To our friends and clients -
· Last month we mentioned the four P’s - Purpose, Passion, Pride and Persistence. As an observer of success, we often wonder what makes a company, team, individual or organization “tick”. One thing we know for sure - Passion generally exceeds technique.
The credit crisis is not over and while the economy is improving, banks in Texas are under pressure from regulators and their own internal loan review teams to purge their portfolios and stamp out problems immediately. What does that mean to you?
Great post Cole. My sentiments exactly. There were not any winners in that scenario, and while both sides made mistakes, it was the Administration that ultimately let the situation slip into a "lose-lose" situation. So, now that the dust has settled, will the Raider Nation get behind the program and Coach Tuberville? Time will tell. Of course, if there are a lot "W's" in the stat columns, it will happen sooner rather than later, but it will take a while for me to trust our administration again. That lack of trust already has caused me to not dig as deep in my pocketbook when asked to renew my annual pledge.
If Texas Tech Administrators and the powerful alumni that influence them truly want to have a quality program that can be competitive on a regional and national level with the UT's of the world, they'll have to leave that parochial West Texas attitude in the dust. That's not likely to happen anytime soon. That kind of thinking is part of the fabric of Lubbock and the Tech community.... permeating it like a West Texas sand storm.
Even an Aggie didn't enjoy watching that train wreck - not good for the program, conf or state - u had the best tweets - objective & fair
Great observation Cole. As a CPA and having served as a CFO in several businesses, understanding where your cash flow is critical and too often overlooked. Companies need to keep an eye on immediate needs, and develop the ability to forecast for the near future.
