It Only Takes A Few Words
Sometimes it only takes a few words to get the job done. For example, David Zinger over at Slacker Manager requested what he calls 6 word management stories.
The results, of which he’s published 52, are amazing. Take these three for instance:
- First, take care of your people.
- I trust you, make it happen.
- Once knew all. Now know better.
Aren’t those lovely? There’s some real writing here.
Write well and often,

There is something so powerful in the 6 word statement. I also loved the last one: Once knew all, now know better.

Yes, they remind me in a way of a Zen koan… sorta
