A friend is


(A poem for my son)

A good friend is a person
Who never pushes you around

He likes it when you're happy
And wondered why you're sad

He shares his thoughts
Even if you don't like it
Because he wants you to know
That even a friendly sun melts the snow

He's there on your climb
And never leaves when you fall
A friend is ever so kind
Even if you're short and he's always as tall.

 Saya sedang menelaah buku THE NO RULES RULES. Ini kisah bagaimana NETFLIX mengubah tradisi innovasi. Ditulis bersama oleh CEOnya Reed Hastings dan profesor pengurusan Erin Meyer (yang juga penulis buku The Culture Map). Ya, ini buku tentang pengurusan. Dipendekkan cerita, pendekatan Netflix ini bukan untuk semua orang. Bukan senang-senang saja kita boleh tiru dan  terus indeks kegembiraan pekerja naik ke tangga nombor satu (Netflix tangga kedua daripada beribu yang lain, lebih hebat daripada Google dan Apple.) Ada tiga prinsip utama perlu ada sebelum pengurusan memulakan polisi cuti tanpa had (tiada polisi), pekerja beli aset tanpa perlu tandatangan boss, atau junior exec boleh naik kapalterbang kelas perniagaan tanpa perlu minta kebenaran Jabatan Akaun. Satu: Mereka yang diambil bekerja mestilah golongan high-performers. Bukan cukup-cukup bagus atau sederhana bagus, tapi terbagus. Dua: Ada budaya berterus terang dalam organisasi (candour. US: candor) (dalam k...
