When In Doubt…Stop - The Action in In-Action

Tuesday, November 18th, 2008

Had a rather #$%^ed day yesterday and was really stressed. And I did the opposite of what I should.
I should have stopped. When all things are going to @#$% stopping is a much better solution than making an even bigger mess (though I wonder how many work places would accept your response “sorry I will [...]

The Shape of Context

Wednesday, August 27th, 2008

These two quotes catch me today. I read the first and my mind said “Guernica” for an image and “Christopher Alexander” as an antithesis, or antidote or…somewhere in me, Simon and Christopher’s words connect. And Picasso’s landscape challenges, as does Andy’s, but in a different way…I guess my brain will catch up with my [...]

I Invite you to Watch “The Story of Stuff”

Wednesday, June 11th, 2008

I would like to invite you to watch "The Story of Stuff".
Have you ever wondered where all this stuff comes from…and where it goes when we throw it out?
Created by Annie Leonard (and a team…) The Story of Stuff details exactly that - how stuff travels through our system! And it presents extremely complex [...]

One of My Favourite ‘Leadership’ Stories…

Monday, June 9th, 2008

A long time ago, or so it seems, I heard about a lecture. And though I never attended it, I can never forget it, either.
I was visiting NY for the first time. After magical visits to Austin and Boston I found myself in Manhattan…
While waiting in a bagel shop somewhere for my friend, Motti [...]

Real Change

Wednesday, May 28th, 2008

What does real change look like? 
I drew this up to amuse myself the other day while musing on real change at the same time as writing about organisational change processes for a client…and watching/dealing with the changes thrust upon people close to me …

I actually think I first ‘created’ the doodle while working in the [...]

Ok So We Aren’t In Control…Now What?

Thursday, May 15th, 2008

 The other week I posted my favourite quote at the moment "Relax - Nothing is under Control" …
Ok, so let’s say we accept that as true. Nothing is under control. But what if your situation feels more extreme than usual. If things really are spinning away differently from how we ‘planned’ or ‘assumed’.
How then [...]
