18th May, 2007: Life in the Tea Lane
Never ceases to amaze me how many hats I have to wear in this company-it is very fun, very exciting but it sometimes makes me laugh how many directions I go in one day!
It is very easy to get caught up in “brush fires” all day and I concentrate very hard on ensuring that I make time for longer term thinking and longer term projects. If you were to ask me, I would say I use a 40-60 rule. Not sure that is the right split for my position, but I would say I spend about 40% of my time on strategic moves and 60% on the immediate situations at hand.
It is not uncommon to hear me laughing through the halls as I scurry by on my way to the next meeting-I cannot help but be amused at the pace I often have to keep.
My parents were absolutely fantastic at turning the company over to me and my sister to run it, and when I am in my full out sprint through the building, I can see the wisdom in their decision for more than one reason. In today’s environment, you really have to be on the go all of the time….well time to head off to my next meeting…got to go!
