Pardon Our Dust
The Contented Cow Blog will be taking a week off, starting today, January 13, 2008, while our intrepid blogmistress, Tia Graham, insitutes a redesign of the blog. The blog will be available - but we won’t be making any posts.
One point we hammer home in our books, and in keynote speeches and leadership training is that people’s work must matter. If we ever get the impression that perhaps it doesn’t matter, we can’t possibly put everything into it. If you give an employee a task, and he or she never sees how this task benefits a customer, directly or even indirectly, there’s no way the employee can give it everything they’ve got. No way. Imagine if your entire job is like that.
This is no different for us than for anyone else, and so, our blog is being redesigned with this in mind.
Don’t get us wrong, we enjoy blogging. It’s therapeutic. It helps us formulate our thoughts, test out ideas, and expand our community. But we’d really like to know who’s out there with us. As enjoyable as it might be, we’d probably do a better job of blogging if we had a better sense of who was actually reading our stuff, and deriving some benefit from it. The redesign will help with that.
To that end, we’d like to ask a favor. If you’re reading this, simply send me a quick email, to Richard@ContentedCows.com, and let me know you saw this. You don’t need to say anything else (although you’re more than welcome to). Or - you may use the comments feature of the blog. If you like, let us know what you’d like to see more of, how we can help your business, and what ideas you’ve seen on our blog that you’ve used.
Have a great week! We’ll be back on January 21.
