Get Out!!!!
Get out. Seriously, Get out! Get up from behind your desk and get out of your office.
This isn’t about taking a vacation or “management by walking around.” This isn’t about spending time on the shop floor, listening to your customers, or clocking the competition. Those are all important activities, but they’re not how the future is created. You have to go much further than that. If you want to do anything new in the marketplace, you’ve got to get as serious, rigorous, and creative about renewing yourself as any other aspect of your business. So, get out.
*Get Out Of Your Comfort Zone – discover something new
*Get Out Of Your Frame Of Reference – go somewhere you have never been or do something you have never done
*Get Out Of Your Own Skin – Risk discomfort, ask unanswerable questions, start over
