The Vessel
The Vessel Our body is a vessel. So is the organisation you lead. Your environment doesn't just surround the vessel — it conditions it. Every report you sign off without questioning it, every steering committee you sit through half-present, every hard conversation you...
The Story Sounds Right
The Story Sounds Right. That's the Problem. Narratives are great. We feel connected to them, we relate, we draw a conclusion, and we move on. That's the whole appeal — a good story lets you stop thinking. It's also why sponsors get blindsided. You are not paid to feel...
