Are you for sale and if so what’s your price?
The most basic principle in business is that nothing happens until somebody sells something. Yes, business is all about sales to generate revenue, whether it’s the sale of a product or a service.
Are you hiding from your future?
At the start of every year, a posse of experts wants to tell us what the year ahead (the future) holds, and this year has been no different.
Seen any good leaders lately?
Our country – and the world, for that matter – no longer appears to have any leaders of substance who inspire confidence and hope for a better future.
At what age are you planning to die?
Death is a subject that makes a lot of people uncomfortable because it forces them to confront their own mortality.
When should you start managing conflict?
Conflict is never pleasant – by its nature, it sets two or more people against each other.
Have you started customising careers yet?
With increasing changes happening at an increasingly rapid rate, you can be forgiven for not keeping up with them all. One practical approach to try to keep up is to, as it were, pick the changes you’re going to adapt to.
Why are nice guys now finishing first?
In the "industrial era" where command and control leadership dominated, people who displayed sensitivity were sneered at and laughed at as being weak and mamby pamby.
Where have all the good leaders gone?
Our country – and the world, for that matter – no longer appears to have any leaders of substance who inspire confidence and hope for a better future.
Do you have a "wait" problem?
While weight problems are increasing, "wait" problems have been around for thousands of years. That’s because human beings simply don’t want to wait for anything.
How dead will you be in 10 years’ time?
On a scale of 1 to 10, where 10 is irreversibly dead, how dead do you think you’ll be in 5, 10 or 20 years’ time?
When will "parents" stand up to their "children"?
It's time for tax payers and business to stand up.
Are you losing your talent faster than your hair?
Sometimes, we fail to see what the real cause of the problem is because it’s just too blindingly obvious or too close to home.
Why can’t you train leaders to be agile?
Despite much money having been spent on training programmes to turn leaders and business professionals into more agile people, there has not been much to show for that money.
What can business leaders learn from Vladimir Putin?
Business and political leaders who act with only their own interests in mind have no place in the modern business and political worlds.
Are you a conflict "causer" or a conflict "resolver"?
Leaders need to learn how to intelligently and competently manage and resolve conflict when it raises its ugly head.
Which reality are you living in?
There was a time when people all seemed to live in one reality – they accepted that the reality they faced was borne out by facts and truth.
Old dogs can learn new tunes if they want to
In times of change, leaders who are prepared to learn will succeed, while those who consider themselves to be learned will find themselves beautifully equipped to deal with a world that no longer exists.
What are you training your leaders for?
Leadership programmes have not moved with the times and that flaw is now showing very clearly in the quality (or lack thereof) of people occupying leadership positions today.
Do you manage people according to their roots or fruits?
Managing people in the right way can energise them and encourage them to achieve even more than you or they could have imagined.
Are you always right in your eyes?
Being right in our own eyes – always – is not realistic. After all, we’re human and, with that, come all the frailties and flaws of being human.
