    NYE at the marina. I slept like a log. When you are at anchor every little noise wakes you in expectation that something has changed and you are now drifting towards Niagara Falls. In a berth securely tied on three sides I call those little sounds Marina Music and they put me to sleep. But we were into the new year early as there was to be a coordinated arrival of our kids, Nelson from Hong Kong (via Sydney) and Paris from Sydney (via Byron Bay) and friends, Phil and Maryann from Brisbane who were joining us for a day sail. Thinking of all this is when I put the unleaded petrol into the…

    After our first night of successful anchoring and fighting off mossies the tide was with us again and I was keen to get away. Only one thing stopped me - a full bowel. When you go cruising stuff like this can ruin your day. Now the planning for this inevitable moment had been intense yet the solution was still not great. South Moreton Bay has been declared a national park and a NIL Discharge area for untreated sewage of any kind. Boats are required to either fit holding tanks for later pump-out or fit onboard sewage treatment systems. Both are expensive and overkill for this small, mainly…

    These next few posts are a diversion from the usual banality of business but will recount a successful project of going on a summer cruise of Moreton Bay in a Beneteau First 27.7. A vessel I describe as a small yacht or a large boat. The boat my partner Annabel and I bought in September was simply fitted, as it was designed, as a cruiser/racer with more emphasis on the racer. Which is how I like it but we also wanted to get some local coastal cruising value out of it but certainly no crossing oceans stuff. We named her Nemeau. The cruise dates were set by available work holidays that…

No work, no visitors, no sailing , no patting the sheep each time they pass by and no Facebook. Not too much coffee ( false stimulant), plenty of food (thanks Annabel) and sleep and continuous music. Yep I love to write to music. The more abstract the better. So lots of jazz and funk but also dance and hip hop which can get the writing trance going and get the brain mildly stimulated.

  • Blame it on Accountability

    Daniel Rose
    5 Jan 2012 | 4:44 am
    Accountability is a funny word. It’s often taken to be a negative. For example, an employee might be held accountable for their failure to meet a deadline. In reality, it’s one of the most beneficial words people in businesses can use.You see, accountability isn’t about blame. It’s about establishing clear boundaries around results, and in the process defining who is responsible for the delivery of those results. When accountability becomes a synonym for blame, the organisation changes from one with a culture of learning from mistakes to one with a culture of defensiveness and blame…

    Sometimes I think everything I need to know is contained in children’s movies. In his infinite wisdom, Cheshire Cat demonstrates one of the great aspects of any team of any size — a mission. Without one, where would we be?Consider a team of ten professionals, all high performers, more than capable in their positions. Despite that, the team doesn’t perform. Why? Quite simply, there is no mission. No overarching purpose. It’s a bit like getting into a limousine with a race car driver and not knowing where you want to go.

  • Designing Organisations — People or Tasks?

    Daniel Rose
    24 Nov 2011 | 4:44 am
    An idea that comes up quite often in job analysis is that you should structure your organisation around the work that needs to be performed, rather than the people you have. On the surface, that’s a sound idea. You never know when you’ll end up with a vacancy, and you want that vacancy filled with the right person, doing the right work. Some people also think it helps to distinguish what needs to be done from what’s actually getting done now.Is it really that simple though? From the start, the idea of designing work and structures without reference to your people is crazy. Treating…

    In the past month or so, Coca-Cola began their “Share a Coke” campaign in Australia. Basically, they’ve changed the packaging on their flagship product to feature a different name on each bottle.When I first saw this, I thought it was perhaps the most ridiculous gimmick this year. But, look at the buzz it’s generated. Across Facebook, Twitter and any other social media, people are posting pictures of themselves with Coke bottles. Every time somebody does so, they’re pushing the Coke brand, and it costs almost nothing! Each impression improves brand recall, and quite frankly I’ve…

I don’t believe he was anywhere close to seeing clearly, but that didn’t stop him from turning onto a busy thoroughfare.
