What is your organization’s single greatest economic denominator?

For those familiar with the work of Jim Collins, great organizations have apparently profound insight into the inner workings of their economics because they are able to pick one ratio to systematically increase over time that will have the greatest most sustainable impact on their economic engine (or for the social sectors, their resource engine).  Perhaps every organization needs to ask themselves, what is their single greatest economic denominator, and how can they develop a sustainable engine to deliver superior performance relative to their mission. If every organization did this perhaps this would greatly assist with having sustained social and economic continual improvement globally before, by and beyond perfect vision leap year 2020.

Thank you for all you do. Have a great day, and future.

The efforts of IBM and many others are making a positive difference from many perspectives. Ideally before, by and beyond 2020 positive actions of Green, Social Responsibility, Humanitarianism, Professionalism and so on (e.g., One million acts of kindness), will reach unimagined dimensions of intrinsic and pervasive joy, peace, goodness, greatness and love thanks to all who are interconnected by software, technology and the sharing of information, ideas and progress. Thank you for each step you take for you and others in a positive forward thinking open minded direction. Merry Christmas and many Happy New Years!

Leadership is…

It may be that as each person practices humility and develops a mindset that opens them to connecting to and maturing common wisdoms, they are helping to enable the powerful intentions of something far greater than ego and pride. It may be that all can be leaders, and that leadership is about caring and the courage to right wrongs for the benefit of all. It may be leadership is about empowering all to be leaders for helping ensure the quality they produce, affect and contribute towards. It may be that increasing empowerment requires looking within the cores of waves of trust to ensure the intent of each action of each person includes benefit for others. It may be that looking within values, the metaphysics of quality (e.g.), and the work of others (e.g., Covey, Dyer and many more), may be necessary for the collective to increasingly enable greater dimensions of intrinsic and pervasive quality and value. It may be that a mindset for goodness is associated with continually achieving greatness and ever higher forms of social responsibility. It may be that pursuing unimagined to-be-discovered dimensions of excellence means increasingly moving towards simplicity. It may be that increasingly integration of work and life will enable greater global forms of balance. It may be that software, technology, information and people will increasingly work better together to make things continually better before, by and beyond 2020.

For those who may wonder, this blogger enjoys home, employment and life and simply wishes the best for all in present and future.
