There is no box

"The world is one great big giant box," Ernie commented in the middle of the networking event at Intercontinental. "You have to think outside the box," Francis retorted. "Leave the box. Step outside the box. That's how you can have creative problem solving."

My leadership approach focuses on empowering and enabling others to perform on their own and to the best o their ability. In a sense, the only real bosses for employees are themselves.

However, it must be said that not all people function well under such a system.

I believe that all people have it within themselves to be creative. I encourage everyone to get involved and experiment with new ideas. I am proud to report that some of our outstanding results came from ideas of team members who came up with a different idea and had the encouragement and freedom to follow through
