Yesterday I was invited to hear Dr. Stephen R. Covey talk at Gyldendal Business. Apparently I am one of the few who haven’t read his bestselling book “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People”, which have sold 15 million copies worldwide. Besides Dr. Covey, Nina Kenny, Director of Leadership, FranklinCovey Nordic Approch and Lea Hamburger, HR-director at AP Pension talked about how they have integrated with the AP Pension organisation. It was very interesting to hear about their work, and how it is another way to find the culture in their organisation. They learned that it’s not about an “I” culture, they had a “We” culture in AP Pension. They now have a common language and reference point in their every day work life. I think this could be a way, to work with an organisations authenticity inside the organisation. Any experience out there? But I first have to read the book.

Dr. Stephen R. Covey talked a lot about how we can improve our life with the seven habits. My first thought was that these habits was very old, and properly was out of date. But I don’t think they are. As I see it, we face more changes and difficult challengers in our every day life. We now need more habits like Dr. Coveys. As he said, these habits aren’t his idea. They are built on universal principles and are according to him timeless.
What I learned from hearing him was to think about my priorities in my life. I need to do the things I like and the things, which inspire me. In my work here at Stagis it’s important to learn how to priorities my different assignments. The important things comes first, and not always the urgent things. I hope this will help my work, and as a bonus will help me in my work with co-workers and all of our clients.

How do you priorities your work, and do you feel it affect your everyday life?

Not to long ago I saw the coolest commercial I have ever seen. I think the pictures are perfect, the timing is perfect, the music is perfect, but… Yes of course there has to be a but.

Despised how cool I thought this commercial was, and how often I told my friends about it, I could never remember who and what the commercial was advertising for, and that’s a shame. And I still can’t remember the name of the company if you ask me now, but after I have seen it again and again, I now know what the product is.

Is this commercial then a complete waste of money? I don’t think so, if it is part of a plan to show that this is a company, which is willing to take a chance, and doesn’t want to do it like every body else. And the point isn’t to sell a lot more of the product. If this is characteristic for them, then the commercial is very good. If it is not, then it has nothing to do with the company’s authenticity, and is just a cool commercial, which overshadows what it is advertising for.

What do you think? Is it possible for a commercial to be to good, or is it just me who isn’t affected so easily by this commercial? And is it possible to tell anything about a company through a commercial like this, which is so fare from the product?

If you remember what the commercial was advertising for then say so.
