Culture of Speak

Always pick effectiveness over efficiency. I remember this great quote which came from Peter Drucker, mentioned in a college seminar decades ago. We're so focused on saving time that we sometimes forget what really counts and makes a difference. So the next time you're exhausted and yet feel like you're not making headway, take a step back, prioritize and do ONE thing that really matters. #executivepresence #leadership #communication

Leaders have an eye for how things connect. Being able to spot the connections requires a nimble adjustment from the detail view to the strategic view. Always ask yourself, how does this impact our goals? Does it support our stakeholders? Is is sustainable? Problems always have solutions, processes always have a next step, and culture always has an evolution ahead of it. #leadership #executivepresence #influence

The best leaders are able to figure out 'how' with the finer details and 'why' from the big picture. Like the saying goes, you don't want to miss the forest for the trees, nor do you want to miss out on the trees themselves for each one tells a story. So, zoom in when you need to focus, zoom out when you need perspective. #leadership #vision #productivity

Finally, once we master the skill, it becomes second nature to us. Although the trick is, learning never truly stops. Either w
