Flight Levels
Klaus Leopold’s Flight Levels are a thinking tool to differentiate between the levels of detail in companies and to better understand the necessary communication channels.
Leap of Faith
Many people are trained in getting started with a plan. Can be one. More successful is sometimes (most of the times actually) to get started with objectives and understanding the environment you are acting in. To change paradigms requires a leap of faith. A short introduction. 😉
Start with Why
Start with Why is Simon Sinek’s mission to help others do work, which inspires them, and uses real-world examples of great leaders to show you how they communicate and how you can adapt their mindset to inspire others yourself.
Flexible or Adaptive?
Flexibility of adaptability, what is the difference? It is the difference between being a passenger or at least part of the crew, if not the captain of the spaceship.

Strategy, Tactics, and Operations

Separation of Symptom from Problem
A symptom is something that can be observed. “Fixing” a symptom is just covering it up. The underlying problem is still there. Understand the difference between symptoms and problems. Fix the problems and the symptoms disappear. This is how it works.

Understand that your workforce, that is your people develop your future products. Before you get your future products, you need to develop your people to enable them to develop their own future. People first. It is that simple.
Portfolio and Strategy
When you are running an organization, you are handling two complementary portfolios at the same time. At least you should. Product portfolio and Knowledge Portfolio of the people developing the product. Both need to be managed.
