Another great 5MSM Andrew, and not just because you put VBJ out there :). I think it was the wonderful Edgar Schein, professor at MIT Sloan, who said something like "culture determines and limits strategy". As a masterful strategist, do you agree?

And dear Janice, what's the old adage.... if you don't want the answer, don't ask the question... but don't quote me on this.

Also love the questions you gave us Andrew. Here's a few more from the book "A More Beautiful Question" by Warren Berger

What if we became known for the questions we ask, not just the answers we give?

What if we made the by-product the product?

What if we killed our own company, how would we do it?"

How might we make the invisible visible?

Thank you for your insightful emails Andrew - I am in an EA role within a CEO office and I find your emails help me to understand strategy and leadership better :)

Andrew I enjoy the way your questions are strengths based and focus on the new.

I'm often asked by Orgs and Government what accommodations or adjustments are required to facilitate inclusion. Turning this around to explore how roles, processes and ways of working can be structured so that barriers do not exist, rather than having to make individual arrangements to remove them is much more fun. No labels...Just imagine...
