November 6, 2009 – Business Solutions
During his keynote on Friday, Nov. 6, Verne Harnish, author and business consultant, managed to pack so much information into an hour and half that I can’t possibly share it all. What I can share with you is a couple tips from Harnish.
1. Everyone needs a coach (or to read a lot of books) to continue the learning curve well past the point where you think you know it all. Harnish used examples from Bill Gates, who to this day devotes a full week a couple times a year to consuming books, papers, trade mags, all those resources in that pile on your side desk (you know you have one). The goal, to learn. Harnish stresses that no one every achieved peak performance without a coach, and IT business owners are no different. Now maybe your “coach” is a book, or a vendor partner, or a hired business coach or peer-to-peer group, but get one. Read story.
