THE PERSON YOU HAVE NOT MET YET

Mark’s Daily Thought – Ideas from Mark Fritz to help you Get Ahead, Stay Ahead and Be Successful

There’s a saying that we probably haven’t met yet the person who will make the biggest difference in our life.

BE AN IDEA PROMOTER

Wise words on using social tools in the enterprise

The Obvious?

The best way to control people is to encourage them to be mischievous. Then
they will be in control in its wider sense. To give your sheep or cow a large, spacious meadow is the way to control him. So it
is with people: first let them do what they want, and watch them. This is the best policy. To ignore them is not good; that is
the worst policy. The second worst is trying to control them. The best one is to watch them, just to watch them, without
trying to control them.
