Feel Free Read The Slinky Effect: Metaphors for Leading Innovation and Exponential Growth Kindle
When you have read the book you will have applied nine different metaphors for how a Slinky can accelerate your growth as a business leader:Emerge – setting the foundation for launching a career or a business by beginning with the end in mind and focusing on value creation. Expand – our universe and DNA are a spiral and pull us to growth. We can align that pull to growth to the value we want to create.Energize – actions alone make progress, but when we add in alignment of our energy and belief the power increases and we accelerate our trajectory to realizing our results. Empower – as leaders, we accelerate our results when we create alignment with our teams and we work together rather than single-threaded. The power of synergies are realized through empowerment.Evolve – is the story over time. This is how we see our progress in blocks of time, this is rarely measured in small units of time it is generally in quarters or years, not hours or days. Evoke – This is the capacity to tap into a capability that we had not previously identified. We can apply this to ourselves to identify untapped potential or identify that in others and work with them to bring out that potential. Explore – Curiosity is a great core capability of business leaders, it sustains growth in all aspects of our lives to see new opportunities to bring value.
