If…

If you want what you’re saying heard, then take your time and say it so that the listener will actually hear it.

– Maya Angelou

You cannot…

You cannot build an adaptable organisation without adaptable people and individuals change only when they have to, or when they want to.

– Gary Hamel

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)

So many…

So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservation, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality, nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit.

– Christopher McCandless

I’m not…

I’m not interested in preserving the status quo; I want to overthrow it.

– Niccolo Machiavelli

All new…

All new will come from what you are ignorant of now

– Clifford Scott

Taking…

Taking a new step, uttering a new word, is what people fear most.

– Fyodor Dostoyevsky

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

Patience…

Patience is the strength of the weak, impatience is the weakness of the strong.

– Immanuel Kant

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
