IF

By Rudyard Kipling

 More Rudyard Kipling

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too:
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise;

If you can dream – and not make dreams your master;
If you can think – and not make thoughts your aim,
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same:.
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build’em up with worn-out tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings,
And never breathe a word about your loss:
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: “Hold on!”

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings – nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much:
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And – which is more – you’ll be a Man, my son!

There was a lot of attention online about a really big CEO being fired for having an affair with a coworker. That is okay, in my opinion.

What is wrong is someone in power is having dalliance with a subordinate, without dotted line direct supervision, it is wrong.

An engagement between a CEO and anyone within the organization he controls, is inappropriate in every level, unless it is in public and professional.

Professionalism drops like an elevator like drop from Universal or Disney < fact check >

Reputation destroyed by poor judgement

Alberta the Rockies :: a great read on travelling from Calgary to the Canadian Rocky Mountains.

The currency of clicks.

When I started online, 10 years ago, the small hum of a rumble beating the drums in the hip-filled early adopters of social media and, I’m guessing, earliest innovators and inventors of creating a hashtag conversation across the virtual universal tribe …

The pioneers of social media:

Those earliest members who learned from each other, supported everyone in the tribe,no boys club or girls locker room stuff.

#USguys on @Twitter
THE coolest gals & guys
who collective learned
the real value of social media
isnt measured by clicks

The support of having a tribe
encouraged many, to stretch beyond their dreams.

discovering their are no limits to using your imagination
trying something of value to you, something that clicks.

CLICKS are the ultimate value of what you bring forward, what stretches are you trying to climb?

Clicks are the greatest currency definitive value online

What do you bring forward that makes the world a better place, representative as Class President of those born in 1961: that was one of my earliest blog back before YUPPYdom, birthed after theINbeTWEENERS whom I attribute to be the true YUPPY demographic, my brethren are attracted to this psychographics oriented tribe who were the original HIPsters.

AWESOMEness!!  Right on ~ treat @LinkedIn as your promotional platform, brag about your personal achievements or professional ones — or even if it is about your children or dog or cat or horse or relative – tell stories in posts = REALLY smart to promote your company, especially if the post is shared BY THE CEO personally would carry a lot of weight and switch on the magnetic button he/she has in front of her.  To write on Linked In with posts, congratulating vendors, partners would be VERY smart.  You demonstrate that you have poise and polish in the C-suite.  

You also have a captive, target audience who can follow you, along with the trusted few you collaboratively connect with who will have articles with your name and your company’s name and float across the feed of your mutual followers, who congratulate or recognize their success.

Classier even more if you recognize a competitor – smooth operator metal detector magnet.

Have an ID on @Twitter +then link your LinkedIn to Twitter =every time you post something, share something it automatically tweets to Twitter. Neither Facebook nor Instagram have this setup with Linked In=why I default to Twitter>casting wide net gathering tribe that reflects vibe. optioneerjm.com 

My 2 cents weigh in & opinion

Bravo for McDonald’s for leading the way – preventing work romance, particularly when one involves a member of the leadership elite. Some consider that taking advantage of a subordinate. However, it has been going on for decades. Think Mad Men with millions of dollar at stake. What is incredible, is his goodbye package being so steep. Rewarding for bad behavior?

I saw similar turbulence at HP when it was on waves of CEO turnover changing directions every time, to Meg Whitman who is ever-present, engaged, talking and leading HP. Good thing, for HP, that she failed in an election attempt, and making her mark there.  Rubbing elbows with Trump is the only question I would have.

A work I started: if a company can commercially make its mark, why can’t a women go to the moon? My guess, she’ll be a Millennial ~ get ur rockets thundering! Are we preparing now Canada?

The updated version of today’s CEO … writing more on #CalgaryBlogger at http://www.optioneerjm.com on WordPress < doing Facebook from my iPad sucks! It doesn’t automatically link when you type with www . com > THAT @Microsoft is impressively intuitively improving its force quietly. I’m not surprised Bill Gates is becoming even more legendary successful dominance in technology. Constantly being of the social UNIVERSE: giving back and paying it forward. Leading by example that it is POSSIBLE to be the BEST version of himself AND help the world be a better place. 1000% control of his personal brand, for example what he’s reading…I’ve followed on Linked In for 12 years now…

Here is my opinion on what your CEO is doing:

A CEO is the frontman of every great band.
