Power of Will & Spontaneous Creativity...aren't they the wonderful, bi-polar highlights of our human condition!

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

Power of Will - a much-praised attribute and process of character (willpower).

Creativity & Spontaneity - humour, music, art, & invention - these add magic to our lives.

"Do you appreciate both?"

"Do you balance both?"

Go miniature or go home...or do both...and add Maker-thinking to your business strategy.

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

Go miniature: Take Baby Steps of change; take small chances & test for success; fail small & frequently; check out the book, 'Makers'.

Go home: when the going gets tough - take a time out...de-stress before you express.

With a fanfare of keen sense of judgment, unleash creativity.

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

Keen Sense Of Justice - in his 1937 classic 'Think and Grow Rich', Napoleon Hill taught this leadership attribute. 

Somehow, our business leaders often miss this essential attribute. 

Perhaps, many business leaders see themselves as just too busy to spend time on considering their need to make people-decisions that confirm a keen sense of justice? 

Well then - just bear in mind the most successful people have more time.

Justice and judgment...related words...they're all about good decisions.

Magic happens when creativity meets good decisions.

When we add creativity to a commodity it evolves beyond commodity.

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

Less than a generation ago specialized knowledge, alone, could tip the scale in favour of business success. Now, specialized knowledge is nowhere near as special as it used to be. Now, with the press of an 'Enter' button specialized knowledge can be shared broadly and deeply...globally. Now, a business that relies on specialized knowledge to tip the scale in its favour is dreaming. Now, specialized knowledge provides little protection and, at best, short-lived differential advantage. We can no longer protect our commodities with specialized-knowledge bubble wrapper. Those bubbles have burst.
