Organizations, and their #Leadership needs, have evolved 🌱
Growth should nurture every member’s potential while fostering a healthy and productive space.
Which prompts a key question 👇
Saludos desde Capri, está TODA LA FAMILIA reunida y feliz… les mandamos un abrazo y la fuerza para aguantar y pelear por nuestros hijos.
Si tengo a Dios y a mi familia conmigo, pueden venir todas las hordas comunistas que quieran, aquí los espero 😎… SE VAN A TOPAR CON PARED, debieron pensarlo bien antes de meterse con los niños y con las familias de México, NOSOTROS NO SOMOS CUBA NI VENEZUELA, no queremos la #EducacionComunista de @ConcheirLuciano y @MarxArriaga!!!
Who is a high agency person you've never heard of?
Yukio Shige.
The man who's prevented 789 suicides.
One of my favorite questions to ask:
"What movie should Hollywood be making instead of endless remakes like Transformers 12?"
Yukio's story is top of that list.
Every day, he goes to a notorious suicide location in Japan: Tōjinbō cliffs.
Why?
1. Yukio's Motivation
Yukio was in the police. Towards the end of his career, he became exhausted from fishing dead bodies from the ocean
During one of his last shifts before retirement, he met a married couple on the cliffs.
They had mountains of debt.
And wanted to end their lives by jumping off the cliffs.
Yukio managed to convince them not to -- and took them to the local authorities thinking they'd help.
5 days later - he received a letter:
"You were very helpful. The authorities didn't do anything... So we'll say goodbye here"
The couple took their lives -- and it broke Yukio's heart.
Upon retiring, rather than sit back and relax as he deserved...
He decided to go to the cliffs every day.
Using his binoculars, he would look out for anyone who looked suicidal.
2. The Problem
The cliffs became a sick tourist attraction due to the number of suicides:
1. It made it difficult to spot the suicidal people
2. It was marketing itself as a place for suicide -- causing more suicidal people to go.
3. The High Agency Solution
Here's how he spots the suicidal amongst the tourist crowd:
• Won't be smiling or taking photos
• No cameras or souvenirs.
• Dark fashion colors -- and stood in more dangerous positions
Anyone who looks alarming - he will go over and start a conversation with them.
It's common that grown adults will just break down in tears immediately on the spot.
Yukio calms them down and invites them into his cafe for a chat.
He then keeps regular contact with them -- and often speaks to their family members.
His cafe is always open whenever they want to talk.
He keeps track of every life he's saved: The last public number was 789.

📢 Exciting News! 🚀
Bitter-sweet to announce that @jimQueen , CEO of Diamond SIS, has acquired Linc. While the acquisition didn't align with our original goals and projections, we are still grateful for the experience and lessons learned.
I'm very pleased to announce we have acquired the assets of Linc Learning (https://t.co/h7R3HUSSCs). The Linc app is a unique LMS that provides solutions for K-12 and post-secondary institution's Learning Center Tutor management. Linc serviced customers in the US and Mexico, marking our first international acquisition. This is a great add to Diamond's growing platform of Ed Tech products. Linc Learning was represented by Steve Kilberg of the firm West Bound Road.
@adizesinstitute Agree with direction & inspiration but not with motivation. Here is a phrase to further explain:
“It’s better harnessing a wild horse than pushing an old mule.”
People shouldn't need to be motivated 🫡
