Musk inszeniert Sparwunder – liefert aber Milliardenschäden.
Versprochen: 2 Billionen $ weniger Ausgaben.
Realität: 150 Milliarden $ Verlust nach 100 Tagen.
Schein: der Macher.
Sein: der Blender.
In der Politik zählt nicht, was glänzt.
Sondern, was trägt.
We revert to monitor, reward, punish because it is familiar. It doesn’t work to improve performance, but that doesn’t stop us... I mean it doesn’t stop you. I choose to work and create in reasonable communities and organizations. #leadership #education
"Speed beats hesitation. Especially when the path isn't clear." - Futurist Jim Carroll
In a downturn, momentum matters more than perfection. Delay costs more than missteps. The biggest risk isn’t moving too fast—it’s moving too slow while the world speeds up.
And yet, In times of uncertainty, the most natural instinct of all is to wait. Wait for the data. Wait for a signal. Wait until the noise settles, the picture clarifies, and the next steps feel obvious. But here’s what too many leaders forget - the path forward doesn’t get clearer by standing still, it gets clearer by moving.
We are deep into a moment when the cost of indecision is far greater than the cost of action, and the trap of your 'aggressive indecision' becomes more significant every day. I've seen it play out countless times: a moment of economic volatility hits, and leadership teams and people fall into a state in which they decide the easiest decision to make is to simply .... not make them.
It’s not that they don’t care. It’s that they overthink things. They fritter away time in endless meetings. They chase every scenario. They wait for perfect timing. They pause strategic initiatives. They delay customer-facing launches. They stall their momentum—believing they’re being cautious when in reality, they’re just stuck. And so in a world in which the future belongs to those who are fast, they slow down.
And while they stall? Markets shift. Competitors move Talent gets restless. Customers look elsewhere. That's the wrong thing to do - history favors the decisive, and who move at the speed demanded by fast-changing circumstances.
Data backs this up. A comprehensive Harvard Business Review study of 4,700 public companies over three recessions found that the top performers weren’t the ones who paused—they were the ones who acted strategically, quickly, and with confidence. Only 9% of companies outperformed their peers after a downturn—and they did it by balancing discipline with decisive moves at speed. A McKinsey study found the same: companies that moved first and fast during a downturn consistently gained market share during the recovery.
In short? While caution may feel responsible, the real risk lies in hesitation.
Doing nothing often costs far more than doing something imperfectly.
So what should you do? Start moving. Fast. Start moving before you’re ready - simply because you know that speed matters.

Futurist Jim Carroll recognizes that moving at speed matters and that with this period of uncertainty set to linger for quite some time, a book to help leaders dance through the rain is timely.

Specifically targeting the funding of political opponents is a form of political violence – in a free and democratic society leaders don't resort to stripping power away from their defeated rivals, but here we are.

Over the next couple of days, we'll see a lot of stories about how foreign contributions impact our elections & government...
Similarly to stock trading, most Americans agree that our president & politicians shouldn't take money from foreign special interests

I am SO excited to share this morning's Forbes article by Aparna Rae, featuring the diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging aspects of my work with No-BS OKRs.
Most organizations adopt OKRs looking to improve clarity, alignment, and focus to improve their overall performance.
But when I started working with OKRs systematically, I noticed something unmistakable:
#OKRs #DEI #WorkplaceEquity #Leadership

The LNP has a candidate problem.
“#Coalition frontbencher #JasonWood was warned there were “serious integrity concerns” about a #Liberal donor and #MigrationAgent whom he tried to appoint to a government advisory group, two years before he denied knowing any adverse information about the man.
Migration agent #JackTa was exposed in a 2022 investigation by this masthead and #60Minutes for being suspected of repeatedly gaming the #visa system to help more than a dozen #DrugOffenders remain in #Australia – concerns that were substantiated when his registration was cancelled months later.”

“Nationals leader #DavidLittleproud says one of his “proudest” moments of his #leadership has been to oppose #TheVoice to # parliament.
Speaking to the #NationalPressClub, Littleproud says it wasn’t a decision that was made quickly by his party room.
Within our party room, in a #respectful way we undertook a #committee within our party room to listen [to the] yes and no case, to understand what the machinery would look like, what it would mean for us who represent some of the most #disadvantaged #Indigenous #Australians in remote areas.
Littleproud says the voice would have repeated “mistakes of the past” and was not the way to empower local communities.”
A reminder Littleproud has no tertiary #education, a rarity in leadership teams in #Labor, #LNP, #Greens and #Independents.
