"Skills don’t tell us how human beings are going to perform when the environment turns uncertain, unknown, stressful, and challenging. It’s very difficult, if not impossible, to apply a known skill to an unknown environment. This is where we start leaning on our attributes, these innate qualities. Developing an attribute takes motivation, direction, and a willingness to deliberately place yourself into an environment that tests that attribute." Read More.
"I’m observing a shift to decision-making driven by fear or FOMO: fear of missing out. I’d love to see a more substantial commitment to strategic foresight from CEOs, which involves using data to look further ahead. Leadership teams, in particular, often resist confronting their core assumptions. Yet, asking "What if?" is a radical and crucial step because it forces you to consider alternatives—a complex but essential task." Read More.
?"I encourage you to explore what you are longing for deeply. For example, you might think you want a house, but what does the house truly represent to you? It’s likely not just the house itself, but something much deeper. Following your longing, understanding where it leads you, and reflecting on what you're truly longing for and why can be deeply revealing." Read More.
"One of the most important discussions business leaders can have is how they can actively create value. While fairness is essential, I want to elevate the conversation: businesses shouldn't just aim to do no harm; they should actively strive to create value. The key is to consider how you can maximize impact with limited resources. If the impact initially benefits society, it will ultimately benefit shareholder value as well—especially when your societal investments are aligned with your company’s unique strengths. " Read More.
"In order to live with moral courage, you need to appreciate that what is obvious to you will not always be obvious to other people. This is not because they are stupid, ignorant, or evil, but because they have different experiences than you have. Remember this ironclad law of human psychology: if you wish to be heard, you must first be willing to hear. That is living with moral courage." Read More.
