Non-stop Rock 'n' Roll

I tend to push everything to the center of the table whether I’m at home or even in a fine restaurant – cutlery, glasses, dishes, everything. I did this for about five years; it had become a reflex. I'm not alone in this. Every seafarer has this strange habit as a side effect of working at sea.
People love watching snow-white cruising ships, associating them with pleasure and stability. They look like bright islands that nothing could affect. Fishing boats are very different. They are hardly noticed and don't look so breath-taking. For me, every fishing trawler has a tough personality formed by facing unseen challenges. You may hear music from them but most likely it will be the famous sea shanty ‘What shall we do with a drunken sailor’.
To work on these laborers of the sea, you need to have steel nerves and iron character. Fishermen face things that make astronauts sick. I truly believe that astronauts are not trained to deal with adversity as well as deep-sea fishermen.
Leadership is a Labor of Love

February 24, 2024
Living in the era of AI we neglect the fact no AI can beat or will ever change the emotions and feelings of a human connected with nature. We train AI to think like humans, but we can’t train AI to ground itself in nature. It can’t go out and ‘touch grass’. AI only reflects what we know.
Let’s look at this from the viewpoint of fishing. Fishing is not about fish. It is about interacting and learning from nature. Nature is the wisest leadership coach available and helps one to become better with every interaction. Nature is a source, not a resource.
A moment of connection with nature leads to the realization of your inner strengths.
Success in fishing comes when you become a part of nature, not a mere visitor. Success with people comes when you are a part of them and create value for them every day. Casting for fish we are revealing ourselves and learning about life and leadership where every cast is not into the water but into the core of ourselves.
We will have driverless cars, but we will never have people-less organizations. Nature helps us to remain human and to learn about others in an authentic environment. This is what AI can’t do.

We often have wrong assumptions about generations Y and Z’s desires and aspirations and continue insisting on them to repeat our mistakes, as our parents did to us.
In fact, they don’t want to repeat our mistakes and live in a rat race, they want to be in command of their own lives. The young generation wants to be important parts of something meaningful and for their energy and enthusiasm to be valued, and not to be treated as cheap labor.
I talked to thousands of young people from different countries and backgrounds and found their one common desire – they want to live a meaningful life and be in command of their success. They crave to be visionaries of their lives.
Their choice is not about the latest sneakers or corporate perks but about vision being their lifestyle and being proud of themselves.
Vision is their choice of lifestyle and there are four reasons behind this.

Who am I? What do I do? Where do I lead my people? These three are from the list of most important questions any true leader should ask themselves. These questions are particularly crucial when it comes to visionary leadership. Simply stating – ‘I’m a leader’, or, ‘I’m a visionary leader’ is too general.
Vision is a space of value that is clearly defined by a visionary leader’s promises and doesn’t tolerate vagueness. Therefore, what you do for people as a visionary leader should be clearly defined.
There are three types of visionary leaders – inventors, space creators, and people visionaries. Think where you are, or aim to be, in one of these three types.
Three Reasons Why Many Leaders Are Afraid Of The Future

Managers are responsible for the present. Leaders are responsible for the future. This simple definition draws a line between one who manages certainty and one who leads into uncertainty.
This core difference may sound simple, yet, many leaders are afraid of the future. This fear blocks leadership qualities in many people. Therefore, to create more leaders we need to understand the restricting nature of that fear and turn it into a strength.
There are three reasons many leaders are afraid to look into the future – natural fear, the comfort of the present, and procrastination in a face of the unknown.

Three Challenges That Many Businesses Face In Turbulent Times
https://ceoworld.biz/
March 04, 2023
All businesses face a myriad of problems that, like midges, suck blood and energy from them. Having problems is normal unless they turn into deadly challenges.
Challenges demand not problem-solving but solution-finding which allows for eradicating a potential threat in the long term. Finding a solution begins with pattern recognition as every challenge comes as a result of multiple serious problems and thus, they all have a pattern behind them. We can find an effective long-lasting solution to something we are aware of. In simple words, name it right before solving it effectively.
When a challenge or a grand problem is recognized, then it is a time to think and talk about solutions, not about problems. In personal or business life, we mainly hear people talk about problems. Great leaders talk about solutions. Talking about problems only causes more problems.
Through my visionary leadership coaching practice, I listen to hundreds of CEOs, top executives, and business owners from across the globe sharing the three most common challenges they all face in this turbulent time.

Corporate Superpower: Cultivating A Winning Culture For Your Business
WildBlue Press
March 02, 2018
Many organizations today find themselves stagnating, struggling just to keep up in today’s rapidly changing environment. Companies rise and fall with alarming rapidity. Employees and managers have little or no loyalty to their organizations and are always on the lookout for a bigger pay check or the next step in their own careers. All of this presents major problems for any group, whether a gas station, church or international corporate powerhouse. And they can all be traced back to one thing – culture. Culture is the soul of any organization. A strong culture breeds loyalty, innovation, and success. A weak culture will breed cynicism, apathy, instability, and the eventual demise of the organization. Yet, culture is an often overlooked aspect of business thinking and strategy. However, there are a lot of organizations with counterproductive cultures in which culture is an inhibitor, slowing down all processes and increasing transaction, governance and production costs. This issue is rarely discussed but very often faced by all of us. Positive culture can’t be maintained without such critical factors as respect, job satisfaction, involvement, loyalty, shared affection, preparedness to change, and responsibility, which defines the engagement of everyone in an organization. Teamwork, innovativeness, professionalism, accountability, shared vision, and trust form the main asset of any organization, its metaphysical resources. They define the nature of psychological power residing in culture and have direct impact on a company’s performance and achievement of its goals. Whether or not this potential is realized depends on how effectively it is exploited. In this book, a reader will learn what culture is, why it is important and how to fix it when it goes wrong. Leaders, management, as well as employees on the front lines will benefit from the discussion. This book is for those rising above the ordinary every day.

Organisational Anatomy
Cambridge Scholars Publishing
May 01, 2016
This book offers a discussion of a new management concept, “Organisational Anatomy”, which views organisational processes and functions from a biological perspective. This approach naturally explains the ongoing internal and external organisational processes and optimum configuration of different organisations. Organisations are living creatures which breathe, move, and develop inside their specific environments. Biological examples offer a useful way of making sense of complex ideas, because they can be related to everyday existence. As such, this allows the reader to intuitively understand the organisations they work at and interact with on a daily basis.
By classifying different types of organisations and looking at their biological functions, Organisational Anatomy links existing theories and discusses five archetypes of organisations – producers, knowledge-dependent, location-dependent, donor-dependent and state-affiliated organisations. By looking into their specific features, the characteristics of organisations of different ages and levels of maturity, the access and utilisation of resources, and the development of productive external relations, this book gives insight into the role of each function in achieving superior business performance.
The Organisational Anatomy approach allows the development of a holistic picture that will allow businesses to achieve higher performance and recognise problems and difficulties by considering organisational pathologies and diseases.
Organisational Anatomy gained excellent endorsements from fDi Magazine (Financial Times), UK Trade & Investment, Small Business Trends, and other top experts. Thanks to the encouraging readers’ reviews Organisational Anatomy earned a place in the Hot 100 Best Business Books (2016).
Hidden Russia: Informal Relations and Trust
Wren Publications Ltd
April 21, 2014
Breaking into the Russian market has always been a challenging task, particularly for Western organisations, and personal networks play a crucial role in achieving this. However, personal networks that exist in Russian business remain a mystery to Westerners. This has not received adequate attention from academics to-date, even though success depends upon adapting to the Russian culture and business life.
The aim of this book is to address the role of informal relations and trust in Russian society and business. Our findings provide a deeper understanding of the relationship between Russian business and personal relations, thus helping Western practitioners and investors to enter the Russian market and develop strong business-stakeholder relationships. Our intention is not to criticise or dress up the image of Russia but to provide coherent analysis and discussion on how things work there.
Hidden Russia explores the phenomenon of Russian personal networks from inside the mind of Russian business people, revealing peculiarities of the inner life, norms, trust, knowledge transfer, and entry and exit rules Russian business people regularly experience.

ERP II Implementation: Delivering Benefits Realisation
Policy Publications
December 31, 2013
This book presents a critical pathway to success for ERP II implementation. It outlines the CSF necessary to deliver a successful implementation in the form of clearly defined critical implementation pathway steps. The CSF Phasing Model has been introduced as a tool to allocate resource investments into the appropriate position within the implementation lifecycle. As a result, the CSF play a more effective role in the delivery of benefits realisation. In relation to delivering benefits realisation, the book looks at the nature of change management, how this change is managed and its association with partnership trust. In outlining CSF required during the four stages of the implementation lifecycle, the book addresses the following issues: Planning for benefits realisation, delivering the system benefits, reviewing the system benefits and exploiting the system benefits. It is equally important to know where not to invest valuable resources and this book highlights areas of resource investments deemed not to be critical for delivering benefits realisation from ERP II. Insightful feedback from consultant practitioners provides a fascinating glimpse into the perspectives of both client and supplier organisations involved in ERP II implementation. This book will help towards the delivery of benefits realisation from ERP II implementations.

Author Dennis Akkerman explains that greater things are not achieved by continuously increasing the stakes. It doesn't work to add more stress, more working hours, more pressure on others or to force things to go our way by taking shortcuts. That is a zero-sum game; we cannot gain more by draining more energy and resources; we will hit a ceiling.
Transformation starts with you; when you change, the world around you changes and this is how you increase your impact as a person and as a leader.

The article is devoted to actual problem of forming the clear vision as basic component for long-term success of the organization.

Clear vision, mission and values form the basis for building the organization's strategic foundation and allow to get the competitive advantages. Without a clearly defined vision and mission it’s impossible to specify the goals and strategy and to develop the effective action plan.
The concepts of "leader" and "leadership" are considered. Relationship with vision, mission, strategy, goals and action plan are discussed. Data of successful companies and borders for higher results achievements are analyzed. Concept of successful vision is formulated, features of successful vision are discussed.

I Am the Storm: Learning How to be a Better Leader
https://www.thoughtleadersllc.com/
May 27, 2024
We are all perfect for today and we are comfortable in it. Yet, how strong we are for tomorrow’s challenges defines our leadership capacity. Thus, leaders must grow all the time to lead a vision that is greater than we are and greater than any organization.
You nurture and develop this competence through five critical elements – the courage to think differently and boldly; constant learning, as you must learn all the time to be able to give people more and manage more complicated tasks; growing your inner excellence as leading is not physical work but psychological; be confident and credible, which is about how you deliver promises to others as without credibility your vision wouldn’t have this magnitude; creating the knowledge bank or ensure a consistent engagement and contribution of all involved in terms of growing your vision strong.
A leader must be good at making him- or herself greater – this allows him or her to think and act in a greater way.
In simple words: I must be a storm myself that is stronger than forthcoming challenges.

What Leaders Can Learn From Spending Their Spare Time Fishing
https://www.forbes.com/
May 12, 2024
Anglers, like golfers, have a happy knack of finding special places in which to indulge their enthusiasms. And, like golf, angling — especially the somewhat esoteric and challenging form known as fly fishing — is certainly one of the pursuits favoured by senior executives in their downtime. However, it is probably fair to say that few go to the lengths to indulge their passion that leadership expert Oleg Konovalov does. Trips into the Arctic in search of prize fish are a long way from the comforts of Scottish hotels or Rocky Mountain lodges.
