In organizations, you might have star players/performers, but if the leader is of poor quality, the organization will suffer at really inopportune time. Sentimentality can only go so far, but in the end, it is a results based when it comes to doing business.
Big question for the board.
To do well you must have grit, basically persevering, going on .. when things are not going your way.
Actually, I saw both videos and for me, both are relevant nowadays, as we are restarting our lives post pandemic. We gotta know when to hold on and when to let go.
All the best.
From the biography of Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson, one of my favorite stories is what he did when he came back. When he came back to Apple, Steve Jobs had presentations of the current Apple lineup of products to have an idea what Apple was offering. Reputedly, he was frustrated with what he was seeing, that at a meeting, he stopped the presentations, went to a whiteboard, and started writing. What he wrote was a box, quadrant of four. The columns are Consumer and Pro, the rows were Desktop and Portable.
For Jobs, “Deciding what not to do is an important as deciding what to do “, he said. That’s true for companies and it’s true for products.” (336, Isaacson).
For me, this scene was the beginning of Apple’s renaissance to their current success. What he taught us at this moment is simply this – once you what to do, focus on it and execute it well. Focus is important, no doubt, but focusing on too many things does not work as well.
I have so many ideas, but I feared writing about them. Well, that is over. I plan to write everyday. Am going to do the Seinfeld writing advice.
I will link below several articles that talk about his writing, basically, he is saying keep writing daily, whatever it is. Eventually, it will be easy, I think 🙂 I know Seth Godin writes like this.

Okay, I will stop now 🙂
Am starting a new blog project for the local Malaysian market based on the current training am attending from FatStacks. I have always been interested in blogging and well, with 2022 coming up, might as well go ahead and do this, as an experiment as well. Starting it up is one thing, continuing and maintaining a project is another story.
Wish me luck 🙂
I liked this post in the Supercreator, so I will park it here for further reference.
This is my first blog post using the Guttenberg editor in WordPress. So far, so good. For a while, if you are familiar with the old editor, it is confusing, but after a while it makes sense, why WordPress is going this way.
More info on the Gutenberg editor here.
Well, here I am again. Back to write … hopefully for a longer duration 😀
