My latest HBR post. Yes, control really is for beginners. You don't get 'jazz' with control...only with freedom. After seeing Carl Størmer's story at BIF9 and an intense & casual chat with my friend, and daughter's jazz voice teacher, Kim Nazarian of the New York Voices, I have a very different view of management, leadership, creativity, innovation and the music of life. Please read and comment....
After every BIF, we always wonder if it can get any better and each year is as unique and powerful as the one before. This is a testimony to the human spirit. The media tells us everything that's wrong in the world but it's Random Collisions of Unusual Suspects (#RCUS) that show us otherwise. This year, I had the honor of being a story-teller and can attest to the optimism and realistic hope.
Our hope for the future is based in #RCUS. The more #RCUS, the more we meet people with whom we create powerful positive solutions to our world's wicked problems. #RCUS inspires and transforms our world in ways we may know now, later or may not ever realize. Here are a few BIF9 Storytellers who inspired me.
Deb is here to reveal to organizations their beginner's mind while giving them the tools to execute.
