Books are my creative outlet and they really tap into my imagination. I’ve always been an avid reader – mostly because I’ve always been able to apply what I’ve learned to what I do.

Of course, creativity is probably not a primary requirement for the jobs that I do (even though it is core to it). You, of course, have been both educated and have trained yourself in creativity – so I guess opening a book may not be the best resource for you. That’s really an interesting perspective, Bitt! Do you have other creative outlets?

I do try to make 1 of 5 books to be fictional so that I’m not buried in leadership, technical, and marketing material. I’m overdue on that right now!

Nice! A little Starfish humor! I’m afraid that cutting off the head would kill us for sure. Ironically, though we have these 5 issues to take care of, the head is who I have the most faith in to make the necessary changes.

Unfortunately, I’m not in a position of authority to actually make the change so it’s more difficult for me to. I am trying to make a difference, though!

Perhaps you need to cut off the head and see if it dies?? Just kidding.

I wish I liked to read (other than blog articles) I can’t pick up and finish a book to save my life.

Interesting, engtech. We’re so afraid of our last mistakes that we’re paralyzed in planning mode. Weeks from release and we’re still arguing features and functionality. It’s not healthy at all. At one company, one of the best bosses I ever had called it “Analysis Paralysis”.

Sometimes you just have to move forward. To your point, though, you can’t simply move without adjusting!

dang. my local library doesn’t have it.

I’m 100% with you on that top 5. I’m going through a “let’s ignore our last post mortem and repeat the same problems” at my startup right now. ugh.

Wow, Sounds like the company I work for at the moment. It seems as a company starts to grown from a innovative small to mid-sized company to more of a Corporate environment, Those 5 habits become all to common.
