"...keeping you great" Ten Minutes with the Growth Guy
HEADLINES:
Do any of you run an effective monthly meeting involving your broader management team? I'm writing a monthly column on the importance of the monthly meeting vs. the weekly and daily and I could use some good case studies -- what you cover, who participates, the impact on the development of the management team and performance of the organization. Please email me at vharnish@gazelles.com -- thank you!
Critical new protocol for heart attack victims -- in case you didn't see this important cover story in Newsweek -- two things to remember: quickly chilling someone down to a 92 degree body temperature helps with all kinds of injury recoveries (only 200+ hospitals out of 5000 have the equipment -- find out if yours does); and more importantly, giving people pure oxygen for more than a few minutes actually makes people, whose brains were deprived of oxygen, (drowning, heart attack, stroke) crash within 24 hours -- they now know the mechanism why. Lesson, get people off oxygen quickly!! Read this article -- and I've confirmed that my own doctor has read it
Napoleon's surgeon general first noted -- infantrymen who recovered from battle injuries lying on the cold Russian ground recovered much better than officers lying next to the warm fire. Put this in your "life's little ironies" file! As the article said, could it really be this simple?
Pure oxygen is damaging? -- Who would have thought, but it makes sense once you look at the data. This is why we must continue to challenge "conventional" wisdom. If I'm not careful, I'll start into a rant about how conventional wisdom has hurt our educational and healthcare systems -- and why we're spending more and more and getting less and less -- but I'll save you the rants. In this case, the good guys are prevailing.
That's it -- the lazy days of summer (northern hemisphere) are catching up with me -- please take the time to read this one article -- hard to lead your company if you die.
