This month we're reading........


“Wilful Blindness” by Margaret Heffernan


If we always do what we've always done, nothing will ever change. This world and all its resources are finite. Managing people and making business decisions needs to change. Statistics, evidence and data shows this definitively yet we're all walking blindly, expecting someone to make a decision instead of a determined effort to change the world and how we take our part in making things better -  from working standards, to leadership and the climate. 

 

"The world is going to end because of the face you pull when someone says “we've only got oat milk”" (Jon Richardson). Be different, be the change, but don't whatever you do wait for someone else to take action. If you want to do something to change this planet and its current direction, then be the change.  If you know that work in the way we have known it isn't right, take action. Just don't act as if this will all get better eventually. We need to be the change. 

 

This book shows how being wilfully blind is actually adding to the issue.  The collective for change becomes with someone starting a new ‘group think’....what's your group think?
