SUMO - Shut Up Move On!

SUMO is a fantastic business and life concept from someone call Paul McGee.

It has really helped me and my team to manage issues and put problems into perspective

But What Does S.U.M.O. Actually Mean?

Shut Up, Move On does NOT necessarily mean ‘get over it’ or ‘pull yourself together’ (although there may be occasions when both responses are necessary).

‘Shut Up’ means - to stop what you’re doing - take time out to reflect - let go of baggage and beliefs that hinder your potential.

‘Move On’ means - Tomorrow can be different from today - Look for new possibilities. - Don’t just think about it, take action.

Sir Digby Jones recently cited Paul and SUMO as one of his biggest influences

Q Do you read books on management? If so, which has influenced you the most?
A No, but I do read books on leadership and human relatiopressurizedressurised situations, be they business, military or political. S.U.M.O. (Shut Up, Move On) by Paul McGee has influenced me most.
