The Art Of Kintsugi And Lessons In Leadership
Excerpt from the article: "Kintsugi (金継ぎ) is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold. Y-Jean Mun-Delsalle stated in a recent Forbes article, “… kintsugi a symbol of psychological resilience, … associated with the Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi—the beauty of impermanence and imperfection—and Japanese esthetics that value marks of wear and tear through the usage of an object….”
"The principle of kintsugi applies to all aspects of our life, including our leadership in the workplace. Beyond the inherent artistry and beauty involved with kintsugi, the metaphor extends to other essential leadership lessons, including the focus on authenticity, deliberateness and impact."
13 Reminders To Stay Positive, Tenacious And Confident At Work
"Recenter Around Core Values Regularly:?Find regular opportunities to recenter yourself around core values. It’s so easy to get caught up in the daily grind of work and life, and if we aren’t careful, mission creep will set in. Then, before we know it, we will find ourselves spending more and more of our limited time and energy on efforts we don’t actually care about. When this happens, recenter and prune the excess until you are realigned."
10 Tips For Startup Leaders To Improve Public Relations Efforts
