Tom let me tell you the definition of a good
lending officer. After church on Sunday, on the
way home with his family, he takes a little
detour to drive by the factory he just lent money
to. Doesnt go in or any such thing, just drives
by and takes a look.

Allied commands depend on mutual confidence
and this confidence is gained, above all
through the development of friendships.
General D.D. Eisenhower, Armchair General
(05.08)Perhaps his most outstanding ability
at West Point was the ease with which he made
friends and earned the trust of fellow cadets
who came from widely varied backgrounds it was
a quality that would pay great dividends during
his future coalition command.

MBWA, Grameen Style!Conventional banks ask
their clients to come to their office. Its a
terrifying place for the poor and illiterate.
The entire Grameen Bank system runs on the
principle that people should not come to the
bank, the bank should go to the people. If any
staff member is seen in the office, it should be
taken as a violation of the rules of the Grameen
Bank. It is essential that those setting up a
new village Branch have no office and no place
to stay. The reason is to make us as different as
possible from government officials. Source

Time and space are annihilated by steam. Oh,
this constant locomotion, my body everything in
motion. Steamboats, Cars, hotels all crammed
crowded full the whole population seems in motion
in fact as I pass along with Lightening speed
cast my eye on the distant objects, they all seem
in a whirl nothing appearing permanent even the
trees are waltzing, the mind too goes with all
this, it speculates, theorizes, measures all
things by locomotive speed, where will it end.

For Real Globalization, Look at Ancient
RomeThere is nothing new about a global
world. We were living in one 2,000 years ago.
The Roman in the street ate bread baked with
wheat grown in North Africa or Egypt, and fish
that had been caught and dried near Gibraltar, He
cooked with North African oil in pots and pans of
cooper mined in Spain, ate off dishes fired in
French kilns, drank wine from Spain or France.
The Roman of wealth dressed in garments of wool
from Miletus or linen from Egypt his wife wore
silks from China, adorned herself with diamonds
and pearls from India, and made up with
cosmetics from South Arabia. He lived in a
house whose walls were covered with colored
marble veneer quarried in Asia Minor his
furniture was of Indian ebony or teak inlaid
with African ivory. Peter Jones and Lionel
Casson, The Spectator, 0524.08

100 Ways to Succeed 139 Work the Damn Phones!
Treble Your MBWA! One of my favorite quotes,
from Carolyn Lamb , goes like this A year from
now you may wish you had started today. Yes,
today many of us wish we had wildly
overinvested in those employee-vendor-client-com
munity relationships when the market was heading
North and there was a little slack in the system.
Well, perhaps we didnt, but, and Im not doing
a Tony Robbins here, it really is never too
late. That is Work the damn phones. Keep
working the damn phones. Show up. Keep showing
up. Call clients and suppliers, ask them how
things are going, and how you can help. This is
not about sales (directly), but about showing
uptaking time from your busy affairs to offer
assistance of any sort. (E.g., offer up your
network Well, Dave one of your key suppliers,
I know Ed Simpson, over there at one of Daves
problem clients his daughter and mine are
co-captains of the name of school soccer team
I can give him a call for you if youd like.
Etc.) This is even more important with our
employees. Overinformthe rumors are
invariably worse than reality. Overdo your
MBWAmanaging by wandering around. Keep your
enthusiasm up if it kills younot in a dopey
grin, all is well way, but by exhibiting energy
and masking any internal doom gloom expressions
that may in fact be just beneath the surface.
I use the formal word employees here, a word
I ordinarily dislike. But the point is that you
do have a formal hierarchal relationship with
those on your payroll, and thence a formal as
well as an abiding moral obligation concerning
their and their families well-being. A series

The Dream Manager Matthew KellyAn
organization can only become the-best-version-of-i
tself to the extent that the people who drive
that organization are striving to become
better-versions-of-themselves. A companys
purpose is to become the-best-version-of-itself.
The question is What is an employees purpose?
Most would say, to help the company achieve its
purposebut they would be wrong. That is
certainly part of the employees role, but an
employees primary purpose is to become
the-best-version-of-himself or herself. When a
company forgets that it exists to serve
customers, it quickly goes out of business. Our
employees are our first customers, and our most
important customers.

Mapping your competitive position or
Rich DAveni/HBR
70
The Have you 50See Appendix One
71
While waiting last week early December 2007 in
the Albany airport to board a Southwest Airlines
flight to Reagan, I happened across the latest
Harvard Business Review, on the cover of which
was a yellow sticker. The sticker had on it the
words Mapping your competitive position. It
referred to a feature article by my friend Rich
DAveni. His work is uniformly goodand I have
said as much publicly on several occasions dating
back 15 years. Im sure this article is good,
toothough I didnt read it. In fact it triggered
a furious negative Tom reaction as my wife
calls it. Of course I believe you should worry
about your competitive position. But instead of
obsessing on competitive position and other
abstractions, as the B-schools and consultants
would always have us do, I instead wondered about
some practical stuff which I believe is more
important to the short- and long-term health of
the enterprise, tiny or enormous.

In How Doctors Think, Harvard Med doc Jerome
Groopman tells us that the best way to get a fix
on what ails a patient is to get the patient
talking openly about his-her problem. Great. But
the research shows that docs, on average, leap
to a conclusion and interrupt their patients
after 18 seconds. (Docs are hardly alone. This
is a disease present in almost all specialists
and professionals. Listening for a professional
invariably means talking.)

103
There is a misconception that supportive
interactions require more staff or more time and
are therefore more costly. Although labor costs
are a substantial part of any hospital budget,
the interactions themselves add nothing to the
budget. Kindness is free. Listening to patients
or answering their questions costs nothing. It
can be argued that negative interactionsalienatin
g patients, being non-responsive to their needs
or limiting their sense of controlcan be very
costly. Angry, frustrated or frightened
patients may be combative, withdrawn and less

would have taken to interact with them initially

10 UNASSAILABLE REASONS WOMEN
RULE Women make all the financial
decisions.Women control all the wealth. Women
substantially outlive men. Women start most of
the new businesses. Womens work force
participation rates have soared
worldwide. Women are closing in on same pay for
same job. Women are penetrating senior
ranks rapidly even if the pace is slow for
the corner office per se. Womens
leadership strengths are exceptionally well
aligned with new organizational effectiveness
imperatives. Women are better salespersons than
men. Women buy almost everythingcommercial
as well as consumer goods. So what exactly is

world THE GIANT STALKING BIG OIL How
Schlumberger Is Rewriting the Rules of the Energy
Game. In short, Schlumberger knows how to create
and run oilfields, anywhere, from drilling to
fullscale production to distribution. And the
nugget is hardcore, relatively small, technically
accomplished, highly autonomous teams. As China
and Russia, among others, make their move in
energy, state run companies are eclipsing the
major independents. (Chinas state oil company
just surpassed Exxon in market value.) At the
center of it all, abetting these new players who
are edging out the Exxons and BPs, the Kings of
Large-scale, Long-term Project Management wear
Schlumberger overalls. (The pictures in the
article from Siberia alone are worth the cover
price.) At the center of the center of the
Schlumberger empire is a relatively newly
configured outfit, reminiscent of IBMs Global
Services and UPS integrated logistics experts
and even Best Buys now ubiquitous Geek Squads.
The Schlumberger version is simply called IPM,
for Integrated Project Management. It lives in a
nondescript building near Gatwick Airport, and
its chief says it will do just about anything an
oilfield owner would want, from drilling to
productionthat is, as BusinessWeek put it,
IPM strays from Schlumbergers traditional
role as a service provider and moves deeper into
areas once dominated by the majors. (My old pal
was solo on remote offshore platforms
interpreting geophysical logs and the like.)

This is so simple it sounds stupid, but it is
amazing how few oil people really understand that
you only find oil if you drill wells. You may
think youre finding it when youre drawing maps
and studying logs, but you have to drill.

We made mistakes, of course. Most of them were
omissions we didnt think of when we initially
wrote the software. We fixed them by doing it
over and over, again and again. We do the same
today. While our competitors are still sucking
their thumbs trying to make the design perfect,
were already on prototype version 5. By the
time our rivals are ready with wires and screws,
we are on version 10. It gets back to planning
versus acting We act from day one others plan
how to planfor months. Bloomberg by Bloomberg
