Strategy is the vehicle not an end by itself... but your Success or Win depends on your understanding of the End Economics logic or edge you create by using Strategy as a tool. The economic end is the key in a Strategy... One should be clear on the Economic End he wants to achieve and then devise a Strategy to achieve it... Otherwise Strategy is hollow and it is only a collection of nice ways of doing things....
Great insights shared in the video by Juliette Powell on Practical Leadership Principles for Responsible AI Development. It's important for us to consider the impact of AI on society and work towards responsible deployment to benefit humanity. Juliette's emphasis on diversity of thought and intentional risk assessment is key to shaping a positive future with AI technology. Thanks for the valuable insights!
Brilliant, 33 into my own manufacturing business and understanding these concepts and fundamentals of strategy is so well presented, as most of his work. So useful!
For anyone interested in delving deeper into what Porter said on „Strategy being a set of choices“ and „Winning“: This is hard strategy vocabulary with clear and concise definitions. Read/watch: Roger L. Martin „Playing to Win“ (google: Strategic Choice Cascade).
I'm in complete awe of this. I recently discovered something similar, and it left me in disbelief. "Dominating Your Clock: Strategies for Professional and Personal Success" by Anthony Rivers
Stellar. Small note. Humans have a great fondness for naming. The speaker said she regrets to this day not asking her rescuer his name. Actually of course, this led her to appreciating _the heart of_ her experience. There is a tendency to neglect _the heart of_ some thing once it has been labelled. But it's not a thing at all, but a _revealing._ Forget you the naming. I would note that when she says 'the amygdala', she is more specifically referring to the _right_ amygdala. Dr. Todd Murphy (a student of Dr. Michael Persinger...) points out in his books and online lectures (available here) that the left amygdala isn't fear, but _positive emotion,_ like joy and bliss. It is interesting that the amygdala breaks the usual symmetry found in the brain, in terms of functionality by hemisphere. In the amygdala, its reversed. Described eloquently by Dr Ian McGilchrist. There are many mental exercises one can do when working with people possessed by anxiety, involving _imagining_ the amygdala reducing in its level of activity. Very simple. You do this in an 'altered state' , at first with eyes closed so you can concentrate, simply by imagining a lever or dial gradually lowering its amplitude. The more vivid the mindscape, the more effective, basically. You can't imagine you are in a room full of levers and dials, and you locate the one labeled anxiety/fear/amygdala. How absolutely essential, in my mind. You must understand the subconscious -- which controls autonomic processes, without you needing to be aware explicitly -- does not make the distinction between "real" and imagined that the ego does. One of these days i will make a video on courage and suicide, a case study of the birth horoscope of Curt Cobain. The ancient sages figured out something called "The Lot of Courage", which is mathematically derived from the distances two planets and the Ascendant (horoscope) itself, the primary planet being Mars. The Lot is activated in measurable ways throughout the life span. In terms of decades, years and months, like clockwork. In case you're wondering where, in this case, COURAGE, comes from .... We normally think of suicides as cowards; actually of course it takes, in the vernacular, balls. Again, stellar presentation, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Wonderful human being, although a little intimidating physically. Fortunately i know how to decrease (right) amygdala activation using the powers of the mind.
We have the time to waste on this drivel while Antarctica is melting and Mother Earth is burning up? Maybe it is true. There is no sense of urgency and how much destruction is happening. And this professor, Zoe Chance, is talking about Amazon? Repurchasing? The earth is burning, but this lecture should be thought of as worthy of our precious time?
