George Hand
After decades in the trenches of business, I've learned that leadership isn't about titles, profit or applause. It's about people, hard decisions, failure, faith and what remains when we walk away. I'm an entrepreneur, a Christian and part of The Gathering in Northumberland. Here I'll challenge comfortable thinking, share lessons earned the hard way and explore what it means to lead with courage and purpose. I haven't got all the answers, but I've stopped pretending easy answers exist.

Our future Business and home life or our de-personalised life
Our future business and home life or our de-personalised life.
When unemployed you are your CV or your online profile, either two pages of script or 300 words contain you and an AI decides if you are a "fit", a fit to what? To fill a box, role, need. The saying WYSIWYG is apt in its fullness and so wrong in its labelling. The person is more than the paper, profile or characters but companies make "value" decisions on the future of there business via these virtual people representations.
The correct fit for your "box" means you are building a uniform structure that will struggle to adapt to modern-day life, and the right hire to develop your company as just been scrubbed, due to the lack of picking up the phone, invest in the hiring process, don't take the human out off it.
Life can be filled out by computer-driven interactions, online shopping, online dating, online chat rooms, online church, online banking. I know there are much better "lettered." individuals who have taken this up as a cause, but this real, live person would rather live a life where you need to interact with people to bring the richness that is life back and enjoy a coffee from a barista and build companies with people, not boxes, and goals and vision, not needs and requirements.
Bring back humanity to your life and to others, we owe it to ourselves and to humanity, life is precious and fought for every day of our existence do not waste it, use it fully, explore it passionately, share it furiously.
Be blessed
