Simplicity
Kennesaw – A quick shout out to my friend, Butch Adams, who gave me some great insight on simplicity last week. When I started work at GE in Cincinnati, there was a sign over the door that simply said,
“Speed, Simplicity, Self-confidence”.

Our environment today benefits those who can quickly act, react and be decisive. Not only in business but in most areas of our lives. Take a minute and click on the link above and read the Harvard Business Review article with Jack Welch, former CEO of GE and see why he was such a visionary leader. Oh, and by way, this concept is not exactly a new one. Leonardo da Vinci who died in 1519, penned, “Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication”. It’s truer now than ever.
