Sensei Insights & Stories

  • LIBERATING PASSION

    How The World's Best Global Leaders Produce Winning Results

    Authors: Omar Khan & Paul B. Brown, April 2008

  • NEW TEAM FACES REAL CHALLENGE – now is the time to liberate passion By Ian Nicholls

    Our belief is that a successful organisation is one in which passion flourishes and people feel engaged to contribute.  However, as we start what will be an interesting journey as a nation, one in which tough decisions are taken and tough action followed through, passion may well be in short supply.  How to achieve success and liberate passion must be high up the “worry list” of Cameron and Clegg...

  • THE NATURE OF CLIENT VALUE By Omar Khan

    Consultants often congratulate themselves gratuitously on providing great service, caring about their clients, being trusted advisers, etc and ad nauseum.

    Here is a simple but non-negotiable check-list to ascertain whether you are really providing premium relationship value — value by virtue of a client relating with you — over and above the type of general expertise that is almost certainly readily available through multiple sources...
