It was great spending time in Boston at the Harvard Business School thinking about the strategies around so many different businesses, and how agile to change these organizations are. The trick is to now come back to our “real world” lives and apply what we heard, read and talked about. The class and especially the classmates were great fun.
What I hope to achieve with this blog site is the ability for us to stay in touch, share, learn and continue to grow from our time together.
My key learning’s from last week:
Understand what business you are in and also what you are not.
- Leadership drives the ability of an organization to both have a strategic direction and also if that organization will have attributes that allow for agility and stretch.
- There is the seen and the unseen in networks and corporate structure/ organizations make sure you take both into account.
- What made you successful in the past will most likely not make you successful in the future.
- Never assume you have the whole picture - get others to help check in and give a reality check.
Best in Spirit! David Carrithers
