I am very excited to be spending next week in Scotland, Wales, and London to do keynote speeches and coaching based on my latest book PROACTIVE Problem Solving.
I look forward to the events and for connecting with friends I’ve made over the past thirty years of traveling to the UK.
Taking my learnings and teachings from Canada and the United States to the UK is always a wonderful educational experience for me. Being there brings a fresh and diverse edge to my talks and research.
Historically I’ve spoken about finding and fast tracking “Big Ideas” inventing new brands or renovating existing brands.
For this trip, my focus is on helping managers who are VERY FRUSTRATED with their inability to get things done! That’s because research indicates that the average manager wastes 3.5 hours a day dealing with broken work systems (some would call them “stupid” work systems) – the processes, practices, and procedures that get in the way of their performance and that also frustrate and disengage colleagues, and slow the organization’s productivity and growth.
Philip Oliver, our regional partner at Eureka! Europe, came up with a clever way of telling the story through the lens of the crazy success we’ve had with our Dexter Bourbon Company from our Brain Brew Distillery.
The talk is titled: Seven Lessons in Leadership from A Craft Whiskey Distillery.
Obviously it will be good fun using lessons from a U.S. distillery with the folks in Scotland who pioneered whiskey. I anticipate enjoying friendly humor, some polite challenges to me, and as always mind-opening insights from sharing what I’ve learned with an audience that has a very different cultural mindset.
As I wrote in PROACTIVE Problem Solving – our modeling of creativity finds that diversity like this is not additive, not multiplicative, but rather exponential in its impact.
Cheers,
