At the core, there is one simple, overarching reason why so many people remain unsatisfied in their work and why most organisations fail to draw out the greatest talent, ingenuity, and creativity of their people and never become truly great, enduring organisations.

My thoughts chase each other from room to room in my head if I let them, so sometimes I have to slow myself down.
