Decided to move out of Europe. Had a ball of a time in 3.5 yrs at Cypress in Europe. I will cherish the field experience; should give me enough perspective moving back into a BU role in US. Many top class sales guys in difficult environment...gave a good accelerated learning experience.
Summarizing some of my thoughts' from the time spent here; tried to make them as generic as possible.. here goes-
- The most popular software for writing fiction is not Word. It's Excel. Amen.
- Constant fight as it is.... Beware of lollipop of mediocrity... Lick it once and you suck forever....
- Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that can be counted, counts (this one is taken from something written on a purchasers' desk :-)
- It’s better to be approximately right than to be precisely wrong.. False precision is totally crazy... It only happens to people with high IQs.. (mostly)..
- If something looks irrational.. and has been so for a long time... odds are you have a wrong definition of rationality.
- Limitation of our Appraisal, CSFs System - People do extraordinary things at work only when they want to, not when they are forced to.
There are more, but these were some generic sounding themes I had noted in my diary.
Ciao till next time...Harsha
