The market exists in our minds. Spatial and physical markets are exactly aligned with our brain’s perceptions. If you think small, the market remains small, and if you think big, the market expands. To broaden people’s perceptions, my thoughts must first be large and powerful. When my thoughts collide with those of others, perceptions shift, and markets fluctuate in sync with these new perceptions. That’s why we want to use media to send our messages to the public. It’s also why I need to examine my thoughts carefully before developing markets and understanding them. If I think small, the market also shrinks. Think big and powerful. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
A venture company president established an environment that encouraged open dialogue to foster an honest organizational culture, yet soon after, the company’s structure fell apart. Honesty can often be painful. To minimize the hurt caused by honesty, it is crucial to consider who delivers the message. In other words, if a respected individual speaks candidly, people are likely to feel less discomfort. Organizations can falter if honesty is prioritized over a culture of respect. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
