“Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.” (Dr. Howard Thurman)

Concepts to Ponder:

• How well do you know yourself (strengths, weaknesses, etc.)?
• Have you ever really taken time to find out for yourself (ask others, observe your behaviours, write it down)?
• Are you trying to “come alive” playing someone else’s game, or using what you’ve been given to make a difference?

First, an apology to my email subscribers…Sometime at the beginning of the year automatic emails were inadvertently discontinued. Although I kept writing and posting, you were no longer receiving regular updates. Actually, it was through one of my faithful readers that the problem was brought to my attention.

But now it’s fixed!…and to get you caught up I’ve summarized 2 months of posts for you below (just click on the links). I hope this will help you pick up where you left off. Thanks for being faithful readers and commentators. I thrive on your support and feedback. This blog exists because of you. (more…)

Strategy therefore requires making explicit choices – to do some things and not others – and building a business around those choices. In short, strategy is choice. More specifically, strategy is an integrated set of choices that uniquely positions the firm in its industry so as to create sustainable advantage and superior value relative to the competition.”

A.G. Lafley (Chairman &  CEO of P&G) & Roger L. Martin
