Conversation with Rick Williams – Creating the Future - By Rick Williams

OK – I am asking you to take a moment and listen to my conversation with Tom Doorley on his podcast, Navigating the Fog of Change.

This link goes to YouTube. If you listen to another podcast channel, find “Navigating the Fog of Change Podcast.” Look for the Create the Future with Rick Williams episode.

Tom asked me to talk about why I believe a leader’s primary responsibility is to create the future for their company by the decisions they make today. We talked about making smarter and better decisions by slowing down and engaging with your team and key advisors.

Tom and I worked together when we were management consultants with Arthur D. Little – many moons ago. I followed Tom’s amazing career including being chief strategist for Deloitte and now leading Sage Partners, a strategy and governance advisory firm.

Our conversation was not “just a podcast interview.” It was a deeply personal conversation between friends. We talked about where we are as a society, where America is going, and what we can do as individuals during a time of conflict and change.

Take a moment while having lunch, driving to work, or walking your dog and hear directly from me why I wrote Create the Future, why leaders need to be both decisive and vulnerable, and why I say that Donald Trump has poor leadership skills.

You will hear more in the coming weeks about my podcast, Create the Future with Rick Williams. We are stepping up the presentation quality of these important conversations with leaders who made difficult decisions for their organization. My guests are the star of the show.

You will get a more complete understanding of my views and where I am coming from by listening to my conversation with Tom Doorley. HERE

Canoeing on the Mystic River

Summertime and the livins easy. I try to find those special easy livin moments during the summer riding my bike or being on the water.

These canoes are on the Mystic River in Medford, Massachusetts. A short walk from this section of the river is where many clipper ships were built for the China Trade. The Mystic River flows into Boston Harbor near where the USS Constitution is docked in Charlestown.
