Excitement and unpredictability are universally desirable

 

Only a heretical professional speaker would never give the same speech twice.

What the speaker loses in scalability, consistency, comfort, and predictability she gains in engagement, authenticity, excitement, and trust.

The leader’s job isn’t to maintain the status quo, the leaders job is to break the mold.

Dear Nuwanda, please tell us how you really feel about the accusations

A fictional (probably) story that could happen, or is happening now, in any company, anywhere in the world…

Dear fearless new leader, welcome back as our company’s alpha dog. You’ve come a long way in the decade you’ve been gone. Extraordinarily impressive. Congratulations.

Those antiquated astonishing things we’re still doing that have you shaking your head and asking, “What the?“, yeah, me too.

Then there’s the issue of why are our employees still doing the same things the same way?

That’s a great question for your leadership council, coincidentally with the same leader at the top since you left.

One can’t help but wonder why our leadership (for the past decade) isn’t apologizing for allowing it to happen and for falsely thinking we can’t change.

This is were we are embarrassed (and sad) for them.

Please don’t tolerate insidious innuendoes about inabilities.

Please build up your team so they can build up the front line.

What is the harsh reality of enjoying a productive summer at work?

What we put up with, we end up with.

What we accept by default becomes our standard.

This is the harsh reality in our careers. What if we would have started 100 days ago and read one business book every month, and read Seth Godin’s daily blog on top of that?
