I first heard his music in a YouTube Short not too long ago\u2014while trying to watch how to make Nepali cauli aloo, and there was this beautiful song playing in the background and it made me look up the song. I suppose there are many ways to discover music these days, once of which is while trying to cook the food you want to eat.<br><br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=AZeCxY5yHUY\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=AZeCxY5yHUY\">Seth Godin<\/a><\/strong>: My natural comfort zone lies in tactics. I like fixing things. I\u2019m wired that way. But lately I&#8217;m trying to embrace something I\u2019ve always resisted: strategy. For some reason, I\u2019ve always disliked the concept of strategy. Maybe because I\u2019ve been part of too many \u2018strategies\u2019 that looked good on paper but fell apart in execution. So over time, I began to associate strategy with failure, with fluff\u2014something disconnected from results. But lately, I\u2019ve been relearning what strategy actually is. And the more I understand it, the more I realize: strategy isn&#8217;t about planning or managing\u2014it\u2019s about direction. It\u2019s your compass. As Seth Godin says, \u2018It doesn&#8217;t matter how fast you&#8217;re going if you&#8217;re headed in the wrong direction.\u2019 So here I am, working hard to think more strategically\u2014to see the big picture, to weigh risks, outcomes, and long-term impact. It\u2019s still a struggle. It\u2019s uncomfortable. But I\u2019m grateful for the abundance of resources out there\u2014especially voices like Seth\u2019s\u2014that help guide the way. <br><br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fastcompany.com\/91345281\/multidimensional-leadership-at-work\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.fastcompany.com\/91345281\/multidimensional-leadership-at-work\"><strong>Multidimensional leadership<\/strong><\/a>: In a world where people are forced create their niche personal brand, the most powerful leadership comes from those who embrace their full dimensionality.
