I have a friend who shows up late every day. But when shows, he knows what everybody on his team needs to be doing. He has connections all over his organization, so he knows who to call to get things done. He was replaced by a guy who shows on time every day, but he is totally lost.

I am a strict 9 a 5 guy. I believe in sustainable projects. Wisely choose your priorities, make progress every day, and your projects will be successful in the near term as well as in the long term.
