The omerisms podcast

Stability is a pipe dream. We long for it and yearn for things to be normal, for things not to change.

The reality is that life doesn't quite work that way. The fact of the matter is, as I discuss in today's episode, that we're always in transition. Accept that idea and we're liberated.

I've found that when I focus on the idea of the work I'm doing - as opposed to the work itself - I don't quite deliver as well as I could.

I get too caught up in the external, on the trappings than on the content. The key, as I discuss in today's episode, is to let that go and focus instead on the content itself. That's what matters.

There's an allure to the grand strategy, the flourish and ambition behind the work we do. We love the exciting, glamorous and sexy parts, because that gets noticed.

And while those aspects of our work are indeed important, of far more importance is the more detailed, granular executional work, as I discuss in today's episode.

The idea of balance - and its importance - is discussed by all and sundry as being key to a healthy life. And it is - in the long term.

But in the short term? Balance doesn't move you forward, and it doesn't help you achieve greatness, as I discuss in today's podcast.

Judging someone's character is a difficult thing to do. A one-off incident or action shouldn't be taken out of context (with a few exceptions) and presumed to represent the entirety of who someone is.

But patterns are different. If the behavior is repeated, if it's recurring, it tells you something. Patterns matter.

The success of whatever we do depends, without question, on our people. It's a cliche but it's true.

So it's important when formulating our teams, to make sure we have the the right "ingredients" in place - not only technically but philosophically. The wrong ingredients will ruin the entire dish, which is the topic of today's episode.

We throw around the word "partnership" pretty loosely. And often, when we do, we're sincere about it. But it's easy to talk about partnerships when there's nothing at stake.

You really find out whether you have a real partnership (or not) when problems arise. And in those moments, there's one trait that matters above all else, as I discuss in today's episode.

One of the biggest issues with high performance in any team is when folks aren't aligned. This division is a problem not only professionally but at a personal level as well. Resolving any division within a team needs to be priority number one, as I discuss in today's episode.

When it comes to strategy and growth in an organization, of any size, the ability to create compelling, well thought-out plan is not the issue. Those are easy enough to pull together.

No, the key is always people. Who's involved, how committed are they and how we bring them along. How we do this is the focus of today's episode.

It's always struck me as odd that anyone would choose - over the long term - to do work that meant little or nothing to them.

I get that can be the case in the short term, but in the long term, what we do for a living matters, as I discuss in today's episode. Make it count.
