The Owners Mentality

When it comes to the Board of any organisation there is an Owner; whether the Owner is the government or the owner is somebody that actually started the organisation. That Owner has a mentality. Now the mentality of the Owner, usually is, when they start some business or organization, they want that organisation or business to prosper. They want it to thrive. Now for an organisation or a business to prosper, the people must themselves prosper. However, for the people, the workers within the organisation to prosper and to thrive, they need to understand the mission and the vision of that organisation.

And so in teaching the Owner’s Mentality, we are able to find out those employees who should not be in the organisation anymore. We will show you who to fire, who to hire and who may need to move to another department within the organization. Maybe there is a department slow in growth and is not delivering on their KPIs. They may be having problems in the department.
It could also be because they don’t want to have the Owner’s Mentality. They don’t agree with the Owner. Why are they there? They are poisonous, and they are literally toxic to the organisation.

Working with the CEO, boards of organisations, and employees

Innovative Thinking

There is no way you can be a CEO or sit on the Board and think the same way your counterparts in the same industry as are. Thinking: “What are they doing? Let’s see how many they got that. That’s our competition”
That’s not innovative thinking. That’s old, dead, past thinking. That is thinking that will cause stress and strain. We do not involve the boards we work with think about competition. We don’t bother with collaboration either. If that’s going to happen, it will happen.
Therefore, we engage in innovative thinking and innovation according to my definition is “creating something new out of what already exists.” It’s not just creating something new out of the blues, no, no, we always use what we have, to create what we don’t have. That’s innovation. So, we’re going to be looking at innovative thinking at CEO and board level.

Prototype Thoughts

We’re also going to look at “prototype thoughts.” You know, you say you create a prototype of something that you want to create soon. And so, you create a prototype of what that thing is, so it’s on a small scale.
Well, we need “prototype thoughts” because there are many people sitting on the Board who are mute, they will not talk about it. They will think of it but they will not mention it. So, we need to bring up these “prototype thoughts” even if it does not fly then. There may not be agreement at board level. It might not be time to do it but let’s have a “prototype thought” at least because it’s from the Board level that the instruction goes all the way down to the security guards through to all the other partners, directors, managers and all the way to the receptionists etc. We need to get it right at Board level. We cannot mess about at that level.

Gold-Mind Mastermind

We will create the Gold-Mind Mastermind This is a for members of the board and other members of the senior leadership team. It’s not for everyone. The Gold-Mind Mastermind is the forum where we will teach you to MINE for the GOLD on YOUR MIND because you see, there are many who have interesting thoughts. We have amazing ideas; was-never-in-a-box-before ideas. Some have ideas that are out-of-the-world ideas, innovative ideas that have never been thought of; never been considered. And just as there is a system and a style and a pattern to mining for gold 60 feet under the earth; there is a system because we no longer have a gold mines. It is no longer about gold mines. It is about the men and women who are ready, willing and able to MINE FOR THE GOLD ON THEIR MINDS. And that’s what we teach.

Gold Standard Quality Thinking

We are also going to be looking at Gold Standard Quality Thinking. There is quality and quantity thinking in Nigeria and other countries; while some are big on ‘quantity thinking’ and a lot of it; if the quality of that quantity does not reach the heights of what we call “gold standard,” then we’re not going there.
This is where our Thought Care analysis come in so that we are not running in circles. Sometimes an employee is not delivering because they have just been going around the same thing doing it the same way.
I was speaking to someone who works in a particular organisation and I asked her, “So, how is it going in your new job? Are you enjoying it?”
She answered, “It’s okay but they do not run their business with logic. What can be done via email, they hold long and unnecessary meetings, keeping us away from working.”
I can just imagine that maybe a lot of time is wasted. Doing what should not be done or doing what should be done and taking the longer rather than taking the shorter route to the same destination or goal.
It could also be that too many people have been hired to do something one or two people can do.
