1. Vision: Don’t think about what your organisation needs today, tomorrow or this month. Think about what it will need in the medium and long term, and get ready for it. The social environment, its strategic global plan….that’s where you should be aligned. Remember that “The only thing worse than being blind is having sight but no vision” Hellen Keller.

2. Run fast away from loss aversion: an economic term referring to the strong tendency of people to prefer to avoid losses before achieving equivalent or greater gains. Or, in other words, playing not to lose instead of to win. Here we want to win the Gold. It is no use going out on parade, remember.

3. Break away from the biases and paradigms that immobilise you: Fight and commit. Win or make a mistake, but don’t stand still. Don’t stop dancing. The only thing that keeps spinning tops spinning is angular momentum. That’s the only thing that enables them to keep moving. Nobody will come looking for you. And we don’t want another pandemic in order to be at the forefront again, do we?

4. Look within yourself. Use your tools and grow. You have spent many years training yourself and you may not be using everything you know. Do you need any additional tools and knowledge? Look on the market. It is full of people wanting to help you.

5. Do you think that big achievements and advances have been reached by thinking small?  Think big. Be ambitious. Have you been told you can’t? Show them otherwise.
