Management lessons

....from Jesus!

Driving around barns and open fields next to Lake Michigan, it's only natural to tune into that radio show where they discuss bible verses.

John 21:15-17 went so (in colloquial English) -

Jesus: Simon, do you love me?
Simon: I feel deep friendship for you
Jesus: Simon, do you love me?
Simon (somewhat annoyed): I feel deep friendship for you
Jesus: Simon, do you feel deep friendship for me?
Simon (relieved): yes

Knowledge gained: If your team resists an idea(cue: cross platform tablet app), back the fuck out. Let the thought stew and the response develop.

  1. Maybe Jesus wanted Simon to feel deep friendship for him all along? In that case, maybe this is a lesson in negotiation.. Always set the bar high, and go from there.
