Working together
Life is too short for corporate jargon and consultant process diagrams.
After thousands of projects, it’s best to only work with people who can collaborate simply, efficiently, professionally and drama-free.
This means we work with forthright people who deal with the objective reality of tasks and problems in the present moment.
We all inherently understand why NOT to work with people who manipulate circumstances based on subjective feelings, corporate BS or low character.
This way we can ensure mutual optimal solutions for the future.
Investigate
Find the actual problem:
The root cause
behind the symptoms
Agree on objective reality
–
Administrate
What we can do
to permanently fix it
Agree on the solution
Do what we say we’ll do
–
Iterate
Communicate.
Adjust to circumstances.
Keep calm and carry on.
Be cool as conditions change
–
Automate
So life is simpler and better
for both of us in the future
With what we can still control
–
Purpose
–
To laugh often and much.
To win the respect of intelligent people.
To earn the appreciation of honest critics
And endure the betrayal of false friends.
To appreciate the beauty.
To find the best in others.
To leave the world a bit better,
Whether by a healthy child,
A garden patch,
Or a redeemed social condition.
To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.
This is to have succeeded!
Ralph Waldo Emerson: American essayist & philosopher
