One question that I have been thinking of for a while now, is how often I should add post to my blog so it will be interesting for people to visit my blog frequently. My goal with my blog is to give you as much information and knowledge about Microsoft next version of ASP.Net (ASP.Net 2.0). I could probably write several post every day about ASP.Net and VS 2005, but people who are visiting my blog once a week or less, will maybe miss some useful information!? What would you read about when you visiting my blog? If you have any suggestions, please let me know.
Now to something very different.
I’m very interesting in leadership and psychology. For about two years ago I read a wonderful book about how to increase productivity, profits and your own prosperity. The book I’m talking about is Gung Ho! Turn on the people in any organization. ISBN: 0-688-15428-X.
I will not write so much about the book, more then mention the three principles of Gung Ho:
- The Spirit of the Squirrel – Worthwhile work
- Knowing we make the world a better place.
- Everyone works toward a shared goal.
- Values guide all plans, decisions and actions.
- The way if the Beaver – In control of achieving the goal
- A playing field with clearly marked territory.
- Thoughts, feelings, need, and dreams are respected, listened to, and acted upon.
- Able but challenged
- The Gift of the Goose – Cheering each other on
- Active or passive, congratulations must be TRUE.
- No score, no game, and cheer the progress.
- E = mc2 – Enthusiasm equal mission times cash and congratulations
From the book:
“Most any job you can name is important and makes the world a better place to live. People really are needed. It’s just that they don’t understand how they fit in”
“Goal setting is a big problem in most organizations. The managers think because they print a goal in the annual report or announce it at some meeting, the goal is shared. They may have shared it, but if the team doesn’t commit, it isn’t a shared goal”
“Running a business from numbers is like playing basketball while watching the scoreboard instead of the ball. Look after the basics if you want success, and first basic is the team”
“Change doesn’t mean just getting a rid of old habit. It means developing new habits to replace the old”
