What Do You See?

You have tiny openings in your mind.

When you look through one of those keyholes, you see a world that could easily become real, but only if you keep looking through that keyhole.

Look through that keyhole long enough and it will expand into a window, then grow to become a door of opportunity through which you can pass into an entirely different future.

Don’t look where you don’t want to go.

If you gaze at dark possibilities, you are headed toward darkness.

We do only those things we have rehearsed in our minds.

Opportunity never knocks.

It smells like jasmine in the air around you.

It tickles like a feather in your open mouth.

It twinkles like starlight in a midnight sky.

It whispers like a girl behind a paper wall.

Look only where you want to go.

If you stare at goodness, you are headed toward good things.

It smells like the sweat of people digging a tunnel through a mountain.

It tickles like happy music played by musicians on the other side.

It twinkles like the eyes of children having a bright adventure.

It whispers like a companion who is urging you forward.

As your friend, I have only one question.

Where are we going?

Dr. Mintzberg says many organizations – for-profit and nonprofit – are making a big mistake when they embrace a one-size-fits-all approach to structuring their operations. Listen as Dr. Mintzberg – who has received a whopping 21 honorary degrees – tells roving reporter Rotbart that there are seven different “species” of companies, each requiring an executive playbook as distinct from each other as football is from basketball, and baseball is from hockey.
