It does not check where the lion is on the Performance – Potential grid

 

Every year highly qualified executives create 9 box talent grids.

And discuss the future of millions in Board Rooms.

 

The more objective the box is the more clinical it is.

Colourful, controlled like the Rubik’s cube.

No one reminds them of expectations or what else they can be.

Is it possible the answers lie outside the box.

 

“There is no official coronation ceremony held to declare lion king of jungle. He becomes king by his own attributes and heroic actions.”

Sanskrit verse
