May 4, 2025 – Realizing Empathy

Judgment vs Experience

All experiences
are.

Until we judge them.

Then and only then
may it become
Good or bad,
right or wrong.

All the words we use
mean what we mean.

Until others judge our words
good or bad
right or wrong

Peter Drucker
never said
culture
eats strategy
for breakfast.

A great strategy
without a great culture
to

But a great culture
without a great strategy
isn’t great,
either.

If you hope
to get what you want,
frame it as a problem
to solve.

If you hope
to get what you didn’t know you wanted,
frame it as a paradox
to be dissolved.

The longer
I run my own business
the more
I find what I said
when I was a consultant
lacking
empathy.
