Everything is directed by Value - Rambli

We get frustrated when we undertake activities when we cannot see the value they derive. Inevitably this is the response of our team as well. Everyone wants to be doing things of value. The goal then...

Trust and Experience - Rambli

Someone can tell me that putting my hand on fire is going to hurt. I don’t need to experience it for myself – whether I know you or not – I’ve seen what it can do to a piece of wood and can draw the...
