Sharpen that saw: How to Spot the Five-Tool Superstar

Highly recommended from the Guru:

How to Spot the Five-Tool Superstar

I meet so many smart and talented folks who learn one or two tools and their motive of operation (found by actions speaking louder than resume words) is to milk them out and wail them around for a career.  Frankly in my book, those days are over. Happy job hunting.

Please read and apply twice daily.  And keep that saw sharp.

Distruption - A Tad More Sage Career Advice

Disruption - Knowing what it is and what it does provides a tad bit of career advice at knowing what is sometimes called "help" or "ideas" is often disruption.  Having that good idea that is a real time saver or a better way to do something my seem like good input and both a boost for your future boon and for the betterment for all involved.

Now what makes this sage career advice is knowing that in most locations in a career path disruptions are not welcome.  Oh no they are not. It might be the million dollar fix, but in the workplace which is still factory method minded that it is keep quite, do more, and don't buck the system.  After all those above you know all and see all.

Now with a smirk we know that great ideas can come from anywhere and even the simplest suggestion can be a winner.  Genius knows no boundaries.  But ideas are disruptions and can pull the stop cord on a forward moving train.  Is that what you want to be remembered for?  I thought so.

If you have an idea, and it is a good one, then it can sprout, and grow roots or wings waiting until the time when a disruption is best accepted and handled.  It might take some time and patience, but you probably have not been hired to be disruptive, but to be productive. But in the right time and place, that hiccup that you introduce to improve life and humanity for all in your workplace world will forge a revolution, or maybe just a improvement.

Sage career advice, be productive first, disruptive later.  Its all good.

Hey kids, remember two things....

1. If you post, email, or do anything online, it's public.  If you don't want it public.  Don't post it.

2. Social Networking is business first, and always first.  Then it's social networking.
