Wishing all of you a Happy St. Patrick’s Day – a celebration of faith and the history and culture of Ireland. One doesn’t have to be Irish on St. Patrick’s Day. Nor do you have to be on Earth…in fact, @NASA astronaut Cady Coleman celebrated St. Paddy’s from the ISS playing a flute a few years back! Have a safe and fun day today!

Some people are focused on daily tasks while others are focused on their goals and how to achieve them. I've found these differences to be quite similar to the differences between people who are intuitive vs. sensing. Those who tend to focus on goals and "visualize" best can see the big pictures over time and are also more likely to make meaningful changes and anticipate future events. These goal-oriented people can step back from the day-to-day and reflect on what and how they're doing. They are the most suitable for creating new things (organizations, projects, etc.) and managing organizations that have lots of change. They typically make the most visionary leaders because of their ability to take a broad view and see the whole picture.
In contrast, those who tend to focus on daily tasks are better at managing things that don't change much or that require processes to be completed reliably. Task-oriented people tend to make incremental changes that reference what already exists. They are slower to depart from the status quo and more likely to be blindsided by sudden events. On the other hand, they're typically more reliable. Although it may seem that their focus is narrower than higher-level thinkers, the roles they play are no less critical. I would never have gotten Principles: Life & Work out or accomplished hardly anything else worthwhile if I didn't work with people who are wonderful at taking care of details. #principleoftheday

Harvey Firestone on one's tendency to escape thought:
"...a committee organization is just an elaborate means of fooling oneself into believing that a spell spent talking is the same as a spell spent thinking."
Insecure leaders strive to be the most powerful person in the room. They make others feel weak so they alone can stay strong.
Secure leaders aim to amplify the power of the room. They use their strength to make others stronger.
The best and highest use of power is to share it.
The biggest generator of long-term results is learning to do things when you don’t feel like doing them.
If you let excuses or emotion drive behavior, you’re cheating your future self.
Put aside the excuses and start doing what you need to do.
Sometimes I wonder whether alien space vessels are inherently fuzzy & out-of-focus (that would be terrifying). And whether they love the @USNavy (that would be charming).
If so, it would explain a lot.
A critical quality for success is the ability to change your mind. A lot of ideas are bad until they’re good. And a lot of ideas are good until they’re bad.

Every PM knows about different product prioritization frameworks.
But there are a lot out there.
Let me guide you through five different frameworks along with their definitions, pros, and cons.
@johncutlefish 1. Can I determine how the process was created and how it can be modified.
2. Is it saving time?
3. Is it automated?
4. Are there repeated failures of the process - how do you measure?
5. If everyone has a strong opinion - its probably not working or you didnt get support prior
