It shocks me how timid people are.  Some people at best only incrementally improve if at all.  Most are content to plod through life just doing what they have done in the past year, or the same thing they have done their entire life.  Never stretching, never unleashing their greatness.  Most people and companies for that matter only strive for at best, incremental growth.  Successful people strive for something greater.  They strive to go for goals that are inspiring, for goals and objectives that are amazing, that people are proud to be a part of.     Are you going to be great or stuck in a less than mediocre life?     T

There has been a lot of talk about emotional intelligence.  Here are some articles that I found to be interesting, and thought-provoking.    http://nautil.us/issue/51/limits/emotional-intelligence-needs-a-rewrite   https://www.inc.com/travis-bradberry/are-you-emotionally-intelligent-here-s-how-to-know-for-sure.html     Check us out at www.fivessquared.com

Business issues are multi-faceted.  When you are looking to address any problem, be sure you are looking at the complete picture.  In this episode, we give you three of the most common areas that contribute to 99% of all problems.  The secret is that you can't address just one.

You must take into account the business when assessing your information technology needs. Today's business processes cut across multiple departments within an organization.  You can not afford to look at information technology in isolation.

When we look forward we have to also take stock of our past.  We call this getting complete.  Think of it as project post-mortem on the past year. Look at what went well and what didn't so that you don't make the same mistakes in 2017.

Learn the difference between a goal and dream and how a few simple steps will allow you to achieve more in 2017. Learn how to get leverage on yourself to complete goals when most people fail.   TF
