Great insights on the importance of moving slow to go fast.
Expert Facilitator, Vision & Strategy Catalyst, Building Board, Staff, & Volunteer Leaders

It can also mean shaking the rust off of long held structures and practices. A strategic framework should give vision, priority, and direction - change management will be what takes the places of different and makes then a reality. #strategy #CEO #leadership

This is so true... I spend a lot of time on business planning — thinking about the future of the business, our clients, creative opportunities, margins, culture, training, accounting… the list goes on. But I saw this today in a shop window in London, and it really struck home: "Quality is the best business plan." Thanks, John Lasseter.

« Large, established organizations should expand their definition of effective leadership. If they were to do that, several things might happen, including the disappearance of the glass ceiling and the creation of a wider path for all sorts of executives—men and women—to attain positions of leadership. Widening the path will free potential leaders to lead in ways that play to their individual strengths. Then the newly recognized interactive leadership style can be valued and rewarded as highly as the command-and-control style has been for decades. By valuing a diversity of leadership styles, organizations will find the strength and flexibility to survive in a highly competitive, increasingly diverse economic environment. » Ways women lead, Harvard Business Review, Nov-Dec 1990 #internationalwomensday2024 #diversityandinclusion #empatheticleadership https://lnkd.in/e4mDPmXW

Unlike some agencies and studios that rely on the same Creative Directors for feedback, Pixar's system utilizes diverse perspectives, potentially leading to undisputed blockbusters. This raises the question: who is better suited to provide feedback – peers or senior leaders? We have a point of view – join the discussion on the-wei.com.
