Leading Thoughts for July 24, 2025
IDEAS shared have the power to expand perspectives, change thinking, and move lives. Here are two ideas for the curious mind to engage with:
I.
Greg Satell on change:
“To grow, you have to connect, and the more you connect, the more central you become. The more central you become, the more power you have. And with enough power, you can bring change about.”

II.
Carolyn Dewar, Scott Keller and Vikram Malhotra on changing early and often:
“No one likes change, so you need to create a rhythm of change. Think of it as applying ‘heart paddles’ to the organization. The average lifetime of an organization in 1935 was ninety years, in 2015 it was eighteen years. You have to ask the question: ‘Why should we exist ten years from now?’ It’s an existential issue to change enough, regularly enough. If you’re not doing this, you’re not going to be around.”
