Bare Knuckle People Management

CEO Blog

I get behind in my reading so in the past have tried to do 10 books in 10 days. I can do the reading but adding the reviewing is difficult. So for day 3. I read Bare Knuckle People Management - Creating Success with the Team your Have - Winners, Losers, Misfits and All by Sean O'Neil and John Kulisek. I had a negative reaction to the title. I tend to be more of a people person and more of a "look for the good in people" person.

Investing and the Irrational Mind

CEO Blog

I ran the Elizabeth T. McNamee Memorial 5K today. I was over a minute slower than last week coming in at 23:13. Still put me close to the top 10% at 89th out of 830 runners. It was a very inefficient way to run since the pollen killed my productivity for the day. I need to carefully plan my outdoors time these days. Someone really needs to develop a pollen filter that works.

Landing in the Executive Chair Book Review

CEO Blog

I have 2 bad time management habits (well I am sure I have more than that but.) 1 - I tend to accept meetings, appointments etc. if they are well into the future. I look at my calendar and don't see much on so I book them. Then when they arrive, I find myself in my usual over busy state. A lot of the Angel/Venture Capital stuff I do involves exits (selling businesses).

Too Many Bosses, Too Few Leaders

CEO Blog

Gardening is a good time to think and I just finished a couple of hours. Of course thinking and reaching conclusions are not the same thing. Some of my thoughts: Gardening is a poor hobby for someone with hayfever (like me) It is a strange world we live in where people need to go to the gym to get exercise then they pay their gardener. Any problems I feel are ridiculous and not really problems.
