Top Talent’s Manifest - Redefine Leadership.pdf

This manifesto is seven years old, and a lot of it has aged well. The question is not whether anyone calls themselves “top talent”, but whether organisations are actually willing to build the leadership and culture such people expect: purpose, autonomy, growth, and leaders worth following.

1. I do not choose to be a common employee. It is my nature to be uncommon.

2. I seek challenges - not security and I expect to grow every day.

Every website seems to need a first post, so this is mine.

I have no grand plan for this blog. I mostly want a place to write down things I notice, ideas I am still working through, and connections that seem worth exploring.

Some will come from work. Others from technology, investing, travel, books, or ordinary moments that make me stop and think.

I expect some opinions will change over time. That is probably part of the point.
