  • Why is it critical to pen down a “Just Cause”?

    A visionary founder’s instinct cannot be passed on from one generation to another.

    Only when a vision in the form of a “Just Cause” is preserved on paper , can it be handed down from generation to generation.

    Like the American Declaration of Independence which is a written statement of Just Cause , a written version of a Just Cause will survive to guide and inspire future generations beyond the founders and those who knew the founders.

    Adopted from Simon Sinek’s book The Infinite Game.

  • How does an ideal “Just Cause” journey look like?

    “An idealized journey of a Just Cause feels like – no matter how much we have achieved , we feel we have further to go.A just cause if is like an iceberg , all we ever see is the tip of that iceberg.”

  • The DNA of ethical decisions

    “Ethical decisions are not based on what is best for the short term.They are based on the “right thing to do”

    Whereas short-termism at the expense of ethics slowly weakens a company “doing the right” thing slowly strengthens it.

    Adopted from Simon Sinek’s book The Infinite Game.

  • When leaders compromise work culture for meeting priorities

    Finite minded leaders with a bias towards “resources” before “will” willingly adjust their cultures to meet their priorities.

    People are pitted against each other in such a low trust work culture which can eventually lead to ethical fading.
