The Thinking Behind The Tweet

Having been through those challenges, and rethinking business, I have a better picture of what we need to do to protect our businesses. I know business leaders need to inject Maker-thinking into their business. And, they need to do more good-old-fashioned testing of ideas...that's the entrepreneur-proven route to innovation.

Canadian leaders need to stop avoiding people problems and come up with better ways to remedy them.

Canadian leaders need to start matching talents with tasks.

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

Be clear about your Interests...people need to know what you want...stories help them understand and remember.

State your Vision...people need to know what you see in your imagination..stories help them understand and remember.

Admirable Interests and Vivid Visions are magnetic...they attract Talented people...and Talented people express their Talents...then success follows.

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

Good leaders recognize you cannot force round individuals into square roles and you cannot force square individuals into round roles.

Good leaders know you must take Talent to Task. More specifically, good leaders recognize you cannot force round Talents into square Tasks and you cannot force square Talents into round Tasks.

To Take Talent To Task you must know the details of both the individual's talent and the task and you must know how they fit one another...the better the fit, the better the work, the more the value, the more the profit.
