Early morning meeting
Was at another auto manufacturer for another presentation and meeting.
They are related to another previous manufacturer I visited but the facilities and office was worlds apart.
Cool discussion area!

What a storm!
Close shave!
Whoops! Timberrr!
Ikea, So what!
I wonder why so many people like Ikea furniture. Admittedly, there are some nice things but how we actually buy their stuff, load all several hundred pounds (or kilos) into our cars (or trucks) and lug them all the way home, then spend the next four hours trying to assemble everything. Yup, the Ikea tagline, why do we make you assemble your own furniture, well, so you pay less and get to enjoy your furniture right away. Yeah, right after your figure out screw 4-C is missing and you just threw out your back carrying the box up to your room or something. Save money?! Ikea is NOT cheap. Oh well, that’s how life is… you just gotta live with it.
Buy! Buy! Buy???

Taking charge
What does it mean to lead?
What does it mean to be a manager or the boss?
Well, it means that you take the lead.
Like Mr Oh, my air-conditioner installer who put in an aircon into my unit this morning. Tweleve floors up and who climbed outside the window with a three-inch ledge with nothing more than a safety harness strapped to the puny aluminum window frame and his worker. When I asked him why he went outside and not his worker, he said, “I’m the boss so I takes the risk. I own the company, the other guy just works for me.”
Leadership principle I learned from a simple lesson this morning. When you lead, take ownership, including the risks.
