Robert Kiyosaki once said that every day is filled with defining moments. And that’s absolutely true. From the moment we wake up, we define ourselves when we decide to get up and exercise or sleep an extra half hour. We define ourselves when we call in sick even though we could go to work.

We define ourselves when we turn our money over to a mutual fund to invest for us instead of learning how to invest by ourselves. We define ourselves when we choose social media to improve ourselves.

C’mon you can do it! Several participants were convinced they had done...
There is a famous story about President John F. Kennedy visiting NASA in 1961. While touring the facility, he met a janitor mopping the floor. Kennedy asked him what he did at NASA. “I’m helping put a man on the moon.” Beautiful… Maybe too beautiful to be true. But who cares… the point is brutal. Now, no question how, a few years later, NASA sent three men to the moon using computers weaker than my kid’s lullaby machine. One team. For real. One objective. For real. Not because of an org...
Your team is not weak. Your leadership is. You can hire the best people in the market. The sharpest commercial director. The most experienced technical lead. The planner who can see delays before they are even born. The lawyer who reads contracts like other people read Netflix subtitles. All beautiful. Wonderful. Very LinkedIn.
