Get a clue, eh? A clue train

Motivational thought
We don’t need to settle, that’s clue #1

 

Get a clue, or maybe ride the Clue Train, a 1999 manifesto about the industrial age and how the Internet, without even trying, will bring the Industrial Age and all it’s (now) antiquated leaders and business models to their proverbial knees.

But their 95 Theses are chillingly real today.

Long live the Internet, and whatever comes along and replaces it.

Oh, and by the way, there’s also the Hugh Train manifesto by Hugh MacLeod.

The main point: Great leaders (but not great managers) bring out the freak in each of us.

You’re such a freak, is a crowning leadership glory.

In our desire to make more money, so we can buy nicer things, we work hard to get the next promotion, or make the next commissioned sale.

There’s a tried and true path that is crowded, and, predictable. Only a few get there first.

Freaks slow things down, because they question, they balk, they don’t follow. Status quo hates that.
