Don Quijote didn’t ship

RoosterMoon Publishing — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 21:25:43 +0000

Society makes heroes out of entrepreneurs and adventurers that tilt at windmills and succeed. Napster slays the music industry! Twitter comes out of nowhere! The thing about taking on the biggest giants is that most of the time (so often...

Mentoring, platforms and taking a leap

RoosterMoon Publishing — Sat, 08 May 2010 07:59:42 +0000

How much support does someone need (or get, or deserve, you pick) before they ship their art? The fearful lizard brain demands reassurance and coaching and even a push before it is quiet enough to permit us to do the...

“Powerpoint makes us stupid”–these bullets can kill

RoosterMoon Publishing — Thu, 29 Apr 2010 23:57:11 +0000

The US Army reports that misuse of Powerpoint (in other words, using Powerpoint the way most people use it, the way it was designed to be used) is a huge issue. I first wrote a popular short free ebook about...

In search of a jealous chipmunk

RoosterMoon Publishing — Mon, 26 Apr 2010 12:52:07 +0000

You won't find one, so don't waste your time. Chipmunks, wolves and other wild animals rarely get jealous. The number one emotion among wild animals isn't vanity or happiness: it's fear. Fear is everywhere in the animal kingdom, because fear...

You rock

RoosterMoon Publishing — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 10:45:09 +0000

This is deceptive. You don't rock all the time. No one does. No one is a rock star, superstar, world-changing artist all the time. In fact, it's a self-defeating goal. You can't do it. No, but you might rock five...

It’s easier to teach compliance than initiative

RoosterMoon Publishing — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 04:38:11 +0000

Compliance is simple to measure, simple to test for and simple to teach. Punish non-compliance, reward obedience and repeat. Initiative is very difficult to teach to 28 students in a quiet classroom. It's difficult to brag about in a school...

The doormat, the jerk and the lizard brain

RoosterMoon Publishing — Sun, 28 Feb 2010 10:38:12 +0000

The best reason to be a jerk at work is that of course no one will listen to you or support you or embrace your ideas--you're a jerk. The best reason to be a doormat at work is that in...

Genius is misunderstood as a bolt of lightning

RoosterMoon Publishing — Sun, 28 Feb 2010 10:38:11 +0000

Genius is the act of solving a problem in a way no one has solved it before. It has nothing to do with winning a Nobel prize in physics or certain levels of schooling. It's about using human insight and...
