Right now the global economy is in a bit of an uproar over corona virus and its impact on people, businesses and economies. Starting in China, the virus has significantly slowed the production of goods from a core portion of China, which will have knock on effects to supply chains in Europe and in the US. Travel and trade will likely slow, as governments try to contain or mitigate the spread of the virus.

I’ve been doing a lot of thinking these days about “culture of innovation” — trying to get down to the root of what the heck it’s all about. It’s easy to wax poetic about the topic these day (and a lot of people do), but too much of the stuff I’ve been reading sounds like. Innovation

Mid February was the NBA All Star Game. As I mentioned in a post I wrote, for some time the ASG was struggling to be the best pick up game in the world. But the changes made to the format of the ASG made it great again. The person behind the idea that stuck was Chris Paul, the point guard for the Oklahoma City Thunder. But the person responsible for making it all happen was NBA Commissiones Adam Silver. You see, the ASG would not have changed if it wasn’t for his open mindedness.

Elevated Consciousness Improves Relationships. For a relationship to be successful, it is equally important to know yourself as it is to know your partner.

No company is invincible. Those that come closest are the ones that constantly reinvent themselves before their business models become obsolete. This need for reinvention is more pressing than ever. 60 years ago, the average lifespan of a company listed in the S&P 500 index was 50 years, today, it is 15 years. By 2027, the average company could last just 12 years on the S&P 500. Innovation Thought Leadership Books

I have spent most of my working life on innovation projects. And I have to concede that most of these projects needed a ‘process’. However, this ‘process’ is certainly not designed to inhibit freedom of thought. It is simply there to focus minds on real-world issues and solutions. Innovation projects have to be anchored in genuine need.

If you are a Team Leader, one of the first things you will need to do (if you haven't done so already) is let your team know the full scope of your roles and responsibilities. You may think they know, but it's very likely that they don't -- at least not at the level of specificity that a high performing team requires. And if team members don't understand what you actually DO -- and WHY you do it -- chances are good that they will resist, rebel, or reject your efforts to play your role.
