As a part of our presentations to airstaffs, I have become fond of including my favorite Woody Allen quote:
Now Seth Godin has modernized it, reminding us that good enough is no longer good enough:
What does Seth mean? Showing up is table stakes. Today, the mission is to bring something to the table, enchant, and maybe even “change the agenda.”
How often do we walk into a meeting, notepad in hand, waiting for the agenda to come to us? As Seth wisely tells us, it’s a different game, we all have to work harder to earn our keep, and to retain our place on the team.
Whether you’re in the air studio, in the sales cubicles, on the management team…
… or you’re a research company or a consultant.
Thanks for the refresher and the reminder, Seth.
We’re proud to have designed and built the mobile apps for Seth’s blog for both the Apple and Android platforms at the links listed below:
