Observations

It's a good idea from time to time to stop and observe the flow around you. Pick up on the details that you would have normally missed. Pick up on the details that others have missed. Don't be ashamed to go back and adjust for the misses. In the long run your system will be more robust than others and your customers will thank and reward you.

Innovation

Innovation is the key to success. Whether it be in your individual career or the goal of a major company. If you don't continue to reinvent yourself how will you ever sift through the waste and find that golden opportunity that will help you to (temporarily) satisfy your dreams!

Interesting Day

It makes for an interesting day when you have to problem solve your problem solving equipment. Times like these highlight the various degrees of tolerance in your team. As a leader it's important to put the positive spin while at the same time embrace the frustration - accept it, digest it, and move forward.
