Do The Right Thing - Even If You're Doing It Wrong!

The following quote comes from one of my heroes Russell Ackoff, Professor Emeritus of the Wharton Business School. Among the many reasons why I like Russell so much, none the least was that he wasn't afraid to make up words! "Doing the right thing wrong is better than doing the wrong thing right. If you do the wrong thing right you just get wronger and wronger and take yourself further away from wherever you want to be." I don't believe that I need to add much more to Russell's statement,…See More

How well do you trust yourself?

The proverbial phrase “He who hesitates is lost” is often taken to mean that when we know what we need to do to solve a problem, we should act immediately, or our window of opportunity is likely to pass. More than 50% of my work is helping people to do what you know you should.Why do we hesitate to do what we know we should?“To know and not to do is really not to know.”attributed to Stephen R. Covey in some circles and simply as Zen wisdom in other places.I believe the key reason we fail to do…See More

A view of leadership from the 'other side'

Below is a dialogue between two colleagues. One of them Paul, is upset with his manager because he believes that while she preaches ‘collaboration’, she is in fact (to him) a hypocrite. His colleague Aiden provides a different perspective and eventually enables Paul to see that maybe his manager isn’t the hypocrite he thinks she is. Paul: “Amanda is a hypocrite!” Aiden: “What do you mean?” Paul: “Well, she says that she wants us to collaborate, so I gave her my opinion about the Seymour…See More
