‘Organizations must provide growth opportunities for their people, new shells for them to expand into.’

‘Becoming something new means letting go of something old.’

‘To create a new reality, we must introduce new thoughts and new practices to reinforce those new thoughts.’

‘Progress and change only happen when we accept failure and we bounce back up after we fall.’

‘By reframing our approach to mistakes, we can fail our way to success.’

‘… we are made to evolve, we are made to move.’

‘The more we expose ourselves to making mistakes in the pursuit of progress, the more opportunity we give ourselves to learn.’

‘Be patient with your transformation efforts; they take time, it is a ripple not a splash.’

‘When you have a vision, you become aware of all kinds of opportunities and serendipities that you may otherwise have overlooked.’

‘When we understand there is a positive with every negative, when we inevitably encounter a negative, we know it is temporary and a positive experience is on the way.’

‘All crises, wars, pandemics, economic downturns are just negatives in a dynamic process, there is a positive on the way.’

‘When we realise the negative experience is a rite of passage on our journey toward success, we see the obstacles as milestones, not millstones.’

How Great Companies Do Things Differently

Great companies don’t do what other companies are doing. They hire differently.

They train their people differently. They develop their people differently. They promote their people differently.

They treat their people as their people wish to be treated. Above all, they love their people.

According to Rania H. Anderson, ‘What business need now is men and women leading equally and working side by side to drive innovation, opportunity, and prosperity.’

‘Change doesn’t happen without the engagement of front-line leaders.’

‘A gender-diverse team is a competitive advantage. It may seem counterintuitive, but when you accelerate the success of women, you accelerate your own success.’

‘People everywhere are working hard to overcome their biases through intentional action and are succeeding in doing so. You can too.’

‘Change is especially hard when the status quo, our current environment, appears to be working positively for us.’

‘What’s the business case for keeping the status quo? Inequality is bad for business, and it’s bad for everyone.’

‘The most successful leaders … have the courage to take a chance on employees who may not be completely ‘ready’ for an assignment.’

‘The purpose of sponsorship is not to give advice, such as a mentor would, but to deliberately advocate that someone receive opportunities, promotions, and recognition.’

‘If you have authority or oversight for gender initiatives, ensure they are adequately funded, valued, and purified to make a real impact and not viewed as marginal or obligatory.’

‘When you work together with women, you will increase your success, drive economic growth, and improve society.’
