You’re clear on your One Thing. You feel there’s some traction in your leadership team, yet something seems amiss in your weekly meeting rhythm meetings. The meetings are sedate, absent excitement, conflict and drama that you feel might exemplify a team grinding together to get things done. Is this good or bad?

Last week I received a comment on my Pearson’s Law blog from Tomas, “Sounds simple yet very effective in any area where you want improvement. I've been implementing this law for the last year and a half in many ways and I can say it works exceptionally well. Performance accelerates every time.”

Yesterday started with good news as I got my blood work done at St Luke’s Physician Clinic in Cedar Rapids, the numbers all came back well above the point where I need a transfusion. Then Dr. Hosne Begum stopped in to say, “You’re Amazing!” And then added, “And your wife is more amazing!” I’d handled the fever well and despite being diagnosed with pneumonia through a CAT scan I still feel very good.

Friday on my return from a meeting with the bone marrow transplant program and my transplant doctor (Dr Silverman) I had time to consider commitment as my wife and I drove back to Cedar Rapids from the University of Iowa. The numbers given us about bone marrow transplant weren’t particularly encouraging. Only about 15% of bone marrow transplant patients make it beyond a couple of years and get into complete remission of their cancer. Appalling! You thought the numbers are disappointing for people lying on their resumes.

If you’ve spent any time hiring and recruiting then you know that when you get a lot of candidates to sift through, disqualifying them can be a big time investment headache. Candidates that lie on their resume have reached appalling numbers, with even the top chap at Yahoo willing to deceive.

Are you up for another lesson from my bout with Leukemia? This past weekend was challenging. From Saturday morning when I got up it felt I was in a state of inertia. There are days that I gravitate to that; however they are marked for vacations. Intended inertia of a sort.
