"That is what I want you to be afraid of: waking up in six days or six weeks or six years or sixty years and being no closer to your goal. You have made no progress. That is the horror. That is the nightmare. That is what you really need to be afraid of." @jockowillink

Centralized control doesn’t work on the battlefield, in business, or in government.
Quote Tweet
Government making a Dairy Farm in Southern Ontario dump 30,000 litres of milk because they have gone over quota. Can’t donate it to a food bank, or to a hospital, or to a homeless shelter. Right down the drain so we can pay $7 per litre for milk.

When my manager or leader comes at me and says, “You did this,” I reply, “Yes, I did. It is my fault. This is what I am going to do to fix it…”

@jockowillink Is there a difference between taking ownership and accepting blame? Some managers/leaders come at you with "You did this." vs. "Here's what happened, how do we get better?"

DISCIPLINE EQUALS FREEDOM.

“Taking a break is the one thing I put off until tomorrow. And if – when tomorrow comes – you still feel like you need rest or you need a break – then go ahead: Take it. Chances are you won’t – you won’t need that rest." -@jockowillink, Discipline Equals Freedom

@jockowillink Proud Mama of 2 Warrior Kids here. My oldest decided he wants to run laps at recess to get a workout, since super early mornings doesn’t quite work. Today, he proudly told me his friends joined him & this will be their regular workout they do together. ☺️
