used to call them boulders. I usedproblem (agency name) makes is that they try to do to say the
everything and finish nothing. I say it’s like pushing a thousand pebbles up a mountain at one
mile an hour. After 50 years, they’re only halfup. All you get to show for yourself is you’re tired. -way
And so, what if we just took 3 boulders and got them up and over the mountain-top. I used to call
them my boulders. And the first year, there were 50 or 60 items. What I found was it was good to get
those done, but then the people who didn’tthem felt left out. So I had to broaden the base so work on
that everybody had a stake in it. Research areas it’s hard to get boulders – but you can update your –
research plan, something that “I’m part of this.” You know the old saying “what am I, chopped
liver?” You don’t want anybody feeling like they’re chopped liver. People that are part of something,
they will work harder and they will work in a more focused way.
(^) I’ll give you one more. Tell me if I’m talking too
much. I always joke that I that I know are good ideas at the beginning have very few good ideas
(chuckle). What I know is how to recognize a good one when it comes up. There was a couple of years
in my last job kind and I was trying to get at how– we were having a retreat of some do we make
things better? How do we do things better? And you know what, nobody wants to really talk about
how to do things better. I don’t know if it’s boring or if it’s debilitating or demoralizing, but I got this
whole bureaucracy, I don’t have enoublah blah blah. And then almost by accident I said gh resources,
“well, what would a world class organization do?” (animated) All of a sudden everybody sat up: and
immediately they knew, this is what a world class
