Talent, Teams, Technology. July 20, 2016. July 20, 2016. Are you pretty smart? I am At least I thought I was. Coming out of college – check that, high school- I was convinced I was not only smart but decisive, a take-action kind of guy. Believe me, there are scenarios where you want smart take-action oriented people: if I’m in a stricken sub well below the ocean’s surface, I want action not debate. If you’re the smartest person in the room, you’re in the wrong room. Let me share an analogy. I play a ...

Talent, Teams, Technology. July 24, 2015. July 24, 2015. Lately I’ve been writing a lot about communication, clarity, feedback and so on. Topics we all give lip service to but when the rubber meets the road we often clam up, cool down and chill out. We learn soon enough that unbridled honesty is too much candor in a world filled with camouflage. We hear things like, you’re too direct, lack tact, are abrasive, demanding, et al.
