Tim Toady

Are you familiar with Tim Toady? I just made my acquaintance today. Tim Toady is someone all managers and leaders should know. In fact, we call can learn from Tim.

Actually, "Tim Toady" is not a He, it's a phrase. More accurately, it's a acronym for a philosophy.

TIMTOWTDI.

Which means "There's more than one way to do it."

Rumor has it that the phrase originated with computer programmers praising the Perl programming language, because it "doesn't try to tell the programmer how to program."

I'm barely computer literate, but I know a good plan when I see it. And after a week of scattered and mislaid plans, I think this one can work for me.
