“If you’re waiting for that Promotion to perform well and change the World, it ain’t gonna happen. Ever. People get promoted when you’re already performing consistently at the Next Level. And the best way to strategize is what if you were doing the Manager’s job itself”
– Satya Nadella
Entrepreneurship
Good mess or Bad mess…
Good mess – Happens when various teams work with a shared purpose.
Bad mess – Occurs when teams push their own agendas ahead of common goals.
Claim your leadership power….
For any problem you encounter, follow these steps:
- Don’t blame – Don’t play the blame game it does not help.
- Look into the mirror – How I may have contributed to the problem.
- Engineering a solution – If the conflict of blame is not in the air, you can jointly figure out a solution.

Step 2: Continuous Hiring – Even when you don’t need resources, keep hiring, at this time you get the best candidates because you get to be choosy.
Step 3: Fire Bad Performer(s) ASAP – Keep firing as work is not progressing because of the bad performer(s).
Keep repeating this process and you will find the best team.
