I demand pretty aggressive goal setting and a commitment to measured progress towards those goals because I don't like surprises. I don't even like good surprises.

No matter how senior you get in an organization, no matter how well you're perceived to be doing, your job is never done.

All of Christian existence ... stands within an expectation. Its fulfillment may be sure, but its timing is unknown.
mistake failure learning
I have witnessed boards that continued to waste money on doomed projects because no one was prepared to admit they were failures, take the blame and switch course. Smaller outfits are more willing to admit mistakes and dump bad ideas.

What can I tell you I continue to be creative, but have only been commercially successful outside of the U.S.
weekend
Pretend like it's the weekend, ... We could pretend it all the time.
