One of my personal obsessions
|
You feel it when the conversation comes up. Fear. Artificial intelligence. It’ll replace us. It’ll get us into trouble. We should be careful. ​ I’m amused. ​ Especially, when we enter into the combination of robotics and AI. ​ That’s when things start coming interesting. Surgeons, replaced. All doctors, why not. Elon is very supportive of that. Consultants. Caregivers. And so on. ​ Robots and AI will take all jobs. This time is different… ​ Of course! Like the steam machine. Like the automobile. Like computers. Like smartphones. ​ New technology has a stubborn obsession to put out of work those people who don’t use it. ​ When people see fear. I just see opportunities. Everywhere. ​ Like one of my personal obsessions on construction sites. Safety. ​ If I can remove people from dealing with machines of hundreds of tons at a few metres of them… I know that I’m saving lives. Get robots. Or joysticks and computers. Or both. But let’s eliminate those hazards. Let’s build faster and safer. ​ And that’s one example. And I think that I’ll see this in my lifetime. ​ But look. I always say this. Make you irreplaceable. By your knowledge. By the value that you add. By the things you can achieve. By adaptation. ​ For a little bit of knowledge, you can click the links below. ​

Last year, kindercare official picture, Christmas party with kids and family, strawberry picking, etc. This year, nothing. Last year, a competent person. This year, someone less so… or with less time… or with more excuses. No matter your contract. Your organization chart. Your incentives. Your whatever. People continue to be the key for success. Still companies squeeze to the bone salaries and benefits, and treat people like commodities… And honestly, they are not. At least, not yet… who...
I signed the contract on Monday. On Wednesday, I received a welcome email – I’m your personal property manager. Next day – Mail. We are talking care of connecting utilities. Later mail: Done! Next day – Mail: We are ordering the mattresses and the repairs as discussed during our meeting on the apartments. Early following week – Mail: We have listed the apartments. End of the week – Mail: We have conducted visits and we have received applications. We are doing our checks and will let you know...
Just yesterday, I had an interesting call. “What should I do if these guys are “locos”? Translated: What to do with a client that it’s not engaging? That’s a hard one. Let’s get more information: “Are they experienced?” “No” “Are they empowered?” “No” “Have they been instructed to give you nuts?” “Maybe” “Warm… Have you asked why **** is so important for them?” “No” “Warmer… Have you had recently a coffee or conversation with their bosses?” “No” “Ummm… let’s prepare an action plan” You can...
