Business is black and white, usually, apart from the complex world of relationships within the organisation. I don’t mean the personal, “do you like or not like someone” but the more in-depth aspect of trusting your colleagues. Can and will they complete the work by the deadline? Are they capable of managing that client situation […]
6 years ago I left permanent employment to spend more time with my growing family. Over the following few months, several ex-colleagues contacted me to work with them on a consulting basis. Within 6 months I had an ABN and a fully operational business. Aide de MD continues to work on a referral only basis […]
How do you feel when you look at the date and realise that there are only 6 months left this year? Is it a relief that you’ve made it through the first half or a quiet panic, how will you get everything done?
I went to see a great speaker last night, Stephen de Groot discussing Safety, Value and Direction within relationships. It was interesting to see how many of his thoughts and guidance coincide with ethical principles in business management.

Interestingly, an article I read this month states that the two main reasons for business failure are a)lack of strategy and b)insufficient financial comprehension – not issues within partnerships, minimal product knowledge or market status: reasons we have all heard over the last few years.
During this month, many of my meetings have involved some kind of discussion regarding perspective. Is perspective a skill to be learnt or a natural ability?
