‘Giving recognition and thanks for a job well done promotes happiness in both the recipient and the giver.’

‘Social recognition serves as a healthy-living routine for company culture. It promotes only desired behaviors and discourages superfluous or unhealthy behaviors.’

‘Recognition by peers is one sign that the company’s culture has spread from the elite to the majority.’

‘When peers recognize each others’ contributions, they build trust. Silo walls fall, and information flows more freely.’

‘In a knowledge economy, almost all work is collaborative, that is, social.’

‘The most valuable actions should be recognized, recorded, and retrievable.’

‘Social recognition cultivates a culture of recogniton among employees, management, and executive leadership.’

‘A clear global strategy requires a clear outcome.’

‘Reputation management is no longer a simple matter of ‘managing up’ or becoming the boss’s favorite, but about cultivating a continuous positive conversation with the community.’

‘A global strategy creates a single recognition brand and vocabulary.’

‘Strategic recognition aligns company culture with geographic, national, and even demographic cultures. The company’s most important values are understood by everyone…’

‘Recognition is, like engagement, energy, and creativity, measurable but is about more than a single metric.’

Avoid becoming caught up in the work. Instead, step outside, look down, and isolate individual systems. Then, deciding overall what you want them to accomplish, identify defects as well as outside changing situations. Then improve the systems while always documenting the revisions.’

‘The difference between a large successful business and a small struggling one? Documentation. The former has it. The latter doesn’t.’

‘Without proper recurring attention, outside factors (yes, parasite outside systems) will cannibalize your efficient processes and things will deteriorate. Your fine-tuned system must be kept on track.’

‘In any part of life, in order to avoid system failure and to ensure top efficiency, the top performance of regular system maintenance is mandatory.’

‘The mandatory adjustment is in your moment-to-moment preparation of of the world’s unfolding.’

The strength to take a new direction comes more from a belief lodged in the belly rather than from something learned in the head.’

As by-products of your advancement forward, accept that less-than-perfect events are going to happen. Three steps forward and one step back is the way it goes.’

You must stand outside of it if you are to see how you are a part of it.’

The leader’s role is to first see the wheels of the machine, and then figure out how to get those wheels turning fast and with maximum efficiency.’

Leadership must focus on improving process, not on performing the work or on repeatedly snuffing out brushfires.’

‘Being in control of the details of our lives is mandatory if we are to find peace and success- if we are to find happiness.’
