It Takes Guts To Be A Leader

Business success is always built on a platform of courage.

Six Characteristics of Remarkable Companies

by George Lee Sye

Every business leader on the planet wants their company or business to grow and maximise its potential to generate sustainable value for all stakeholders; especially its owners.

The way to achieve that is not rocket science. Some people might argue that fact, but here’s the reality. The actions and strategies to engage in for achieving success in business [at any level by the way] can be found on the web, in text books, and through studying and modeling the most successful companies that exist both inside and outside your industry.

Lean Six Sigma Answers A New Question

Business Improvement Without Lean Six Sigma Comes Up Short.

In the absence of an improvement strategy like Lean Six Sigma, business improvement tends to be approached from a solution mindset.Ideas for making the business better are generated, consolidated and undertaken as improvement projects. These ideas are solutions like install a new piece of software, replace old PCs with new units, re-organise the services division and so on.

Don Argus and Leadership

Did you read the March 2010, Australian Financial Review’s Boss Magazine which focused on REINVENTING LEADERSHIP ?  The magazine published an amazing article which was an excerpt of the speech Don Argus (retired Chairman of BHP Billiton) delivered at a Leadership Victoria dinner in December 2009 in Australia.

Work Life Balance – Making the Choice

Let’s be totally honest with ourselves about a very important topic.

People talk about WORK LIFE BALANCE like its the most difficult thing on the planet to achieve, and they want it so much.

They talk about that day off into the future where they’ll be able to relax and leave the stressed life behind, spend time with the family, play golf or whatever it is they do, and enjoy life as they whittle away their final years.

IT’S ABSURD!

When did they decide they can’t have these things right now AND go to work each day and have tremendous success in business?

Who the hell decided that EXCESSIVE STRESS and a FLOURISHING CAREER have to go hand in hand?

A few years ago a friend of mine said something to me that got me thinking ….

Hello World!

What a neat way to share thoughts that are intended to get you to think. We are socially hypnotized, yet most of us are unaware of it until some apparent crazy person comes along and thinks about things in a different way and then has the hide to express these thoughts in the public domain.

But so what, we need such crazy people to take a different perspective of the things we have been seeing for far too long from only one angle. My hope is that you do read these ideas, open your hearts and mind to the concepts and walk away with strategies you can use to make change in your own life and business.

I dare you to do that.
