"I'm an idea man Chuck, I get ideas all day long. I can't control them. I can't even fight 'em"

--Billy Blaze in Night Shift

Today's movie quote is special - it's from employee #1 in Night Shift, Billy Blaze (played by Michael Keaton).  Billy has ideas.  He has ideas coming all day long.  

He's long on ideas, short on execution.  

Know any people like that in your organization?  Maybe it's a blowhard you need to brush back when they're critical of your team or the company at large.  Maybe it's a member of your team you need to coach on executing to a greater degree - they kind who starts a bunch of things they came up with but never sees them all the way through to fruition.  

This clip is for them.  Show it to them.  Billy Blaze had ideas. Ideas all day long. He couldn't control them. He couldn't even fight 'em.  He even had a tape recorder so he didn't lose them.

I'm long on ideas as well.  Billy Blaze keeps me grounded and humble that ideas really don't matter unless you can execute on them.  Clip below (email subscribers click through for video):
