Leaders….
Leaders can help employees connect with and relate to people across organisational divides by doing four things:
- developing and developing cultural brokers
- encouraging employees to ask questions
- helping people to see things through other peoples’ eyes
- broadening everybody’s vision of internal & external expertise networks
– Tiziana Casciaro, Amy C.Edmondson & Sujin Jang (HBR May-June 2019)
I’m not…
I’m not interested in preserving the status quo; I want to overthrow it.
– Niccolo Machiavelli
Saving…
Saving our planet, lifting people out of poverty, advancing economic growth… these are one and the same fight. We must connect the dots between climate change, water scarcity, energy shortages, global health, food security and women’s empowerment. Solutions to one problem must be solutions for all.
– Ban Ki-moon
Leadership…
Leadership is an individual sport, one that has to be fine-tuned to each of the people that reports to you. Leaders also need to provide the direction, energy, encouragement and inspiration for each person who reports directly to the leader as well as for the overall organisation.
– David Petraeus
Patience…
Patience is the strength of the weak, impatience is the weakness of the strong.
– Immanuel Kant
Futurism…
Futurism is the art of re-perception. Life will change, must change, has changed and suggests how and why. It shows that old paradigms have lost their validity whilst new ones are possible.
– Bruce Sterling
Everybody…
Everybody has accepted by now that change is unavoidable. But that still implies that change is like death and taxes; it should be postponed as long as possible and no change would be vastly preferable. But in a period of upheaval, such as the one we are living in today, change is the norm.
– Peter F. Drucker (from 1999)
Every day…
Every day the clock resets. Your wins don’t matter. Your failures don’t matter. Don’t stress on what was, fight for what could be.
– Sean Higgins
Destiny…
Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice. It is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved
– William Bryan
