Lighter thoughts in honour of the holiday weekend.
Three of us went out golfing yesterday in the beauty of Muskoka. Interesting juxtaposition to be with a Rogers executive, wearing a Bell golf cap walking through the doors at the clubhouse with the logo of the TELUS Skins match as we were discussing what the future would hold for all of these companies and others.
Summertime is a great time to just put up your feet and wonder. I think that too little time is spent on that kind of work activity. Too easy for people to call it ‘goofing off’.
I’d argue that for executives, it is important activity that is needed in order to compete.
And besides – it’s a nice thing to do when it is sunny and warm (but not hot) and the ball gets an extra 30 yards on a lucky bounce off the granite protruding in the middle of the fairway.
