Morning Discussion

The hockey season started for my Toronto Maple Leafs yesterday and while it wasn't a perfect game, it was a solid outing from a young club. (They beat Montreal 3-2). I'm still not used to the Leafs being young. I remember a time where the team's idea of getting better was to add aged superstars who couldn't produce the same numbers that made them famous.

I was listening to the radio before the game and a few Leafs fans were talking about how they think this is Toronto's year. Let's not go crazy. I certainly love the club--heck, I even used to work for the organization but more on that another time--but I know it will be at least a few years before the Leafs can make a legitimate run at the Cup.

How many years until they win? Well, it's been over 40 years since the last time. Let's just hope it's in my lifetime.

    Does anyone know of some decent Podcasts or even Blogs etc that pass on Wisdom about life / work etc? The only thing I currently listen to is Manager-Tools.

    Any suggestions o'wise Shackers?

        Yeah they taught me a lot through the years. My last company I worked at Manager Tools taught me how to build a team and what I needed to do to lead it properly. When I left the company (for another position) we had the highest stats out of any dept in the company.

        I miss that team, I wish the company would have paid me a salary I could actually live off of tho.. lol.
