JSP Visual Week In Review | 12.01.12
Ho ho, hi ho, here we go with December.
This is a little odd. I’m to be doing a visual recap of my week…and I really didn’t shoot to much these past seven days.
Not sure why. This past weekend was kind of a blurr, mainly focused on the business of business.
Ever see that AMC show The Pitch? I lived that last Monday, though I was the one being pitched to.
Except there’s elements to that show that they don’t show that I still had to deal with. How people get offended when they are asked to pitch, rather than just get the job by default. How, even when deciding on who to go with, there’s still the contractual talk and how Prodcurment’s job is to alway try to save some more. How I ask the client want to hear “Yes, we can get it done” not “Well, we can do it, but it’ll be tough with that timeline.” Yes, I know that already. Think I want to see this project not succeed?
On top of that, a good friend and intelligent thinker left my staff this week. Never want to see someone you like and respect leave, especially if it’s because they were unhappy.
All this re-taught me one very important piece of business advice: It IS just business. It’s not personal.
December awaits.
