Every manager in the corporate world has a wishlist of projects that have been relegated to the back burner. There are research questions that should get answered, product concepts that should get explored, and processes that should be made more efficient. Yet resources are scarce and there is constant pressure to keep costs in line. Ultimately, those projects that aren’t exciting get deprioritized, regardless of the potential value they could add. It’s a common complaint I hear.

True Leaders Inspire Freedom. A baby elephant was tied to a pole at the zoo. For years she tried to break free tugging at the pole by the rope tied around her neck. She tried and tried and could never break free. Many years later, she grew to be a very big and powerful elephant. She was still tied to the same pole.

I created dozens of cheat sheets during my high school and college career. Don’t worry; I didn’t use them to cheat on the test. I found that the exercise of creating a crib card helped me review the relevant material and organize my thoughts, so when it was time for the exam, I was well prepared to do well without resorting to fraud. Anything that I would want to put on the sheet was something that I should fully understand.
