First, there is ‘the form’
and perhaps you may need to refer to earlier series #1* and #2** to enable you
follow the drift. Without information about the initial form and other possibilities
there can never be transformation. Instructively, the period beginning in the 70s is
specifically referred to as “Information Age” for astute reasons. This era
ushered in innovative and astounding technological transformation. The next era
is pregnant with astronomical progress and magical touch in its appeal.
Therefore, we will be looking at
the essential role that ‘inFORMation’ plays in transformation journey in this
series. “Information is power”, so the famous quote says but that only holds
sway when we master the act and art of putting it into good effect. George
Clinton summed it up when he said that “whoever controls the flow of
information dictates our perceptions and perspectives; whoever shapes the news
shapes our destiny”.
The rationale for 'transFORMation' is summed up in the acronym E.A.R.N which stands for Education, Attention, Revenue
and Nurturing. One common denominator having utmost relevance and significant impact
across each theme is information. Undeniably, quality information is crucial
for decision making at all levels in a business entity to facilitate effective
and efficient operation. For example - of commerce and industry - Cherryh C. J
says. “trade isn’t about goods. Trade is about information. Goods sit in the
warehouse until information moves them”.
Transformation is about change.
Change is human centric. Human elements are motivated by compelling story
telling. It is the reason we love to be on the winning side rather than the
loosing side. On the winning side, the history is not only sweet but rewarding.
“Success has many fathers, failure is an orphan” that’s why most people seek to
be associated with success. It is then the burden of leadership to take
responsibility for success or failure in change management. If you must lead
well, you must be prepared never to pass the buck but to take ownership and
accountability.

Thank you Sir for another masterpiece delivered.
ReplyDeleteTake responsibility, don’t pass the buck - I have to take ownership and accountability of leading my family well, I’m responsible for what happens in my space.
My thought also goes to Nigeria and I pray we will have leaders that will not continue to pass the buck rather take ownership and accountability of the state of the nation.
