OFF TOPIC: More and Less

We Need More:

Really cool, interesting, and innovative ideas for work, workplaces and people (see Fuel50, BlackbookHR, Data Morphosis, BrandAmper, QUESocial, and Zenefits).

Simple and elegant approaches to solve complex questions.

Pumpkin donuts.

People who don't take themselves too seriously.

BBQ.

Walt 'Clyde' Frazier.

We Need Less:

Updates on your Fantasy Football team.

Emails sent at 11:49PM.

Details about your latest run, CrossFit Workout, or set of push-ups you did.  You do know you get the same benefit and burn the same number of calories even if you don't Tweet about your stupid workout, don't you?

War or combat analogies when talking about sports. 'That quarterback sure is a warrior down near the goal line.' 

Sports analogies when talking about business. 'This new marketing campaign is sure to be a home run with the target demographic.'

Telling us all how busy you are or how hard you are working.

Comparing yourself to the competition. Forget the competition. Most of the time the people/companies that you are worried about are just as amazingly paranoid and possibly dysfunctional as you. Don't worry about them. There is plenty of opportunity for everyone.

Tom Brady. I am so sick of Tom Brady. (I am a Jets fan).

Have a great weekend!
