Gold out of the weeds
|
Doing things different to the rest of people around you will send you to different places. I’m not saying Cook Island, Vanuatu, Fiji… some of my last trips, but “other places”. You’ll get sued. You’ll sue someone. You’ll get robbed. You’ll make amazing friends. You’ll meet incredible people and partners. You’ll grow… faster than “the rest”. You’ll become smarter, calmer, more focused… faster than the rest, by the way. ​ Be around people that you admire will push you closer to that people… you’ll become one of them. This is why friends, colleagues, partners and so on are so critical. Solo you can do things faster, but with great people around you, you’ll go further. ​ One of the things that cost me a long, long time to learn was the “focus”. To separate the gold out of the weeds.

You want performance?Make winning for them the same as winning for you.Make losing for them the same as losing for you. Simple. Brutal. Fair. In PPPs, I’ve seen both worlds. World A:...
I read these lines today: Choosing to do good and be kind to others is a powerful way to live. When you extend kindness, whether through a small gesture or a significant act, you ignite a spark that uplifts those around you, creating a ripple effect. This approach not only enhances others' well-being but also boosts your own happiness reminding us that even the smallest gestures can leave a lasting impact. Great cultures thrive on kindness. Agree? It’s Monday, so be kind to yourself. Learn...
It’s still surprising to me to see the weights agencies around the globe put on the people that will actually be running the PPP Project. Minimum. Still, despite evidence demonstrating the people and experience are essential ingredients to deliver a successful project, nobody is paying attention. Bad contract, bad project but great people… you have a chance. But if the people that know how to make things to happen are not there… forget about it. So agencies burn billions of dollars globally...
