At a recent meeting a senior executive shared the impact that an environment of fear (or \u201cshaky hands\u201d as he described it) had on causing the company\u2019s leadership team to make a disastrous financial decision. They had consciously departed from established decision-making processes to a knee-jerk reaction to a critical issue. He went on to share the horrific details and impact of the company\u2019s actions.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
When he had completed the detailed explanation, with a calm voice he asked:\u00a0 \u201cHas anyone seen the movie Casablanca<\/i> with Humphrey Bogart?\u201d A number of hands raised.\u00a0 He thank asked: \u201cHas anyone heard of the Casablanca Axiom?\u201d No hands responded to his question.\u00a0 The executive said that there was one line that all great leaders should always remember to ensure a highly successful, valued-lead journey \u2013 in all decisions great and small.\u00a0 The axiom is beautifully captured in the movie song\u2019s simple line:<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cThe fundamentals things apply as times goes by.\u201d<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
May you also hold these words closely to you throughout your life\u2019s journey, a reminded to live always out of your principles and values, from your own core\u2026 as time goes by.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Have a beautiful day and a magnificent week!!!<\/span><\/div>\n
