I haven't read Seth Godin's blog for months. Why? There is so much to learn.
"Why is it okay to have employees in any organization who look for a no?
The same thing happens with the tech crew before I give a speech. About 75% of the time, the lead tech guy (it always seems to be a guy) explains why it's impossible. Impossible to use a Mac, impossible to use the kind of microphone I like, impossible to use my own clicker, etc. And then, the rest of the time, using the same technology, the producer asks, 'how can I help make this work for us?' and everything is about yes, not no."
Seth Godin gets serious about solving our meeting problems:
"1 Understand that all problems are not the same. So why are your meetings? Does every issue deserve an hour? Why is there a default length?
