Enduragement

Misspelled headline?

November 22, 2007 · 4 Comments

I love playing with words, especially in my native language. Finnish is perfect for verbal jokes. It bends, twists and stretches. So it is excellent source for lot of fun in a bar evenings for instance. But while using English, I’m in a shallow grounds. However, here is my explanation for the misspelled headline that is combined from business and sports.

To run businesses in long term focus, the managers need to understand long evolution of a complex business systems. Managers need systems thinking and especially a lot of patience – that’s psychical endurance. In addition, to succes in normal general management duties you need to be in a excellent physical shape. Without physical endurance you’ll soon lack the psychical too.

It would be just fun to manage these “long run” things and wait the millions to float in. Ad hoc, improvising, reacting, attacking, defending and making maneuvers is our daily task. When working passionately enough with something, you almost feel the taste of blood in the mouth like while running at maximum heart rate or pushing through meter thick concrete wall to win market share. A touch of rage in its positive meaning.

That enduragement is all about – Endurance, rage and management. Headline explained. I guess.

    Oh! That is funny. I’m quite new with this, so I’m not sure should I do something in the settings. There should at least two of them today. Thanks for following my slow blogging.

    Hey Suippette! You’re right, “Slow blogging” is the main stream in the bloggin culture. The biggest trend in the online world is No-blogging-at-all culture. However, I hope there is no any connection whatsoever between Slow blogging and Sloooow bloggers…
