Rebels Think Differently
Rebels in business suits think differently. That’s what makes them different.
They don’t like rules, they aren’t great with hierarchy and they don’t like conformity. That doesn’t mean that they can’t and won’t work within systems or use processes if they see a purpose - but they will not put up with rules for the sake of rules.
They challenge the status quo. Just because it’s always been done or said (or whatever) a certain way since forever is not a good enough reason for a ‘rebel in a business suit’ to keep things the way they are. They push things, people, organisations and the world forward and that makes others uncomfortable.
Their thinking sometimes gets them feared or villified. But they move forward regardless of the fears or dislike of others - understanding that, above all, they must be true to themselves. It is only by being true to themselves that they can be true to the people around them.
They are innovators and pioneers, willing to break moulds and push the boundaries of ‘accepted’ thinking. They embody George Bernard Shaw’s words in that “most men see the world as it is and say ‘why’ but I dream of things that never were and say ‘why not’?”
They understand that the world is changing and that we are about to enter a new age which is moved by a different set of values. It is because they relate to those values that makes them unique thinkers and the new leaders for a new age.
They see the power of connection, of community, of collaboration and nurture and they are active in seeing these values being ingrained in their businesses and corporations.
It is this thinking that imbues them with a compelling presence and energy and makes them new leaders of this new age.
