Politeness vs. Kindness â Important Distinction
Please read this a few times -- quoting Adam Grant this week âWith Thanksgiving approaching in the U.S., it's worth remembering that politeness is not the same as kindness. Being polite is saying what makes people feel good today. Being kind is doing what helps people get better tomorrow. In polite cultures, people bite their tongues on disagreement and criticism. In kind cultures, people speak their minds respectfully.
Bill Gatesâ Top 5 Books
Notes Bill in his blog: âMy holiday reading list this year includes two terrific science fiction stories. One takes place nearly 12 light-years away from our sun, and the other is set right here in the United Statesâbut both made me think about how people can use technology to respond to challenges. Iâve also included a pair of non-fiction books about cutting-edge science and a novel that made me look at one of historyâs most famous figures in a new light.â
Hourly Workers Millionaires
From Forbes this week: âFood maker Chobani has filed to go public, an event that could lead some of its hourly workers to make $1 million or more in stock awardsâan uncommon outcome in an industry rarely lauded for its treatment of employees.â This is the new competition for workers â and why Iâm pushing industries to rollup and go public via SPACs. We need this equity arrow in our quiver of compensation tools â something weâve added to our Scaling Up Master Class teachings.
Week of Giving Thanks
Itâs a short week in the US with my favorite holiday of the year â Thanksgiving. This is the week we prepare our list of top influencers (150), gather updated mailing addresses, and choose our annual gift â this year the famous Tom Cruise Bundt Cake. I added his example to my presentation on the topic this year and through this would be a great way to reinforce the importance of every firm making a list, checking it twice, and rewarding those that have been nice to you!

Planning to Exit?
Itâs the most critical decision a business owner will make in their lifetime â and over my 40 years of helping firms Iâve seen owners taken advantage of time and time again â leaving tens of millions on the table. Youâre up against sophisticated buyers who have done hundreds of acquisitions â whereas this is often your first rodeo. And these buyers have a formula for ripping you off â and it works. Seeking help, owners find the big M&A firms, especially those specializing in your industry, are more beholden to the buyers than the sellers (they will tell you otherwise). They are not your friend in the process, just another transaction. Email me to get a white paper on what to avoid when exiting verne@scalingup.com.
