When There’s No Strategy, Any Path Looks Like Progress
I naively thought all organisations had strategies. Peter Drucker was talking about objectives and purpose back in 1954 so I thought that by now, all organisations would have some sort of document in place, bringing together objectives, purpose, vision, mission and values.

I was spurred on by a chance encounter with Randy Silver to blog it all out. So, read on for this week’s musings – all about strategy, or the lack of it.
Rising Like a Phoenix: A Leadership Lesson in Looking Up and Out
I’ve been thinking a lot about perspective lately, especially how important it is to look up and out, and beyond our routines and familiar spaces.

I’m glad to say things are different now and employees have different expectations of their organisations. They hold their leaders to account or they speak up and move on. Join me in sharing my reflections on the last 20 years and observations on what Linda said.
