Want to “see” speed? Visit CNN.
Tom Peters (In Search of Excellence, The Pursuit of Wow!) runs an extremely read-worthy blog. Some days ago, a post drew my attention to an article Tom had written in Liberation Management called The Pursuit of Luck. He puts forward 50 rules that you can follow, if you want to get more lucky. Here are some of my favourites:
1. At-bats. More times at the plate, more hits.
6. Visit odd places. Want to “see” speed? Visit CNN.
17. Constantly reorganize. Mix, match, try different combinations to shake things up.
34. Spread confusion in your wake. Keep people off balance, don’t let the ruts get deeper than they already are.
40. Vary your pattern. Eat a different breakfast cereal. Take a different route to work.
45. Get out of your office. Tell me, honestly, the last time something inspiring or clever happened at that big table in your office?!
Boy is he right! You can read the entire article here.
