A Personal Philosophy: Be the Best
Execupundit featured this quote last week and it’s a great one to live by.
You do not want to be considered just the best of the best. You want to be considered the only ones who do what you do.
- Jerry Garcia
That’s how we run our business. It works. Imagine if you ran your HR shop that way. The hell with doing what everyone else does and attenuating to the mean. Do your own thing and do it the best. You won’t be disappointed.
Thought for the Day
I believe advertising is the tax you pay for being unremarkable.
-Russell Simmons, Hip-Hop Mogul
This quote in Fast Company made me think about some HR types complaining that they don’t have a place at the table. Truly great products don’t need advertising — they sell themselves.
A Note to Managers About Deception
We are inclined to believe those whom we do not know because they have never deceived us.
–Samuel Johnson
I Want to Hire People Who Push the Revolving Door
I want to hire people who push the revolving door, even though there’s nothing in it for them. The hell with people who jelly arm the door and fake push it. Give me a company full of people who push the revolving door and they won’t be going out of one.
Quick Thought
I read this quote by Kurt Herbert Alder today and thought about people who say “That’s the way we’ve always done it.”
Tradition is what you resort to when you don’t have the time or the money to do it right.
