Jim Barksdale’s 3 Rules of Business
Jim Barksdale of Netscape fame offers us these management nuggets:
* The first rule is, if you see a snake, don’t call committees, don’t call your buddies, don’t get a meeting together; just kill the snake.
* The second rule is, don’t go back and play with dead snakes. We haven’t got time to go back and revisit decisions.
* The third rule is, all opportunities start out looking like snakes. So look at problems as opportunities.
