‘Nothing in your life gets better until your daily patterns do.’– Andy Core

Hi, my name is Bright. I am the founder of RecruitTheBest Institute, a personal and professional development platform.

RecruitTheBest Institute is about three things: Learning more, growing more, and improving more. We are not perfect. And we never stop learning more, growing more, and improving more. You can do the same. If you like what we are doing here, share with your friends.

Remember, no one succeeds alone. No one can do it all. We learn more when we learn with other people. We grow more when we grow with other people. And we improve more when we work with other people.

If you want to change yourself, if you want to change your organization (THE PEOPLE SIDE OF CHANGE), if you want to build a powerful culture, if you want to turn your organization around, let’s do it together. Let’s learn together. Let’s grow together. Let’s improve together. We can achieve greatness when we do it together.

Let’s go!

Are You Who You Say You Are?

Life is too short. The best thing you can ever do for yourself is to be true to yourself. It is to be there for you.

Because when things are tough, when you are down, when you need a real human being in your life, you are all you will see. That is why you should be there for you. That is why you should never forget who you are, who you were created to be.

Because you are responsible for your life. You are responsible for your failures. You are also responsible for your thoughts. Yes, you cannot control everything. But you can control yourself.

So what does it really mean to control oneself? How does it look like? You are responsible for your life when you know who you are. Because you cannot be responsble for what you do not know.

Knowing yourself is the beginning of your new life. When you know yourself, when you know who you are, you are not afraid of your past. You are comfortable with yourself.

When you know who you are, you are not afraid of what life will throw at you in the future. You are ready, always ready!

When you know who you are, you are not perfect, but you are always happy.

When you know who you are, you are just you, no one else. When you know yourself, you know what you are good at. You don’t pretend to be who you are not.

When you know who you are, you know what you are not good at. You know that you can’t do it all. You know where you need help, and you are not afraid to put yourself out there.

When you are who you are, you are not defined by your past mistakes. You are there for others when they need you.

When you know who you are, you are not selfish, but you are aware.

Finally, you are who you say you are when you know who you are. You are not who you say you are when you do not do what you say you are going to do.

Remember, every day is a new day. So you can change things. Why not now?

How To Manage Risk, According To General Stanley McChrystal And Anna Butrico

‘The greatest risk to us as individuals, and to our organizations, is us.’

‘We can’t control the emergence of threats– but we can make our organizations less vulnerable.’

‘Communication allows the Risk Immune System to work. Get this right or we fail.’

‘When our narrative is misaligned to our purpose, values, or strategy, we invite risk into our organization.’

‘Structure enables or inhibits the effective functioning of any organization’s Risk Immune System.’

‘Understanding structure’s impact on our processes and culture, positive or negative, is critical.’

‘As technology continue to evolve, so must we. This means cultivating an active awareness of the ways in which technology shapes our processes and culture.’

‘Leaders don’t necessarily have to know all the answers, but they should be focused on asking the right questions, gathering a diversity of thought in the room to make the best decisions for their team.’

‘Diversity isn’t a nice-to-do, it’s a need-to-do. Different perspectives and skills increase our effectiveness. Achieving diversity requires deliberate action.’

‘Ultimately, what we do (or don’t do) determines the outcome.’

‘A correct response to a threat can be entirely ineffective if poorly timed. Acting too early can be as wrong as acting too late.’

‘Every threat is different- so too must be our responses. Constantly changing threats demand continuous adaptation.’

‘The Risk Immune System is an organic process but it does not function automatically. Leadership is essential to orchestrate the interactions and synergy of the Risk Control Factors.’

‘Readiness for risk is less a function of accurately predicting specific threats and more about building resiliency into the organization through a healthy Risk Immune System.’

‘Effectively strengthening the Risk Immune System first requires understanding where it is strong and where it is weak.’
