Taking flight

A question i didn’t ask but just thought of now while we taxi to the Atlanta runway is:

You say your CEO job is to control the speed of the organization. Do you mean the speed with which traditional checklists are completed, or do you mean the speed at which your organization innovates?

  1. Top 3 priorities activity Direct report/Leader
  2. Do you believe in work life balance?
  3. What’s your before and after work routine?
  4. What are your personal priorities?
  5. Who was your best leader and why?

Note: This post’s title (Take flight) is inspired by today’s one-week post cataract surgery followup exam. Hoping to ‘take flight’ with my eye’s healing progress.

Time to fly

iPhone alarm clock
First time in a while with less than eight hours sleep. Why? Tried to catch the men’s NCAA college basketball national championship between Purdue and UConn. And, need a 5:00am wake-up to prep for airport departure.

The only limits i have are those i impose upon myself.

dad

Makes sense to think it’s impossible to age with physical vibrancy.

Why?

Name someone you personally know who’s between 60-100 years old who is.

Habits.

You must hone scalable, good and decent health habits for a lifetime.
