Selfdev: You could be an operator, a maker and multiplier

ProfJorgeEntrep has sent you a link to a blog:

 

You could be an operator, a maker and multiplier

Be better than before, than yesterday...





There are three things that you can progress through in your life:    as an operator, a maker, or a multiplier

     1.  An operator -  you follow the work rules, the job description and do what you are told;   you                 dare not venture beyond the four squares and you get your pay  8 - 5 and then you retire.                     Nothing ever changes

    If you ever one wants to go beyond himself he must ask himself:

    1.   Does this thing challenge me?

    2.  Can this affect other mans life

    3.  Can this change the world

  2.  A maker -  an inventor, an innovator.  A participant in Genesis 1:28  Somebody who goes beyond the
       four lines.    He participates in the continuing creation.  He is out to create an impact to the world.
       He realizes the impact of his life in the community and for others

  3.  A multiplier  - Somebody who is a sower and multiplies his impact to the community and the world
       This applies to a teacher, a leader, a community worker, a company CEO, an author.  An influencer.
       His value goes beyond his own community  and locality

WHICH ONE ARE YOU?

Mindset needed at the Board Room by MIT Monk




These are the things we need to be qualified for the Board Room post

1.  Find the missing note  the ghost note  (the missing data)

    Ask for the data that you do not see.    E.g.  the bombers that made bank saw the bullet homes decided to provide armor for the 

   Upgrading your mind for data that do not show up.   

   Look behind the curtain and do nto look into things that are shown.  Be curious

   Look at the silent ghost.

   How the 1%  must think

2.  Optimize mistakes

     Learn from mistakes.  Mistakes and learning from them create new neural networks.    Those who do not make mistakes plateu

   1.  Define metric -  What does better  mean -   faster, better, more accurate, 

    2.  Define the outcome

    3.  Deliver

    4.  Find exact failure point

    5.  Change one thing iterate  

3.  Find the hard.  

     Explore difficult challenges and learn from this  Say difficult nego.

     Stay with it.  

     High tension conversation:  how to navigate hard conversation nego later

     1  From people to facts ;  where do we suggest  we change 

     2  Lesson the tension   are we with you or against us

     3.  No poinitng fingers   -  we want to work together

     4.  Acknowledge their presence;   appreciate what you are doing.  We care about the outcome and you

      Later you will be known as the person 

 4.  Time horizon - say  7 years.   Your action differs if you think long term

      Beams from dining room;  started to rot  The original architect all ready grew the oak so that the beams can be made in the future.  Cathedral thinking. 

     Hedge funds investors invest in long term.  Warren Buffett focussed on the long term.    40 years that passed is very fast

               90 day timeline -   be visible

              12 - 18 months -   decision that willl contribute to the company

              5 years be visionary

             ARE YOU PLANTING FLOWERS OR TREES.  ?

 5.  Your identity  -  you can architect  what yourself 

     Getting more than you deserve
      Deserving more than you get

     When you make a decision?    

     1  What will I be if I make decision?
     2  Is it a decision that is safe but will not make your better.

     You do not see around the corner.  You were made to make the world better.

     You will be better You will be for the world that will be better

Subject:   Innovate or die

1.  If we keep on doing the same thing expecting a different result, that is insanity
      Albert Einstein

2.  To gain better results and be better in our jobs, we have to change the way we think, and behave.  We have to change our paradigm and mindset

3.  Things as simple as getting to work early, being meticulous being determined, being inclusive are simple things to change.  But most of us are on autopilot, and which is convenient that we hardly change.  We are victims of our own habits.

4,  New life comes from new way of thinking

 5. According to Elon Musk, after 50 years, the next 50 years must be totally different from the first 50 years.  It can ber
     hard.   Find your hard.  You must think of products industry or job totally different from what you have now

We even fight or kill if someone attempts to change our habit

4.  To a worm in a horse radish, the world is the horse radish.  Thus we  have to get out of the box and/or think differently

     The changes in the way we live did not come from within the industry:

     1.  Netflix did not come from TV station or video rental;
     2.  FB did not come from mass media company;
     3.  Paypal was not invented by  a bank or financial services company


     Would like to be a dinosaur?   Or us the dinosaur?  
     Are we prepared for the future?   Remember, the future becomes the present and the present becomes the past.  If we are so focussed on the present -  the next 15 or
    30th pay check or separation pay, we are guaranteeing  our demise or falling  into the past oblivion

    So, either we adapt now, or its over.

What is this “Adaptation” of which you speak?

I’ll pick this up in another blog but, put simply, there are four questions to ask yourself and your senior management team:

  • Do we accept that rapid advances in technology (e.g. artificial intelligence, blockchain, Moore’s Law, virtual reality, hyper connectivity) are imminently set to challenge most of our basic working assumptions?
  • Do we believe that total innovative disruption to our industry is highly likely (or even inevitable) at some point in the next three to five years?
  • Do we think Facebook, Apple or Amazon will probably try to eat our lunch Deliveroo style?
  • Are we urgently deploying significant resources towards adapting for the new era?

If the answer to any of the above is “not really”, your Tuesday afternoon could be about to get interesting!

In conclusion…

Change is upon us! Of that there is no doubt. The only question is how we handle it. One approach is to embrace it full on. To understand that massive disruption approaches and that, if we adapt and get involved, it will be innovative and empowering. This is the means by which we shall dramatically improve the futures of 100 million people and more. Technology cannot do it all. Judgement, Experience, Instinct and Compassionate Sacrifice are inherently human qualities. There will always be room for those.
