Mi padre vive a 400 kilómetros. Cada domingo le llamo a las ocho: media hora hablando de nada, el tiempo, lo que ha comido, los niños. Un domingo se me pasó, entre baños y cenas, y le llamé el lunes. Me contestó sin un reproche y con una frase que no se me olvidará nunca...

How Elon Musk hired ex-Tesla president @jonmcneill is a story you shouldn't miss:
Tesla promised a sale of 12,000 cars. Six weeks in, they'd sold 3. Elon was staring at disaster.
Jon went undercover. He visited 8 Tesla stores, test drove cars using fake emails, and never got a callback.
He called sales ops and asked: "How many people test drove in the last 30 days and never got called back?"
Answer: 9,000.
Jon immediately ordered teams in Asia and Europe to start calling every single one back.
Sales exploded.
When he called Elon to apologize for overstepping, Elon cut him off:
"You've proven you can be useful. Why don't you just join?"
Don't ask for permission to lead. Find the bottleneck and fix it.
Results beat resumes. Every time.

Scalextric has today confirmed its involvement in the rollout of Guided Motorway Infrastructure across the UK.
Vehicles will follow fixed lanes using underbody guides, with drivers controlling speed through throttle input. The aim is to improve traffic flow, reduce congestion and remove unnecessary lane changes.
In the unlikely event of a “deslot”, trained motorway marshals will return vehicles safely to operation. Further updates to follow.

Failure demand is killing your business!
If you've ever wondered why it gets so little 'real work' done, you need to understand the demand.

5. Measure the improvement.
