Boredom Kills


You think boring is good as dead? Think again! 

OR shall I say, look again. It's all there, and you arent seeing it! Cant see it still?

Then ask your team to make a list of things they hate at work & of things they like, you'd be able to see a common thread on the former list. Those would be all the boring things that you've stuffed out there and that's choking your enterprise motivation. 

Now start throwing them out one by one, boring can't be useful, and if its so useful, find an interesting way to accomplish it. Don't ask HR to do this, most of their stuff falls in that list, and yes no matter what they tell you, your Policy Manual don't make for interesting, neither do those Performance Management forms! In fact if you wish to enjoy true Bon-Fire & cheer, burn those forms first. So with most of your existing content burnt and thrown including your dress codes, wall paints, attendance register or even retina scanner!How do you run Business then?

Well ask your team again; out of fear of getting the PMS forms back, trust me they'll create Awesome stuff to manage it all. 

For an entrepreneur, driving exciting content and keeping boredom at bay is as critical to existence as is keeping away from Health food if you really want to live long. 

Unless of course you'd rather kill!
