    Have you asked any good questions today?
    Nov 9 2024
    "Have you asked any good questions today?" A question that can encourage people to explore, wonder, and learn in insightful ways. Nobel laureate in physics Isidor I. Rabi credited his mother with inspiring him to become a scientist by asking him this question instead of the more common "Did you learn anything today?". “My greatest strength as a consultant is to be ignorant and ask a few questions” ~ Peter Drucker ‌ What's Melvin reading? The New Realities - In Government and Politics / In Economics and Business / In Society and World View by Peter Drucker Nugget - "The resistance to, and contempt for, business and trade on the part of the upper classes - the English gentleman, the Prussian Junker, the French aristocrat, and the clergy - stemmed above all from resentment and fear of the social mobility business offered far too many members of the 'lower orders,' who then promptly forgot their 'place.'" (think about the world painted it in this sentence, not that long ago) Last Thoughts - “Results are obtained by exploiting opportunities, not by solving problems.” ~ Peter Drucker Buddy Check Day, observed on the 11th of each month, is a dedicated initiative to support military veterans. The project encourages individuals to reach out and connect with veterans, promoting a sense of camaraderie and mutual support. By participating in this simple yet meaningful gesture of checking in, people can express gratitude to those who have served in the military and help maintain strong bonds within the veteran community. I'm checking in because I care, not because I am concerned. For more information, visit buddycheckday.org Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    Can you define the good life? With Matt Grubb What's Melvin reading? Managing the Non-Profit Organization by Peter Drucker Nugget - Business supplies, either goods or services. Government controls. A business has discharged its task when the customer buys the product, paid for it, and it's satisfied with it. Government has discharged its function when it's policies are effective. The "non-profit" institution neither supplies goods or services nor controls. Its "product" is neither a pair of shoes nor an effective regulation. Its product is a changed human being. The non-profit institutions are human-change agents. Last Thoughts - Faith is knowing there is an ocean because you have seen a brook. ~ William Arthur Ward We want to express our gratitude to our brothers and sisters who have served in uniform. We encourage everyone to participate in Buddy Check Day on the 11th of each month by reaching out to military veterans.

Innovation and Entrepreneurship by Peter Drucker Nugget - Peter Drucker defined entrepreneurship as a discipline rather than a personality trait. He emphasized that it involves systematic, purposeful, and managed efforts to exploit change as an opportunity. Drucker believed that entrepreneurship is about doing things differently to create new value, rather than merely improving existing methods. He highlighted the importance of innovation as the specific function of entrepreneurship, which involves creating or enhancing wealth-producing resources. Last Thoughts - Poet Danielle Doby on the power of small acts: "When you create a difference in someone's life, you not only impact their life, you impact everyone influenced by them throughout their entire lifetime. No act is ever too small. One by one, this is how to make an ocean rise." We want to express our gratitude to our brothers and sisters who have served in uniform.
