As a leader within your business, you know how important it is to be the person who can inspire, engage, and lead by example. So, why not extend that beyond the four walls of your organisation?

In an attempt to make the program communications more personal, I included an insightful reflection one of the participants “Mark” had shared at the bottom of the email message.

Few leaders will admit it, but time and again the growth of their organizations outruns their skills.

With these changes come unfamiliar questions, and inevitably even the most seasoned leader can hit a wall.

I’m one of those people who likes to always have a game plan. I guess it stems from a desire to know where I’m headed and how I’m going to get there – as quickly and efficiently as possible. And, because even when I go with the flow, I can be so much more purposeful and in the moment. I’m in good company with many leaders and communications professionals who also are outcome-oriented and short on time!

I was in a hurry to get to a meeting across town and traffic was horrible. I decided to take a shortcut. I had been the new way only one other time, but remembered it well enough to believe it would be faster. I turned several streets to navigate through a subdivision, back on to a main road, and then through another subdivision. Just as I was about to get to the road I needed to be on the road was permanently closed to through traffic.

By and large they are right, because conventional money actually does a pretty good job. The U.S. dollar and other reserve currencies have historically performed well as a medium of exchange and as a store of value — the two principal functions of a currency.
