I twisted my ankle in a pothole.
Twist. Ouch!

The UK has a pothole crisis.

The excuses:
- underfunding
- HGV
- utilities

In other words - blame someone else.

The background:
- low standards
- low accountability
- low consequences

Meaning - failed leadership.

Fortunately I wasn’t badly hurt.

So, look to the lesson from this, for those of us in relentless pursuit of improved performance.

Where do your standards need raising?
How will you ensure accountability?
What consequences are there?

This is where I start - with clients who want elite-level commercial results.

What's really going on

“ … all of us hold on tightly to many things we don’t really have.” This line from Patrick Rhone’s book - This Could Help - got me thinking about our attitudes toward pipelines, relationships, and services.

Think Different

I love it when there's a seemingly Unreasonable Agenda. The Apple Think Different campaign epitomised this. Just look at the change makers: Albert Einstein: Questioned absolute space-time. Bob Dylan: Reimagined song meanings poetically. Martin Luther King Jr.: Envisioned equality beyond segregation. Richard Branson: Ignored business conventions fearlessly.
