“The most prevalent form of slavery is being a slave of your own insecurities Or exploiting another's vulnerabilities.
Lust, greed and anger are the pitfalls of the short sighted. Long term business is not possible through lust, greed, anger or guile; it is done based on 'sustainable' relationships; And that is possible when happiness is your goal and each individual you transact with, is a 'strong adult Individual'. We need to invest in ourselves to make us one and in others to help them become the same.
It IS in my Selfish interest to have strong, adult individuals around!”

“The Practising Manager’s Growth Mantra
-Growth in an enterprise is created through remarkable achievements, not incremental achievements like efficiency or effectiveness.
-Remarkable achievements are possible only in complexity.
-Only volitional engagement can work in complexity. Luckily, there is no certainty in complexity. Hence, motivational engagement cannot work.
-People who make choices based on the purpose can only be volitionally engaged—they are the growth managers, the leaders.”
