  • When do you get your best ideas? You probably answer “At night,” or “In the shower,” or “Stuck in traffic.” You get a flash of insight. Things come together in your mind. You connect the dots. You say to yourself, “Aha! I see what to do.” Brain science now reveals how these flashes of insight happen. It’s a special form of intuition. We call it strategic intuition, because it gives you an idea for action – a strategy.
  • From ChangeThis: For the first time in history, the lives of hundreds of millions of people around the world are tethered securely to one big honkin' global economic engine.

  • From ChangeThis: And, now there's global research proving that recognition accelerates human performance to a level beyond comparison in every culture studiedthe impact has no boundaries, and the way humans respond to recognition reveals an outstanding driver of performance.

  • From ChangeThis: "I am convinced that a good many of the survival strategies that organizations are adopting are just wrong. Tragically wrong. For more than three years, my colleagues and I have been studying a set of managers who successfully grew their businesses in the face of uncertainty and scarcity. And they taught us an alternative path -- a road less traveled -- that suggests that growth needn't come with a high price tag and lots of risk."

Unfortunately, long lead times are gone. The months that leaders used to get for pondering, debating, or hiring outside consultants has shrunk to days.
