WELCOME BACK TO LEADERS
REVIEW FOR 2013.
To those many of you in the
business leadership community who follow this collective project - welcome back.
This year we turn our focus to intrapreneurial
thinking - applying passion, vision, commonsense and entrepreneurism within
the context of larger or corporate organizations and career
experience.
Something I have often thought
about since profiling some of Ralph Norris’ thoughts for the NBR back in the
late ‘Eighties.
Norris mentioned back then that
one had to ignore trying to slavishly
apply the hip ‘bells and
whistles’ of one’s peer group - instead looking to improve any
system in simply the straightest line possible. Applied to any circumstance,
that often meant heading the opposite way to what was 'hip'.
Why a series around corporate leadership?
Many of the country’s
entrepreneurs and innovators can only go so far without the everyday-supportive
application of commonsense, fairness and a courage of conviction shown by
a groundswell of intrapreneurial peers.
And the latter we will find.
This year we will bring you
an invited/accepting ‘dragons den’ of sorts - a small group of corporate
pragmatists and their companies, whose ideas we hope will
galvanize NZ corporana into linking more effectively with our wider
business community.
All the while continuing to
provide a bit of focus, a bit of go-forward...
