Lessons from the Big Apple |

Adam Lashinsky recently wrote an article in Fortune entitled “Inside Apple” that gives some insight into this company’s little-known-about culture.
Lashinsky writes that part of "Applespeak" is the term "D.R.I." - Directly Responsible Individual. This is a seemingly simple idea with big consequences for an organization.
After all, with DRI’s there is never confusion within the organization as to who has the authority and responsibility to manage a project through to completion. There are no hot potatoes. There is no passing the buck.
Who are the "D.R.I.'s" in your organization? What are your D.R.I. projects?
If you're not immediately sure, that's a conversation worth having.
When you have authority, you are responsible for your results. Period.
Quote of the week:
"Be a yardstick of quality. Some people aren't used to an environment where excellence is expected."
-Steve Jobs
