This material is from a short book I wrote for a client a few years ago. From a professional development perspective it covers a number of key thoughts that matter in business and life. Additional material will be added on a monthly basis. A copy of the book can be purchased. email for details.
Introduction:
There is a new shift that is currently occurring, a new and altogether different approach to what we have been used to. New technologies have been dissolving medium and large organisations for some time. Top management cannot run things the way they used to, even if they desperately want to. Competition for your job is coming from any and everywhere on the planet. The ability to adapt and live with uncertainty will be the number one skill of all successful companies today and well into the future. Most employees and business owners think they understand the situation, not realising that the situation has just changed. We must recognise that we only jeopardise our future when we hold on to old assumptions and patterns. The ability to change and change rapidly is the needed skill of the successful employee, entrepreneur and business owner now and in the future. The message is clear; start behaving like you’re in business for yourself. Even if you work for somebody else, manage it like you own it. You must become an agent unto yourself.
The following 9 Powerful Principles outline the needed guidelines for managing businesses, career and yourself in an age of uncertainty and ambiguity. These non-negotiable traits are based on our training and consulting experience at our company ‘Performance Capability Ltd’. for almost two decades. We hope that you enjoy and use these powerful distinctions.
