Did you know that fewer than 10% of organisations around the world have clear written values? But values are important because they drive people’s behaviour while they are working on the purpose and the picture of the future. Same its true for the person. Have you personaly thought and have written values? Why not check them out today? See what happens. 🙂
There are some simple ways to respond to leg and foot cramps:
Here are some simple stretches that can help stop pain and prevent it.
Basic calf stretch
This calf stretch is commonly used by runners. Here’s how to do it:
You should feel a stretch in your calf muscle and the back of the leg.
Towel stretch
Do this stretch while you sit:
Look around the world right now, and – it’s
not judgment, it’s simply observing – but in
business, I spent most of my life, 35 years or more seeing people teaching other people to do things they have never done in their life, copy paste presentations and read them aloud!
We call this the collective de-
professionalisation of business!
Prospective learners are sceptical and misinformed from the viral networks of marketeers and pyramids of coaches! Crazy. Where are we heading?
Most companies view their competitive strengths in terms of the ability to devise smart strategies and efficiently deliver the goods and services that customers want. Teaching organizations also seek winning strategies and brilliant execution, but they view the cause and effect equation differently. They start with the premise that people devise the strategies and implement the execution. Then, they focus equally on developing people.
Leaders with that point of view make decisions differently from people using other metrics. That means not only that the choices they make are sometimes different, but also that the way they arrive at those choices is different. Because decision making is an important leadership skill, leaders in a teaching organisation teach others by opening up the decision making process so that everyone can see how and why they reached a particular decision.

Over the 35 years of my professional career of starting up and managing a number of business trying to determine why some companies succeed and others fail or just limp along. My conclusion: the winners have “good leaders who nurture the development of other leaders at all levels of the organization.” These leaders urge their workers to see reality and mobilize the appropriate responses. The evidence comes from observing how much time their chief executives spend “formally and informally” on teaching. They conclude that those firms’ success is a direct result of everyone’s pulling in the same direction. Of course we cannot ignore small entrepreneurial companies where a product innovation, speed to market or customer service can make all the difference.
In all my business activities (and still do) I have been a teacher, teaching and coaching my staff things such as why we are in business, why we exist, who pays our wages, how to be customer centric, how to identify needs and build products and services to satisfy the customer wants. Teaching the fundamental blueprints for moving forward as an organisation.
Think of the leader as a teacher!
Great leaders create a feeling of hope that inspires people to contribute extra energy to the transformation until they arrive at the goal. To move travelers to jump in and stay the course throughout a potentially long and strenuous journey, leaders must communicate in a way that overcomes resistance and reinforces commitment.
In a virtual and fast-moving world, companies and people must become more adaptive and competitive or risk becoming obsolete and going out of business.
The question is: How do we discover and grow new innovations systematically and reliably while still producing the products and services that make money to keep the lights on and pay employees?
In short: How does a company remain both productive and adaptive?
Employees of organizations that report high trust levels perceive their leadership as consistent and capable, and can explain how their roles specifically contribute to the organizations’ strategic missions.
Ninety percent of these high-trust organizations actively pursue alignment as a key driver of trust (and, subsequently, business results).
“High-trust organizations are able to get their people to go beyond engagement (which is a focus on their jobs only) to involvement (which is sharing responsibility for the success of the organization),”
Happy employees cost less—so much so, in fact, that leading companies from around the world are found to significantly invest in their culture and working environment, even during times of economic belt-tightening.
The return-on-investment of a positive work environment and a company culture that promotes trust and collaboration is undisputed, according to research conducted by Burson-Marsteller and the Great Place to Work Institute.
A study of 20 of the top 25 best workplaces in the world finds that corporate spending on workplace programs during the past year has increased for 30 percent of respondents and stayed the same for the other 70 percent. One hundred percent of the senior executives surveyed indicate that satisfied and engaged employees positively affect an organization’s bottom line.
