Business is boring - now what? This talk is designed to fit your time frame: a brief 15 minutes, stretched to 60, or in-between |

What you will hear and see:
Dealing with the unexpected is said to be the most difficult aspect of
business life. The CNO's experience has taught him the opposite.
The most difficult thing to manage is the expected.
Let's face it. Business is boring. It's the same nonsense
over and over,
day after day. But if you take your eye off what you're
doing bad things start happening.
The most successful managers the CNO has worked with were the ones who
had the discipline to focus on the same detail, over and over, day after
day. |
What shifts your mind might make:
(a) why, given time, any business
will become boring;
(b) how the way you look at it influences where you focus your
attention;
(c) how to change your perceptions and thus your attitude to what is
boring;
(d) why you focus on the past and on the future, but seldom on the
present;
and
(e) how to ensure that boredom does not result in missed opportunities
and ignored threats.
