Grass roots leadership

The old paradigm of organizational leadership, where decisions are filtered from the top down, does not allow the fast reaction time required for today's fast changing marketplaces. Ford are beginning to redress the balance by developing leadership at all levels of the company, enabling employees to make more decisions without asking for agreement from above, this speeds up reaction times and empowers staff to begin thinking for themselves, for a more detailed insight into Ford's leadership program visit the Fast Company website.

Quote of the day

"Sunao mind is an untrapped mind, free to adapt itself effectively to new circumstances. A person with this mind looks at things as they are at the moment and colors them with no special bias, emotionalism, or preconception. A biased person sees everything through filters or a distorting lens. To him, white paper might look blue or a straight line crooked. With Sunao mind one can learn from any source, anytime, any place."
