Mission, mission, mission — quick what is our mission?
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.

Weaving the Tapestry of Business
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. Bluebird day here in the ATX. Top down day.
So The Boss gets a bunch of emails in regard to the post about Performance Appraisal. He gave away a free exemplar — a form — which showed how he used to do this years ago. You can get one at that blog post or later on in this one. Don’t fret. Useful free stuff coming your way.
