Reading, acting and the art of not doing anything

I am tired of well read people who say the most politically correct, business centric & sensible sounding things and voila have no individual thought nor drive of their own.  I have to constantly guard myself against this as well – it is easy to fall into the trap of just generally saying the ‘right’ things because that is what the ‘industry’, ‘peers’ or everyone else needs.  Some how a lot of people just fall into the trap of knowing ‘everything’ and doing ‘nothing’.

One of the joys of doing business for me is that I can question those behaviors and rules.  The challenge is to ensure that the company does not have people who just make all the right noises, but people who also step up and push themselves forward to find more answers. I consider it my challenge to build such a company.

    Well said Allwin !
    But see, every company has two kind of people. those who make noise and do nothing and those who do work silently and dont make much noise.

    So while running a company, if you hired the ones who keep making noise, how ll you handle those ?
