Things are changing

I have over the last 6 months completely changed the way I consume information and great/gifted people’s thoughts.

I have over the years been divulging various management and leadership books such as “Good to Great”,  “7 Habits of Highly efficient people”, “Purple Cow”, “The Goal” and “Think and Grow rich” etcetera etcetera.

It’s been great learning from these masters and guru’s but not optimal in the way I live my life.

I just realized the other day though that my behavior consuming information has shifted completely. I no longer read management books, I now follow great peoples blog’s and their share their thoughts, I learn and it gets me inspired.  I like it since it’s to the point- I get so much more out of the time I put in.

Here are some blog’s that I follow and that inspires me:

Private vs. Govern owned

I had some problems with my lungs a couple of days ago and a private clinc and 10 minutes later I was done with check-up, blood sample and a subscription on medication if needed in future. 

I went directly to get my medicine at a government own pharmacy, after waiting for 5 minutes to get to speak to someone and another 25 minutes to actually get the medicine. A total time of 30 minutes to collect medicine, something that in my world should have taken maximum 10 minutes.  

According to me this is why all for-profit enterprises should be managed like a private one with focus on time and bottom-line.
