The complexity of digital transformation shows how fragile progress can be when business strategy, technology, and human skills are not aligned, since each gap magnifies the others and turns innovation into a continuous exercise of resilience.

You can’t buy THIS performance advantage.
But you can build it.
Here’s how...
ALT A screenshot essay titled 'The Secret Investment of Top Leaders That Has Nothing to Do With Money.' The text discusses the concept of psychological capital, emphasizing the importance of inner resources like hope, efficacy, resilience, and optimism for effective leadership under pressure. It explains that true leadership is not just about financial management, but about how leaders cultivate their psychological strengths. The essay includes bullet points defining each psychological capacity: Hope for strategy, Efficacy for execution, Resilience for recovery, and Optimism for sustained momentum. It encourages readers to view their inner resources as valuable assets that can multiply their potential and effectiveness as leaders.

Action bias. Football goalkeepers will jump to the left or right when facing penalties, even though statistically they'd be better off just staying in the middle. Action bias is the tendency to choose action over inaction, even where there's no indication that taking action will help. We tend to (falsely) equate activity with productivity & keeping control. We see action bias frequently in the improvement world. When results don't come quickly, leaders will want more changes, rather than waiting for the improvements to work their way through the system. Deliberately deciding to do nothing is a good practice/skill that improvement leaders need: thedecisionlab.com/biases/ac…. By @TheDecision_Lab

The final level of intelligence is pretending you don’t know anything just to make your life easier.

It's not the lack of intelligence, it's the lack of focus that is stopping you.

In improvement work, we typically choose to focus on the quality of (siloed) parts of the system (eg, a testing or treatment process). Yet the biggest opportunities lie in improving the quality of intersections between parts of the system. Similarly, the breakthroughs that lead to the greatest innovations are at the intersection between different domains of thinking. AI is going to help speed this up through synthesis - taking prompts that merge information from separate realms. The future of improvement, of innovation & of work lies in intersections: linkedin.com/pulse/next-futu… Via @FerraroRoberto @gbolles

Our systems need to change, which means we have to prioritise innovation. Innovation will only happen if we create the conditions for it. @Digitaltonto sets out nine "rules" of innovation:
1) Innovation is a drawn out process, not a single event
2) Innovation is combination
3) First, ask the right questions
4) There's no optimal size for innovation
5) Seek partners beyond your own capabilities (open innovation)
6) Disruptive innovation needs new business models
7) Follow the 70:20:10 model
8) Use platforms to widen and deepen connections
9) Collaboration is the best way to compete

We might think that being a perfectionist leader is a positive thing; it means we work to high standards & strive for excellence. But it isn't. Perfectionism has an overarching detrimental effect at work. It's exhausting & it predisposes us to harsh judgments of others who are less than perfect.
