I recently read an insightful piece in a newsletter about Tom Brady's mindset. Many see him as being obsessed with winning, but it turns out he's focused on something more profound: incremental improvement. Brady is obsessed with being a little bit better every day. Enhancing the accuracy of his throws, speeding up his passes, improving his decision-making, and leading more effectively—small daily improvements that have compounded to make him a 7-time Super Bowl Champion. This perspective made me reflect on how an obsession with winning might delay progress. Instead, consistently aiming for incremental improvements can lead to extraordinary achievements. Embrace the journey of getting a little bit better every day. #ContinuousImprovement #GrowthMindset #Leadership

I saw a very interesting AI generated meme this morning. This is NOT a political critique. Let me repeat, this is NOT a political critique. It's just a warning that when using AI, you have to give it very explicit instructions. It can be very literal. I wonder if the original poster realized cars are heading towards eachother on the left of the picture? #proofread #editinstructions

I've always maintained Americans are not near as divided as the "news agencies" and politicians are spewing. Let's not let the 10% on the fringes upset us. I like what Builders is doing. https://lnkd.in/gEXFhfeg

It's pretty common to come across people's LinkedIn profiles and see the first position ("xyz year to Present") is their side gig; something they do for fun, or self actualization, or to blow off steam, or to get their mind off their full time job. If you want to be noticed for your full time skills, probably best to make sure that's the FIRST entry. If you want to be noticed for your prowess in vitamin supplements, dog grooming, photography, career coaching, palm reading, etc., keep it the same.

If you've ever winter camped, or your parents convinced you that old bread bags will keep your feet warm, you'll enjoy this short story. And yes, I still have the sleeping bag! https://bit.ly/4iaeEQX

Just as construction firms want to know how a candidate has increased profits or decreased a process/expense at previous employers, the best candidates want to know why they should take their expertise elsewhere.

I was asked by a marketing firm what I thought construction firms need to show they excel at in order to attract the best candidates. I suggested, as a start - quality of work, safety practices, client relationships, cost management, skilled workforce, technology /innovation, compliance/risk management, and sustainability. As a construction recruiter, these are a few of the the issues I suggest my clients to be able to prove. They make it more plausible for us to go into the market and attract passive candidates for them.

My reasons for lauding the Supreme Court’s wanting to ban TikTok are twofold. 1.?Let’s clamp down on foreign government’s ability to learn from our data and manipulate things. 2. TikTok (and much of social media) is a contributing factor to why these two words were chosen as Word of the Year: *Oxford University Press’ Word of the Year: Brain Rot *Merriam-Webster’s Word of the Year: Polarization #gooutandplay #stopcomparing #theworlddoesnotrevolvearoundyou #lotsofthingshappenedbeforeyouwereborn

Had an interesting conversation with a candidate yesterday evening in which we discussed what they were looking for, what they'd accomplished and how they felt they could benefit any number of companies. Super impressed with their accomplishments and asked what made them transition from a particular company (Company A) after less than 2 years. The answer was simple enough. They were contacted by a company and decided to hear them out. The interview went very well and was told by the COO of company B that an offer would be tendered within 24 hours. They were released the very next day. Someone at Company B had called Company A and told them about the interview. So both companies lost out. Because of the mistrust, the candidate ended up declining the offer from Company B. The good news is they were placed with another company within 2 weeks.
