I try to look at things from multiple angles. Having said that, I tend to look beyond the “multi-billion” dollar label. There are quite a few multi-billion dollar industries that I want no part of.

It reminds me of my own (4) rules for delivering bad news. 1. No surprises, no bushwhacking allowed. "Please meet me in my office at 2:00, to discuss your results on the ABC Project." No surprises. 2. Revisit the deal. There was always a deal, but sometimes the elements of the deal were forgotten. 3. Describe specifically, what you, as a manager, observed. Without judgment. 4. Listen. Hi, Marcus,

]]> Comment on The Audacity of Hope by Devin-Weiss http://www.marcusasmith.com/2009/05/07/the-audacity-of-hope/comment-page-1/#comment-4324 Devin-Weiss Sat, 20 Mar 2010 10:39:04 +0000 http://www.marcusasmith.com/2009/05/07/the-audacity-of-hope/#comment-4324 Barack Obama's book, "The Audacity of Hope," contains a appealing title. It has a taste of bravery mixed with confidence. There's nothing Pollyanna regarding this. I will most likely not support every part he says, but he's our president, as well as for me, he creates belief. Which can do more for a region than any amount of backroom deals. Hope gives us energy, and energy sustains us through trying times. Boy, we've had them. I'm from West Texas, and I did not vote for Bush. When McCain ran against Obama, I used to be a citizen of Arizona, but I gave audacious hope a chance. The fight for progress and laying the foundations of prosperity will not be over. I've come across the quips of those who don't think Obama is capable of it. But step back a second. Would anyone have all of us fail just to tarnish the star of an incumbent for whom they did not vote? Attempting to keep our priorities straight, let's work together with this president and build our future. Barack Obama’s book, “The Audacity of Hope,” contains a appealing title.
