Big Red Car and betraying a bit of IRS fatigue. The big question is really — who is running things in Washington, the District of Columbia and over at the Internal Revenue Service?
The answer, Old Sport, is NOBODY! Continue reading
Big Red Car here. Well it will be a good day here in the ATX — 90F and the pattern leading to summer is upon us. But, hey, we love a bit of sunshine and warm weather now don’t we?
Because we can put the top down and run like a scalded dog out and about. Haha, Big Red Car, you are a hoot. To yourself anyway, Big Red Car.
Big Red Car here. Nice quiet early morning, let’s me compose my thoughts. We had a thunderstorm last night and the yard is strewn with twigs and leaves. Lots of lightning. Big Red Car loves lightning. It seems to energize my personality and make me excited. There is nothing in the world like an excited Big Red Car. Haha, Big Red Car, you crack yourself up, don’t you?
So The Boss is working with a couple of his CEOs and they are looking for some guidance as to how they should define their relationship with their company — an employment agreement.
In once instance, the CEO is selling his company and is being retained by the new owners. The new owners want to ensure that the CEO does not wander off and start another company, so they are both wanting to get something done. And, why the Hell not, Big Red Car?
Big Red Car here. Going to be a great day in the ATX and why the Hell not? On Earth as it is in Connecticut? No, dear friends, on Earth as it is in Texas!
So, The Boss is laying out how to build the fundamental intellectual building blocks of a new company. Have you been paying attention? Yes, you have, Grasshopper and the Big Red Car appreciates it very much. Thank you.
Big Red Car here. Going to be a nice day here in the ATX. Bit cool this morning but this is one of the best times of the year — cool mornings, delightful warm afternoons. Enjoy it. This is why folks live in Texas. On Earth as it is in Texas, ya’ll. It’s more than a slogan.
So The Boss is up early this morning to have coffee with one of his CEO friends. A successful startup entrepreneur and they get to talking about The Boss’s current focus on Vision, Mission, Strategy, Tactics, Objectives, Values, Culture.
I know you’ve seen it here. I ‘splained the Vision Statement yesterday. You know, That Vision Thing — Read about it here. <<< click on link
Big Red Car here and here is the ATX. If you are in Austin today you know it is 70F, no humidity and a certain Mediterranean quality to the sunlight out there. And, there is a lot of sunlight.
It is also Cinco de Mayo — a big celebration down here in the former colony of Mexico.
Big Red Car here. Cool night and The Boss is up early this morning. He loves a Saturday morning. Pancakes and bacon, perhaps? Bit of fresh 10W30, please pass the clean air filter? Haha, Big Red Car, you crack yourself up.
So The Boss was musing about the “tapestry of business” — all the individual threads that must be woven together to make a coherent whole. It is a structural notion that requires a strong core, a stout wearing surface and a lovely pattern. It has to be strong, wear well and turn a pretty face to the public. Most importantly, it has to be real and authentic.
Big Red Car here. What a day in the ATX — brilliant sunshine, not a cloud in the sky. Air clear and bright. Nice and cool. On Earth as it is in Texas!
So The Boss has been visiting with several of his CEO coaching clients and I overheard a conversation in which The Boss used the phrase: Crawl, walk, run. Hmmm, wonder what he meant by that? The Boss has his favorite sayings indeed.
