Here is some of what I have been reading since June 22nd:
- Why Canada needs a Great Reset
Richard Florida makes a great case for why and how "Canada should be taking advantage of its enviable economic condition — its stable banks, rising housing prices, great cities, high levels of education and abundant natural resources — to lay the groundwork for an improved economic future." - The dark side of the new theories of success
"Maybe we don't have to become magnitudes more frenetic than we already are—just a whole lot more focused…" - In Praise of Tough Criticism
I prefer receiving it myself, but not everyone does…"We need to grow thicker critical skin. Why? Because critical behavior that always results in a chorus of affirmation is nothing more than conformity; because allowing views to persist that need to be challenged is nothing less than critical mediocrity; and because failure to tell our colleagues what we truly think about their work is simple dishonesty." - Can You Say What Your Strategy Is?
Have "a simple, clear, succinct strategy statement that everyone can internalize and use as a guiding light for making difficult choices." - Profitable sweet spot
A sublime use of overlapping circles
That's it. What Next?
