Radar O’Reilly’s ability to anticipate was remarkable. How did Radar keep magic alive in so many arenas? I sense he frequently asked, Where to from here?
As the crowd, gathered at his battlefield musical extravaganza, clapped a final round of applause, Radar no doubt anticipated what he might do next time for an even better production. Do you reflect and ask, Where to from here? to bring more quality as you take on new projects?
People who anticipate really make a difference. People spot them easily since Radar reflective qualities are readily recognizable.
For instance, Blake Gottesman, President Bush’s personal aid spends more waking hours with the president than most other people and “almost no one is better, senior aides say, at anticipating his next move.”
Ira Wolfe asks in Business2Business, "Where are you Radar?" With so much going amuk in today's business world Wolfe suggests we need "more Radar's who can anticipate Col. Blakes' needs even before he realizes them."
Peter Davidson, marketing guru, suggests three proverbs for entrepreneurs based on inspiration from Radar O'Reilly.
- Cool ideas are useless without great needs –
- Build the simplest thing possible –
- Test everything with real people –
Radar gives us much to consider – What are you anticipating for your workplace? What do you see ahead?
