2026 is about to arrive, almost at the speed of sound! If this coming year is about ‘turn around’, or ‘maximising opportunity’, there will need to be a thinking audit. This is not something that can be done by one’s self satisfactorily, if that opportunity is to be truly transformational. Incremental change can be part…
One person’s analysis of the election drama – the debates et al Talking heads calling each other, or inferring, liar! So-called facts are manufactured to either make oneself look good or the other bad Mustn’t answer the question put, but lay back on rhetoric Rely on the ‘rusted on’ voted to sheep-like – follow Pretty…
There they are, the same old parties, same rhetoric, empty promises, saying what they think we want to hear. Then along came the TRUMPET OF PATRIOTS! Lots of money, huge promises, little substance, being yelled at us through these hideous yellow pages time and time again. If that’s not a big enough turnoff, we don’t…
Just one of the promises – Port Rush Road FIX?!?. How many kilometres, how much time, how much cost does this deliver to the drivers, the goods, to our purchases? Certainly Port Rush Road is a very difficult topic BUT, this cannot be the answer. Expediency for the ‘potential’ votes value,is not Leadership. There was…
The question to be asking is not “what you want from another AI platform” but “what don’t you want”. “What has disappointed you about your current experience”. We rarely have a clear idea of our wants but recite what we have heard. Delving into the so-called negative will give much clearer signals to the sur/petitous*…
Intelligent Disobedience! The provision of an environment where everyone is equal value – where pre-emptive & groupthink are not welcome. Where people live up to expectations, not down to which becomes self-fulfilling. The Leader is not the solution but the facilitator – clarity is achieved through connectedness – not consensus; through energy, trust, respect and…
Succession. Two recent case studies – peripheral overview absent of financial data The need to look ahead and define a structure to replace current leadership is imperative. This applies as much in the home as in business. If the business is a family business, then even more so. Very often ‘leadership’ just comes about through…
Succession. The need to look ahead and define a structure to replace current leadership is imperative. This applies as much in the home as in business. If the business is a family business, then even more so. Very often ‘leadership’ just comes about through circumstance or last-minute plans, if they can be called that –…
Things to think about when considering people, you interact with and even as close as to you, interacting with others. Almost everything can be solved when we move the responsibility to self and take it away from the “if lonely they ‘didn’t’ sentiment. Almost everything can be solved when we change our expectations and paradigms…
Saturday 27th May 2023 and yet another sad story about lack of governance and integrity within a big so-called ‘respectable’ organisation. This time (once again) PwC, but it could as quickly have been any of their level competitors! I wrote to Helen Fazzino (PwC Managing PArtner People, partnerships and culture) today via LinkedIn saying “As…
