I know that several of you have turned our November/December Value Your Month to Value Your Life value pairing of âIke loa (the value of learning) and Haâahaâa (the value of humility) into a triplet in November, adding Mahalo (the value of thankfulness) to the mix⌠go for it!

Letâs continue the conversation on âBalance 2014â shall we? Rules of Engagement are a way to move toward âNext 2014â with a clean slate.
There is a "Engagement Continuum" within that sweet spot... read our coaching on ManagingWithAloha.com today.
â⌠because when you do, the 2nd priority you give to me is better.â
My plan for Managing with Aloha in August. Join me!
On the advice he gave to an entrepreneurship class at Carnegie Mellon, where
I tried to skip the standard fare, "Fail fast!," but still focus on some fundamental truths that have been important to getting me this far (and that I wish I'd understood from the start)
...#1. Surround yourself with interesting people. Without this step, I wouldn't even be here.
...#2. Focus on the right things. My advice on advice: trust but verify.
...#3. Be useful. It's just a bit of personal philosophy behind why you would work so hard as an entrepreneur.
I heartily agree with number 1 and number 3, for there is a ton of mileage in both of them. I'd replace number 2 with Be true to your values, for it's never too soon to learn that lesson, and it actually is the way to focus on the right things!
My Monday recharging on this glorious day in May:
When I meet Alakaâi Managers (managers who are the Great Ones), and am able to visit their workplaces, I consistently see the Sense of Place commonality they share as culture-builders. I will feel it in my surroundings, for while sound and solidly built, their place pulses with its deeply veined character and vibrant energies.
Alakaâi Managers know that this is what every single workplace represents: The wonderful opportunity to create a special place...

Keld Jensen, with info we can add to our learning within Palena 'ole (Key Concept 9 in MWA):
Nobel Prize winning Israeli-American psychologist, Daniel Kahneman, found that people would rather do business with a person they like and trust rather than someone they donât, even if the likeable person is offering a lower quality product or service at a higher price.
No surprise there... so what to do?
With this in mind, instead of exclusively focusing on your conventional intelligence quotient, you should make an investment in strengthening your EQ (Emotional Intelligence), MQ (Moral Intelligence), and BQ (Body Intelligence). These concepts may be elusive and difficult to measure, but their significance is far greater than IQ.
MQ, or Moral Intelligence, strikes me as a good 2-word description of our values-based management at Managing with Aloha, for Jensen describes it as dealing with our integrity, responsibility, compassion, and forgiveness.
After reading this article, I enjoyed learning more about what author Keld Jensen does. He seems to have found a niche in negotiations, and his communications approach is rooted in some strong values: Can you pick them out? [Related posting at Managing with Aloha: Values in the Drivers Seat]
Another from Keld Jensen for Forbes: Rebuilding Trust: It All Starts With You
...the single most powerful way to build trust is to show a willingness to trust others. This does not mean being naĂŻve, weak, or overly susceptible to people driven by greed. It does mean being open to taking calculated risks with coworkers, employees, and in relationships that are in the earliest stages of development. The fact is, trust will always be based on a certain willingness to take risksâand you canât win if you donât play the game.
More value-verbing and MWA value-mapping for you: We're moving on to piloting projects.
I've come to love April and May for these efforts; it seems like providence conspires with us so perfectly.
Learning from the news:
This was the big news of the tech world yesterday: âFacebook acquires Instagram in $1 billion deal.â â USA Today
Here's my take on it: Acquisitions and mergers fascinate me in two ways (and I do think separating these considerations gives us a useful study within our learning about business) ...
