Notes of Wisdom Part II
 -  Posted by Deepa on Sep 14 2004 [Event]

From the the two days at The Global Brand Forum

  • Queen Victoria who allowed Benjamin Disraeli, the only commoner to shake her hand. This is what she had to say of Disraeli and his contemporary, Gladstone. ?When I am talking with Gladstone, I feel he is addressing the public media and when I am with Disraeli, I feel as though I am the smartest woman in England.? Whose company would people prefer to be in? Dr. Bennis shared this snippet on how leaders should bring out the best in people.
  • ?Be yourself and use every opportunity that comes to you. Be proud of whatever you are and whoever you are.? Dr. Kiran Bedi
  • ?Nobody can prevent you from choosing to be exceptional.? Dr. Kiran Bedi on what she learnt from her parents.
  • ?We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is a habit.? Socrates. Dr. Kiran Bedi on a principle she lives by.
  • ?We need language auditors to check the confrontational, provocative and hostile language we use.? Dr. Kiran Bedi
  • ?We are not in the coffee business serving people; we are in the people business serving coffee.? Dr. Warren Bennis quoting Howard Schultz to make the point that it is important for leaders to keep reminding people on ?what is important, what are we doing and why are we there??
  • ?You can?t stand for something if you put your name for everything.? Al Ries on branding.
  • ?Select one thing that you are good at and be known for that.? Al Ries

    Notes of wisdom
     -  Posted by Deepa on Sep 6 2004 [Event]

    From the the two days at The Global Brand Forum

  • ?Most managers search for success in the wrong place. Let?s say you want to be rich;Do what they did before they became rich, not after!? Al Ries, the Guru of Branding for those wishing to study successful people.
  • ?Being number one does not mean we will be number one next year. It is a never ending battle to keep your position.? Minister Mentor, Singapore, Lee Kuan Yew on the dangers of complacency.
  • ?To be a leader, you need to have followers.? Dr. Warren Bennis
  • ?Everything that I am, I learnt from someone else.? Rudy Giuliani
  • ?Prepare relentlessly for any contingency.? Rudy Guiliani, who learnt this from his first boss, Federal Judge Lloyd McMohan. On an average, for a one hour in court, they would prepare for 4 hours.

  • ?Leadership is personal.? Dr. Kiran Bedi (This has been reiterated by a number of great leaders.)
  • ?Be brave because the things you fight for now are the same things you will be celebrated for years later.? Francis Ford Coppola
  • ?I can call spirits from the vasty deep. Why so can I, or so can any man; but will they come when you do call for them? Shakespeare, King Henry IV, Part I. Dr. Bennis quoting his favourite author, William Shakespeare on Leaders requiring followers.
  • ?If you want to know who is running the world, check who is hiring the artists.? Francis Ford Coppola
    “You can preach a better sermon with your life than with your lips.” Oliver Goldsmith, a motto Dr. Kiran Bedi lives by.

    Global Brand Forum 2004
     -  Posted by Deepa on Aug 7 2004 [Event]

    The Global Brand Forum is around the corner again (August 16 and 17, 2004 in Singapore) and brings another stellar line-up of speakers.

    While the name would seem to indicate that the forum is about ?Building Global Brands?, there is an equal emphasis on Leadership with this year’s theme being ‘Redefining Leadership in Brands and Business’.

    The forum, one of its kind in this region is doing a great job in bringing Leaders, the world’s brightest minds to share their thoughts and debate the future of global business. It offers local organizations an opportunity to expose their people to ‘cutting edge thinking’ and get new ideas on how to distinguish themselves from competition.

    Warren Bennis; ranked as 13th most important Living Management Thinker in 2003 is one of the speakers and he will be speaking on ?Leading in an Age of Vulnerability-The Six Time Tested Competencies of Exemplary Leadership”

    He believes that the key to an organization’s survival in the years ahead will be its capacity ?to create the social architecture capable of generating intellectual capital.? And it is leadership that will be ?the key to realizing the full potential of intellectual capital.

    If you are holding a Leadership position or aspiring to make a mark as Great Leader, hear from the Great Guru in person. If you work in Singapore or in the Asia Pacific region?, try to be there.

    Another great leader whom I admire, Dr. Kiran Bedi is also featured as a speaker. If at any time you feel that you are a ?victim of your circumstances?, read about her career, seek inspiration and learn how to ?expand your circle of influence?. I intend writing more about her in another post.

    I am hoping to get a media pass to cover the event. In case I do, please stop by to read what is currently in the minds of these great speakers.
