Going to and returning from lunch, I saw Coach K today. I wonder if he noticed I was wearing my Carolina blue golf shirt.

Teamwork

Posted by richard Tue, Jun 14 2005 22:02

Today was all about teamwork. Today was our day long "working" retreat. It started a little rough, but eventually, we came up with some good conclusions. These conclusions were all the result of some great unselfish teamwork. Now, did it take a little longer than I would have liked...maybe, but it was still good. I heard this quote this past weekend at the NFJS conference (I will probably blog more about the conference when I get a chance): "aim for success, not for perfection". In one way or another, I think that is what we are starting to realize.

My second example of teamwork was tonight in the basketball league I play in. There were only 4 of us there tonight, but we were still able to win. This demonstrated teamwork as well - maybe some of the best we have had all season. OK, I admit, we did get some breaks, but we still played well.

Today was all about teamwork.

Apple Switching

Apple is switching to an Intel based architecture. The move should be completed by the end of 2007. Very interesting move and it is even more interesting that they have had an i86 version of Mac OS X running for the past 5 years. Check out MacRumors for more information. Maybe this will help drive down the cost of the current Mac hardware.

Apple to Switch to Intel

I guess we will find out on Monday if Apple is really going to switch from IBM's PowerPC chip to Intel's chips x86 chips. This would be huge.

Continue to Learn Something New

Posted by richard Fri, Jun 03 2005 21:35

I have had some general thoughts and conversations about continually learning and growing. It started a couple of weekends ago when my parents were up visiting. My mom was telling me about this new process she was using at work that involved learning something new on the computer. Who could provide a better example than my own parents with their willingness to learn new things.

Then I was talking about this same idea with a co-worker and how it is important to continually give people the opportunity to grow and learn something new. This is such an important factor when trying to motivate people and give them a chance to excel. By giving people this opportunity, they are poised to become more motivated and productive employees.
