Language - One Of The Eight Pillars

It's funny how things work out sometimes. Since the beginning, 'language' has been a core pillar of People First. I've written about it from time to time, but was not intending to get into the meat for a while. Then - after last week's newsletter, I received an email that resonated in so many ways, that this week's newsletter morphed into riff on .... Language.

And then this morning, I was just browsing through some of my draft posts deciding what to publish next - and up pops this from Hugh Macleod and Gaping Void.

Why Words Do Matter

In other words, successful CEOS tend to 'get' the culture idea that language is the foundation of culture.

Hugh Macleod

Talk about the universe working in mysterious ways. Needless to say, we agree.

Now we just need to ensure that the corporates don’t takeover the language of culture as they have changed our day to day language, with their militaristic business jargon.


”You measure success by the stuff you allow in your brain.”

How funny - I emailed someone just this morning that should have had this image in there …

Just because you have a problem does not mean that the rest of the world has the same problem. So when you ‘fix your problem’ - careful you don’t break the already working and great solutions that the rest of us had.

I’m looking at you Travis Kalanick.
