Tom Peters continues to urge to keep Excellence Always (If not Excellence, what else? If not NOW, when? - he keeps asking). In this post Excellence? Always? Yes!, he remembers the following from Martin Luther King:
"If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well."
Beautiful isn't it? He also thinks the most important job of the boss is to develop his people. Read The ONE Thing ....
Seth Godin reminds us that You Matter. In another interesting post he talks about The Risk/Reward Confusion.
Guy Kawasaki hardly blogs these days and his blog posts are typically some promo stuff on his company alltop.com (not that I have a problem with that) or his review of some cool car that he got a chance to drive for a week or so (I do envy him on this). He does interview (I love this) some cool folks though in OpenForum.com. Here are some interviews you might like:
- The Inside Scoop on Design - Interview with Harmut Esslinger (Macintosh Designer)
- How to Escape Mundanity - In this interview Pamela Slim explains how to escape the mundanity of corporate cubicle life
- In Pursuit of Elegance - Interview with Mathew E May where he offers 12 indispensable tips for embracing Elegance.
Vinay Dabholkar is studying the roles and influence of CTOs these days. He shares Two Excellent Articles on the Role of CTO (first one talks about the roles and responsibilities of the CTO and the second one talks about 5 dominant patterns amongst CTOs in the US).
