Tweetable Quotes:
“I’m afraid that leaders are not prepared… Imagine if you invest 1 billion in projects every year, then 700 million are just wasted by senior executives because they don’t know their role. They don’t know how to prioritize, and they have not adapted the structure of their organization, that culture to be more agile. They don’t know how to sponsor projects. So I think it’s just a very, very different type of leaders that we need to succeed in what I call the project economy, which is [where] most of the work is carried out through projects now, and it’s a different game, and you need to really change the type of leadership.” – Antonio Nieto-Rodriguez
“If you think about this, our health is like the head of the octopus, and then these other different facets of life are those tentacles. But that head is the middle of the essential thing… [If] it’s not functioning properly, those other facets of life are not going to function properly. ” – Julian Hayes II
