The Dooley Group Leadership Counsel

Clients ..network members are asking….What’s everyone doing?….What’s best in you mind?… Should we have a policy?…or “rules?…….Common sense seems just fine to many executives ,but often allows for a broad range of responses in the full staff!….?!!

Likely some guidelines, plus certain acknowledged communication frameworks are needed in general. Likely a bit different in separate professions , or accepted cultures……..YES……likely common sense would seem best as organizations face these coming months of unexpected, perhaps extensive change….!!!!

I’m hearing more talk, from my long standing clients, about requests/inquiries, from their own broad set of internal clients,……… of what “certifications” are available…. or @ least “almost”………. Perhaps in the recent past, the questions were more like “who’s available?….who can I use?”…….. now with the perspective of “credentials” added.
Will that become more normal…. even an expectation???
What preparation is needed if so………
What kind of “Certification or Credentials” …… Project Management? Risk? System Security?, etc. There are actually many.
Exploration is required by most organizations…………..NOW….before expectations get developed !!!

I used to think anyone who was 6o years old , or more, was out of touch. So now I’m clearly well past that spot of my own ageing…and much more accepting of past limitations that I projected on others….BUT it took me most of this year to accept the current feeling that I’m just not the man I used to fantasize I was……Good!!!! We just celebrated our 35th Anniversary………on to many more birthdays and celebrations for both Barbara and I And hopefully for you too!!!

Barbara and I went out to dinner…a bit late [4/26/87] but special to us. and unusual to do these days.

Some people didn’t think we’d make it that long……..

Was nice. Our love is still very “fresh”. We’re a very lucky couple. Looking forward to our 40th, and more…!

Forever!
