88 Tips For Business – Rework Reworked (a reminder list)

Rework is a string of 88 short essays by Jason Fried and David Heinmeier Hansson - the founders of 37signals.com (we are big fans of their products Highrise, Basecamp, Campfire and Backpack at Bluewire Media). It's a gem, so I thought I'd write a one line summary of the 88 to remind me.

How to solve any problem in 20 mins – The Value of Extreme Questioning

In the workshop which Adam and I both attended, Liz organised a 5 minute exercise to get us in the groove of relentless questioning - one of the top traits of all great leaders from her book. We picked an issue then chose roles. Adam asked the questions first, and I answered, then we switched it over. I was excited! Even in 5 minutes, I had a much clearer idea of the problem we'd been discussing. I made a mental note to use it in the future if I was stuck on a problem. Sure enough...

I’m sure this is why I enjoyed the Native Genius session so much. But how can you get the best out of others, if you can’t get the best out of yourself? This is why I’ve become fascinated by Tim Ferriss – New York Times #1 best selling author of The 4 Hour Work Week which I read and loved. (His latest book which I haven't read is The 4 Hour Body.)

How to Discover “Native Genius” – Taking action on Multipliers

Here's what I wrote to Liz Wiseman and Greg McKeown as feedback on the session: I can’t tell you how energizing it was! It’s incredible to watch people around the table really identify what is the absolute best in their team mates. Then the reaction of the person in the “hot seat” - as they come to realise what others believe is their strongest quality, understand what it is that really drives them and realise how it translates not just to work, but across all aspects of their lives – was inspiring! The formal reviews we had scheduled for the next day were quite different as a result too.

Is this the first ever example of crowd-sourcing?

Twelve mighty volumes; 414,825 words defined; 1,827,306 illustrative quotations used... The total length of type - all handset, for the books were done by letterpress, still discernible in the delicately impressed feel of the inked-on paper - is 178 miles, the distance between London and the outskirts of Manchester. Discounting every punctuation mark and every space - which any printer knows occupies just as much time to set as does a single letter - there are no fewer than 227,779,589 letters and numbers.

Heretics + Followers – Blind Sheep = Obligation

In Seth’s words: A tribe is a group of people connected to one another, connected to a leader and connected to an idea.
