Philippe Starck, the world famous designer, when asked what he did said "I am just a producer of surprise"
Philippe, possibly best known for his spider juicer,
has in essence summed up key to engagement.
Many people would have said "Design a new juicer...you got to be joking, it's a juicer...how can you be creative with a juicer...."
Those same people would say "Meetings they are just meetings, how can you be creative with meetings or financials, or strategy or appraisals, or a reception area, etc etc"
Philippe Starck is a producer of surprise...those others are a producer of work.
So are you a producer...a manager....a bog standard plastic juicer...
Or are you a spider juicer......a leader of surprise, a manager of surprise.....one who engages through keeping the work fresh....keeping the team on their toes...constantly redefining their leadership brand.
