Deep Thinking

Never confuse working hard with thinking hard. Working hard is evident; memos & reports, lots of meetings and conference calls, and logging long hours on the computer or road. Thinking hard takes uninterrupted time, time for DEEP thinking, a commodity very few of us are willing to carve out. Fear of change is another reason for lack of Depth in thinking. Be careful, when goin deep, you may unearth a new way of doing something. There is obvious risk involved in deep thinking as well because the end result may be disruptive. Want to change something? It will require a bit of deep, hard thinking prior to activity. This is a real issue, because we are often judged by our activity in this short-term results oriented world. Thats OK. Find someone or a vendor that enjoys deep thinking - and invite them to your party. Do it quietly and certainly take credit for the new stream of disruptive ideas. Softly dial 513-470-9809, and ask for Tom.
