Anger Does Pay – Big Time

March 23, 2010 by admin

They usually write a lot of sense over at management issues, which is why I was a little surprised to read an article called Anger Doesn’t Pay.

In my book it is perhaps the most important driver for change and innovation. Anger serves a  surprising purpose .  It gives us a clue, a sign that there is something here that we can have the energy and creativity to make better.  Anger pays much more than indifference which at time seems ubiquitous.

What does not pay of course is losing your temper.  Shouting and displaying your anger in ways that alienate people rather than recruit them to your cause.

So value your anger, cultivate it, harness it and make progress.  Just don’t let it ignite your temper!

A Secret that Few Business Planners Know…

February 11, 2010 by admin

“It was not reason that besieged Troy; it was not reason that sent forth the Saracen from the desert to conquer the world; that inspired the crusades; that instituted the monastic orders; it was not reason that produced the Jesuits; above all, it was not reason that created the French Revolution. Man is only great when he acts from the passions; never irresistible but when he appeals to the imagination.”

Benjamin Disraeli, British Prime Minister and Novelist, 1804-1881

Nor is it reason, logic and a good business plan that helps a business succeed.

So spend less time developing the business plan and more time developing the vision, passion and skills.

It’s passion, energy, commitment and often a lot of luck that makes a business thrive.

With thanks to Andy Maslen for the quote!
