Leadership Wisdom from Dr. Seuss
This is an epigram I started using recently, because it’s so relevant to our times. It was inspired by none other than the inimitable Dr. Seuss:
“Without a common vision, you have division”
Inspiration came from Dr. Seuss’ story of the Zax - imaginary creatures who can only go in one specific direction. In the story, two Zax, one southbound, the other headed north, happen to bump into each other in the middle of the desert, perfectly blocking the other’s path. Neither of the two was willing to budge, to change direction, to seek a common vision. And as they remained there perfectly divided in their perspectives and goals, the world passed them by. A new highway was built right around them in the desert.
As Dr. Seuss puts it:
“And they built it right over those two stubborn Zax. And left them there, standing un-budged in their tracks.”
Is your team full of Zax, or do you have a clearly-articulated, well-founded common vision to unite them?

Try not to laugh!
With all the gloomy chatter about the apocalyptic impact of AI, it's refreshing to see a humorous side of its application. Very funny.

Your Path to Sustainable Innovation: 3 Levels of Blue Waters
A key premise of the Slingshot Framework is to shift focus from targeting only blue oceans, which is interpreted as transformational or disruptive market moves and therefore seen as elusive and risky. Instead, the focus is on pursuing 3 levels of blue waters simultaneously in a constantly flowing motion:
Blue Lake - Continuously refreshing and optimizing your current market offerings and value proposition
Blue Sea - Expanding your offerings to broaden your customer relevance
Blue Ocean - Creating new offerings that offer unprecedented value
Blue Lake - Continuously refreshing and optimizing your current market offerings and value proposition
Blue Sea - Expanding your offerings to broaden your customer relevance
Blue Ocean - Creating new offerings that offer unprecedented value
By simultaneously pursuing all 3 levels of innovation – from incremental to transformational – the waters blend together. A blue lake idea can expand into a blue sea or blue ocean opportunity, while a blue ocean must be continuously refreshed by inflowing blue lakes. This allows you to create ongoing distinction and separation from competitors without being forced back into red waters.
