The Spirit of GSD!

Key Point: At our company, we have declared the value of: Find a Way to Get Things Done (although we have also informally abbreviated it to GSD). Too often, people talk a good story, are deft at describing issues, complain about stuff, etc. They fail to act. This way of thinking has the unfortunate outcome of less than desirable urgency, and little when it comes to real innovation. One piece of evidence is when pain causing problems to employees or customers remain unchanged year after year. In this case, one has to seriously question whether a culture really embraces GSD. Frequently, organizations can become literally complacent and even lazy. If things have not materially improved this year over last, I doubt if you’re serious about GSD.

One Millennial View: I had the opportunity to actually grow up attending the same high school as Aaron Levie, and a couple other key players at Box. Whether it was an impressive magic display at a middle school talent show, or literally directing and premiering his own full feature movie as a high schooler, Aaron has always GSD’d. That’s just him. That said, it can always be learned, practiced and implemented by all.
