Sea Glass

Polished by time??

"Sea glass and beach glass are naturally weathered pieces of glass, which often have the appearance of tumbled stones. "Sea glass" is physically and chemically weathered glass found on beaches along bodies of salt water. Sea glass begins as normal shards of broken glass that are then persistently tumbled and ground until the sharp edges are smoothed and rounded. In this process, the glass loses its slick surface but gains a frosted appearance over many years. These weathering processes produce natural frosted glass. Sea glass takes 20 to 40 years, and sometimes as much as 100 to 200 years, to acquire its characteristic texture and shape." -- wikipedia "sea glass"

So what does being polished by time have to do with corporate musings? In order to answer that question, I would like to start with the definition of what "polished" means. If you think of a piece of sea glass that is washed by sand over time and polished - you will understand what my intention is with this blog. Polishing is accomplished by making something smooth as a result of being rubbed. It's the things in day-to-day life that "rub" and over time polish.

Focus on what you are good at doing.

The best leaders are not just talented or diplomatic , but they are also good at focusing on what they are good at doing. People have many skill sets in the business world . Some people are good at marketing but bad with numbers. Others are natural leaders, but they couldn't tell a marketing campaign from their own shadow. This is where the idea of focusing on what you are good at comes into play. It's not about being the best at everything or having ten different jobs on your resume - it's about focusing on what you are naturally talented in and making sure that you're good at it before taking over other areas of the business too. We are usually directed most strongly towards our strengths, whether we know them or not. Learning will come the easiest in the areas of our strengths.  Is it possible for you to be a good leader in every area? Of course not. It is simply not possible for anyone to be an expert in everything. If you try to be an expert in all aspects of y

Why Are Some Managers Treating Employees Differently?

  Why are some managers treating employees worse than others? Is it because some employees think they deserve it, while others think the same thing? One reason that managers can be different from one another is because of their personality. Some personality types are very compassionate, while others tend to be more forceful and direct. These personality types need to know how to deal with employees in the same manner so that they can also understand how they would act if they were the boss. Some people may believe that managers are being unfair by treating employees in a different way. However, there is nothing that the manager can do, if the employee doesn't want to quit. The only thing a manager can do is learn how to make employees treat him or her in a way that is consistent with what other managers have done in the past. Some people believe that employees deserve a salary increase or a promotion because they have worked hard for the company. However, others will argue that it

Bob Iger to return as CEO of Disney.

Bob Iger will succeed his handpicked successor, CEO Bob Chapek, whose two-year tenure has been marked by conflicts, gaffes, and a deteriorating financial performance. Bob Iger is the enterprising entertainment executive who brought Star Wars, Pixar, and Marvel under the Disney marquee and challenged Netflix's streaming hegemony. Two weeks prior, Disney's quarterly financial performance, a rare occurrence, fell far short of Wall Street estimates on both profit and revenue, sending shares down 12%. The Walt Disney Co. shares have decreased 40% so far this year. At the opening bell on Monday, the company's stock increased 8% as Iger's appointment took effect right away. Reports that Iger was first approached by board members about a potential comeback on Friday sparked the uproar at Disney immediately. After serving as executive chairman for two years, Iger finally left Disney near the conclusion of the previous year, guiding Chapek and ensuring a peaceful transfe
