One Apple A Day #304
Breathe in. Breathe out.
Inhale and Exhale.
The act of breathing is amazing.
Lately, this dance of air comes out often in my conversations.
In particular when I discuss innovation.
Like breathing, Innovation is a vital function of every organisation.
And, like breathing, most of the time innovation happens even if the company is not aware of it.
Fresh ideas and people flow in from outside, and the toxic and obsolete ideas and processes are breathed out.
The word innovation comes from the old Latin and means to change or renew something that already exists.
And breathing is a continuous renewing process.
Breathing happens naturally.
You don’t have to “command” your body to breathe.
It just happens.
However, if you are aware of it, you can really get the best out of it.
Taking care of your breath has incredible benefit for your body and your mind.
On the other side, if we have issues breathing the whole body suffers. You will have less oxygen in your blood, less energy. You won’t be able to expel the toxins from your body. The renewing process of your blood will slow down, until one day it will stop.
It is true also for your organisation.
Are you aware of how your company is breathing?
