The Plusses of Subtraction

Here’s something we all should hear, especially in a world where we’re increasingly bombarded with… more, more, more.

When Jim Collins, the Stanford teacher, researcher, and author of best-selling business books including “Good To Great” and “Built To Last,” was in his mid-20s, a fellow teacher and friend told him, “Your genetic energy level enables your lack of discipline. Instead of leading a disciplined life, you lead a busy life.” I’d guess many of us relate. In Jim’s case, the comment impacted his life.

Here’s a short video on that story, the benefits of saying “no,” and a means of identifying what to say “no” to!

TOM is a hands-on technology executive who helps large organizations act more nimbly in the market and small companies scale. Leading marketing and business development, he has launched numerous technology products and led cross-functional teams – including participating in two technology revolutions – less invasive medical devices and the Internet/software. Tom has been a part of some remarkable technology and business growth success stories (as well as some misfires). Building submarines out of 55-gallon drums in grade school, he eventually fulfilled a childhood dream of living aboard a research ship (Jacques Cousteau was on the Board of Directors) and tending to the mini-sub. Tom has also wrestled in the Olympic Trials, founded a consumer electronic company, and worked for leading companies to help launch and lead: medical device products, software, SaaS, Internet companies, professional consulting services, and 25 ton hovercraft built entirely from composite materials. This broad background has resulted in two unique characteristics - the depth of skill that allows Tom to contribute to the technical, business and creative process; and the disposition for collaboration across disciplines. He's an enthusiastic and collaborative team player who maintains a good sense of humor.
