Developing a culture of innovation
Arinya Talerngsri, Published on 04/04/2016
» During the recent event I attended, “4 Views Drive: Organisation. Leader. Sustain”, one of the crucial capabilities participants agreed on was the ability to lead with flexibility, to be able to improvise and innovate, in order to build business sustainability.

» One of the most underlined and passed-along quotations from leaders that I know of comes from Mahatma Gandhi: “Live as if you were to die tomorrow.

Demystifying the science of coaching

» Coaching is not something new or unusual. A familiar scene for most of us will be of an athlete being trained by an experienced coach with an aim to accelerate his or her performance. In business, however, coaching involves having somebody teaching and driving us toward our goals.
Bring out the best in your people with the 3-brain approach

» Today’s workplace is like a battlefield in many ways. Everyone is consistently and fiercely competing against everyone else. Even the most talented people are struggling to stay on top of a deluge of information, relentless demands and unprecedented stress. As well, employees are exhausted from having to do far more with far less in a weak economy. It’s taking a toll on all of us.
