• your values are virtues
• as a general rule you recruit the right people at the right time
• your employee turnover is less than 10% p.a.

good at turning information into insight into inspiration into ideas, and
then successfully implementing ideas (innovation)

Game-changers - what real leaders do and fake ones don’t
For the longest time there were landowners and farm workers. For a couple of hundred years they were largely replaced by industrialists and factory workers. For less than a hundred years information experts and knowledge workers have led us.
Their days are over because now information, courtesy of the internet, is abundant and mostly cheap or free, yet time consuming and often energy sapping to access. Insight on the other hand is scarce, mostly expensive, yet still time consuming and energy sapping
to discover.
