Another very interesting read from our colleague, Ronnie Clifford.

Mike and I met up with Ronnie recently and we discussed the essential need to tackle the 'people dimension' present in technology change projects. Our experience tells us that individuals, teams and leaders can make or break an IT project and that is why Flex/50 ethos is to think about these issues and engage with them in our work.
Ronnie discusses 4 leadership disciplines:
- to welcome creativity, innovation, and breakthrough thinking
- to take the time to be still and present ... so that we can be curious about what is happening in the system
- to balance the being and the doing of leadership
- to know who you are and what you stand for.
It's well worth reading Ronnie's blog and I encourage everyone to consider the 'people dimension'.
