In an ever changing world, you never learn it all, even if you keep growing into your 90s.

Many years ago, I think I got my first insight on how an incredibly diverse team can work together and do astonishing things, and not just misunderstand each other and fight.

I am always looking for stories that will shed light on how companies define themselves - for better or for worse. When shared with others, such stories can have an enormous impact on how well we move forward in the changing world around us.

Those in leadership positions who fail to grasp or use the power of stories risk failure for their companies and for themselves.
