Bluerock Consulting in the midst of an internal evolution

Thought Leadership
First appointment – What to wear?
How many of your people go to a first appointment with the only thought that they should “look smart”? And how many of your people go to a first appointment unaware that how they look and are received could change their fortunes and those of your company?
(Peter Landau - Intelligent Dressing)
Unconscious incompetence
The phrase was coined with reference to the behaviour of managers who are genuinely unaware of the damage that they do to their workforces or their organisations.
(Peter A Hunter - Author of Breaking the Mould)
