I was invited to a special executive luncheon at the KL Hilton, Sentral Station yesterday. Nice, cosy, quite a select crowd. Just 3 tables and fabulous food. As the Americans always say, there's no free lunch! Well, it was free yesterday, in fact there were other goodies as well, chocolates and all...hahaha. We were then given a preview of a new training program as well as a reminder to take care of our hearts. Arthur F Carmazzi was on my table. he shared with us his 5 pillars of transformational teams (unified identity, supportive environment, methodology for change, common language, and greater purpose).

Every exceptional team, it seems, has its foundations in the ability of team members to think beyond self, and cohesively take actions to attain a greater purpose. This does not involve changing the mindset of the group, but the cultivation of an environment that brings out the best and inspires the individual in that group, says Arthur F Carmazzi who has his operations based at Ubud (my favourite Bali Art Village), BALI.
