Re-setting a high performing Peer group
Buckle up for 2022!
One year on from my last commentary on the economic opportunities, I am saying the same thing. We all need to be wary of “green shoots” but we must seize opportunities, which means a very strategic, but agile, approach to business growth. With $17Tn of new money in the global system, continued inflationary pressure will remain, together with uncertainty of supply, shortage of quality employees a continued concern. There are some basic things every business leader must do to thrive in the new economy.
The struggle to be a Visionary
Sometimes it is because their makeup is much more suited to operational management. One solution advocated by Gino Wickman with his EOS approach and covered in the book "Rocket Fuel" is that you need both a "Visionary" and an "integrator" in a business. As much as this helps in some circumstances, it isn't quite as simple as that.

COVID-19 and the Stockdale Paradox
Jim Collins calls it the Stockdale Paradox, after Admiral James Stockdale, a survivor as a Vietnam prisoner of war. The concept is that you must not confuse faith that you will prevail in the end, which you can never afford to lose, with the discipline to confront the most brutal facts of your current reality, whatever they might be. Just focusing on “survival” is not enough but blind optimism is fatal.
