God’s didn’t design His economy like a buffet where you can only partake if you have the means to pay. He designed it like a potluck where everyone brings whatever they can, everyone shares without compulsion, and everyone goes home filled and satisfied.
Tackling the most critical and urgent issues is guaranteed not to be easy. However, it doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t tackle them. Here are my thoughts on why investing resources on solving the most critical issues is important…even when it’s hard.

As leaders of any realm, we must remember that we are called to lead, not to rule. There is only one true King. Bearing that in mind, we will be able to keep our minds clear, our hearts pure, and our direction straight.
Consistency breeds trust. In this picture are two Dole ads that are decades apart. If what you’re offering is all-natural and good for people’s health —- there is no reason to hide it.

During this time of pandemic when we are all reminded that health truly is wealth, it’s good to be part of a company that has been consistently delivering its promise for the last 170 years. #HonestyisRefreshing
Read this today in a book - “ We control most of the decisions of most of our employees because we’re worried about what might go wrong if we don’t. We’re designing our organisations for our worst people, then we’re shocked when our best people don’t thrive in them.”

I heard this definition of capitalism in a podcast which resonated with me. “Capitalism is a system in which people make money by serving other people”. I truly believe that capitalism, when it’s run as it’s intended to, is about service and not about greed.

The Bible in Corinthians tells us to “run the race in such a way as to get the prize”. So how come a lot of people think that Christianity is incompatible with being competitive and trying to be the best in the world in what you do?

This article highlights that “good” automation makes certain low-value added jobs obsolete but creates new jobs in turn. However, the jobs that good automation creates are high-value added jobs eg. Robot Technicians, AI Programmers.

What then happens to the blue collar workers that get displaced? We need to prepare for a systematic way to re-skill workers on a massive scale. People need to be open to redefine work and re-skill themselves to. #learntoearn #WorkBase

The rapid progress of AI, natural language processing and process automation combined with the opportunity given to firms this pandemic to rethink their entire value chain will redefine work as we know it.

It’s not what you have but what you do with it. However, please remember that to whomever much js given, much is expected in return.

Your true values as a person and as a company manifest through your actions when no one is looking; when there is no prodding; when there is no reward or applause to be had and in fact when it comes with a cost.
One would argue, if you truly believed in diversity and equality, shouldn’t you have done something about it earlier?

Selfishness does not scale. The ultimate result of a group, market, or economy devoid of trust and cooperation is an assured decline and demise. If you want consistent value creation and growth, you have to learn how to care beyond yourself and what’s yours.

I’m increasingly becoming more fascinated and convinced with the idea that high performers are not well rounded but are actually spiky —- leaning heavily on their unique strength and making their weaknesses irrelevant.

Case in point —- in this amazing Lionel Messi goal, he uses his left foot 17 times of of 19! Isn’t it about time that we stop trying to be well rounded and embrace our spikiness?

Really enjoyed the book “Nine Lies about Work” as it debunked, through data analysis, some of the things that we were made to believe about work.
TIME TO SLAUGHTER SOME SACRED COWS
sacred cow (noun): an idea, custom, or institution held, especially unreasonably, to be above criticism
It’s time to re-examine both our business models and operating models for anything that is already irrelevant in this new world.
