Sand in my socks!

Another lap of the sun and another year older for all of us, but namely today the youngest in our family, little Finley Arthur. Finn’s come a long way in his two years and is now speaking in short sentences, but usually starting with “duggee, hey daddy duggee, is duggee daddy, look!”.

In order to spur him on further we have a range of books for him this year, as well as a little wooden construction set and an indoor tuff tray. Loved by parents and builders alike, the tuff tray really helps to keep things tidied together, to this morning there’s been a lot of construction work going on in the front room.

It likely means that I will be finding sand in my socks for the next few weeks (or months) but you never know, it just might be worth it!

  Making Sure You are in the Right Jungle
  
  Coveyism, borrowed from the late great Dr. Stephen R. Covey of the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People and Principle Centered Leadership.
  
  If you want a clear understanding of the difference between management and leadership imagine the scene: someone going through the jungle with a machete cutting the undergrowth clearing it up. There are the producers down there, see, the workers. Here all the managers are, back here sharpening the machetes for them, putting on muscle development classes for machete wielders, setting up working schedules for machete wielders, handling jurisdictional disputes between machete wielders. The leader climbs the tallest tree in the jungle, surveys the entire scene, studies the larger picture and screams out “Wrong jungle” and all the managers shout back: Shut up we are making progress.1
  
  Through BRM and CRM, your metalcasting operations will always be making progress in the right jungle through improved communications and expanded relationships.
