Just watched an invigorating interview on CNN with Jack Welch regarding housing starts. I feel like we need, politely, to stick it to ourselves: we've got to rescue ourselves from ourselves and do it yesterday .. Incrementalism is the road to disaster in the current climate and, frankly, going forward into a hyper-competitve age. No 1 - at the very least, no 2, or God forbid three - is essential to national prosperity.
With reluctant gains in housing and stock market indices, it may be tempting to pat ourselves on the back, but recovery through innovation will require a full-frontal assault. In this regard, I think we in Australia together with the US need to get hard on our large and medium-sized business in delivering larger dividends for creative thinking and competitive spirit. Those in organizations who unconstructively resist innovation and ploddingly dismiss boundaryless behaviour, I think, should have been managed out yesterday.
The concept of 'tenure', which I hear sub voce from fearful managers here in Australia, should be crushed underfoot. We need to start playing our A-Teams in a kaleidoscopic corporate and global landscape.
The stakes are really that high..
What are your thoughts??
