I don’t think I’m displaying leadership. I just think I’m displaying humanity.
Rt Hon Jacinda Ardern, Prime Minister of New Zealand

Today we are immensely proud to launch The Wolff Olins Report 2015: Impossible and Now. We started with a simple question, “How has leadership practice changed in the last five years?”. To start to...
Worth reading, and considering.
Thank you, Roland Rat I believe this is my first celebrity endorsement for my mayoral campaign. Yet again, we are given proof of why Roland Rat is superior to Wacaday.
Ford’s policies and procedures’ manual would be about three inches thick and it’s now about four sides of A4 paper. We were part of a huge automotive company in Ford but we were a very small part of that. Tata’s approach is to work with us but to allow us to run our own business with a high level of autonomy.

Have a good night To my fellow tigers, this is worth remembering.
Google+ is a prime example of our complete failure to understand platforms from the very highest levels of executive leadership (hi Larry, Sergey, Eric, Vic, howdy howdy) down to the very lowest leaf workers (hey yo). We all don’t get it. The Golden Rule of platforms is that you Eat Your Own Dogfood. The Google+ platform is a pathetic afterthought … Google+ is a knee-jerk reaction, a study in short-term thinking, predicated on the incorrect notion that Facebook is successful because they built a great product.

I am apparently not the only person confused about Google’s confusion about Google+.

Maybe Google knows it’s never going to top Facebook at the social game, because when asked, its description of Google+ makes very little sense! AllThingsD chatted up Google+ exec Bradley Horowitz, and he sounds… confused.
Sounds like a bit of revisionism happening here. Either that, or it’s as badly conceived as Google Buzz or Wave or whatever the heck that other one was called.

New Zealand Post management are to be represented by empty deckchairs at petition handover at the Dunedin Metro Post Shop and Kiwibank (in the Exchange) at 12 noon today Friday 27 May 2011.
The campaign to Save Dunedin Post Shop and Kiwibank has collected 2000 signatures in the last two weeks...
I saw the New Zealand Post response to the campaign, which was ‘Post the petition to us.’ Um, how can they, if you’re shutting the post office down? Their refusal to see the public in person is an indication of the ivory-tower mentality that passes for management at Post. Not unlike a certain airport, whose leadership skills make me wonder what on earth is being taught at business schools around the world.
Hey, New Zealand Post: we want to use your services. But not if you behave like this, or put up postage rates by hundred per cent increments in some cases. The folks in Dunedin deserve to be heard.
