Leading Thoughts for June 6, 2024

IDEAS shared have the power to expand perspectives, change thinking, and move lives. Here are two ideas for the curious mind to engage with:

I.

Garret Kramer on insight versus willpower:

“Insight is infinitely more powerful than willpower. Actually, insight, or having a new idea and/or a change of heart, erases the need for strength or force of will of any kind.”

II.

Bob Seelert on asking what’s right:

“When people come into an underperforming company, they often start by asking themselves, “What’s wrong?” This is the opposite of what they should do. In my experience, the best starting point is to ask, “What’s right?” Most enterprises that prosper do so for good reasons, and these reasons form the foundation from which you can and must build a successful company. Taking the best of the past, and linking it to the present and desired future is the most dynamic way to build a business.”
