The Nair Narrative - Lessons in Leadership

3 Sources of Power to make Strategy a Success

Ever feel like you're just treading water in business, unsure of your direction? Allow me, Amir Nair, your guide in the realm of strategic planning and management, to pull you onto firmer ground.  This episode starts with a journey back to my training days in a Pan-Asian kitchen, where a wise Japanese chef taught me an important lesson about strategy - the art of observation. As we delve into Hoshien-Kandri, a Japanese systematic approach to aligning vision with strategic goals, you'll better understand how to plot your course by truly grasping the lay of the land. Then, prepare to be inspired by the impressive strategy of ReCircle, a startup unflinchingly facing the colossal issue of plastic pollution. We explore how their unique resource recovery ecosystem is not only tackling this environmental crisis head-on, but also empowering businesses to make a positive impact while achieving their sustainability goals.  Leaning on blockchain technology, ReCircle has created a traceable reverse supply chain for plastics that is revolutionizing the recycling process.  As we wind down this episode, remember this poignant quote from Michael E. Porter, "The essence of strategy is choosing what not to do."  Tune in and let's strategize together.
