1 Sometimes organizations go stale and need the so-called outlier - the "shot in the arm" of someone who can think differently, see things from different angles; read between the lines, tell the fresh stories.

2 An outlier’s view is upon how to see things from different angles, keep a certain distance from the environment you observe or experience.

3 Visionary is often an outlier - the one who steps out of a conventional thinking box, or linear patterns. Therefore, they can see things further or deeper.

4 An outlier’s mind is magnetic to attract even “polar opposite” viewpoint as every wise thought always has an opposite thought not less wise.

5 Outliers have an open mind that holds onto its beliefs while being prepared to consider other perspectives should they make sense.

6 An outlier’s mind is skeptical with good reasons: A skeptical mind dares to ask tough questions, is able to assess the value of new evidence and act accordingly.

7 Outliers do not follow rules blindly, they are confident to keep asking, "why? why? why?" Outliers have the interdisciplinary knowledge, and their imagination is not constrained by the knowledge, they have a growth mind, leverage critical thinking, and creativity.

8 We all have our own bias, some have more, some have less. Thus, we all should desire to become the “outlier” in a certain area, broaden our points of interest and try new things to extend our thinking box.

1 Self-discipline is about disciplined thoughts. Thoughts are single pointed and focused to whatever you do.

2 Self-discipline is what supports that moral courage and allows us to act in the right manner. Self-disciplined people have better clarity of thoughts and, therefore, do not get carried away by the herd mentality.

3 A self-disciplined mind has more awareness of thoughts and actions. Awareness is at the level of the energetic connection between Heart and Mind.

4 Without self-discipline, you do not manage to transform negative habits and you do not create a new state of awareness where the self is nourished through the experience of positivity.

5 A self-disciplined mind is good with some flexibility and fine-tuned to the circumstances. If self-disciplined people start expecting others to be like them, they no longer remain "self" discipline.

6 Self-disciplined people are more influential because more often they can harmonize their mind, their heart, and their action, to put simply, walk the talk.

1 Transparency, as used in science, engineering, business, the humanities and in a social context more generally, implies openness, communication, and accountability. Transparency is operating in such a way that it is easy for others to see what actions are performed.

2 Transparency is a fundamental factor for performance. A prerequisite for transparency is trust.

3 The transparency is to transform the organization into the system approach,not through command-control hierarchy only. It has to be implemented systematically and communicate democratically.

4 Transparency doesn’t mean to be compliant only, or being too “direct,” too straight, or even too “rude,” lack of strategy or profundity.

5 If transparency is the wind under performance’s wing, then, the effective way to transparency is through communicating, communicating and communicating.

6 Transparency can help leaders tell a story of the journey from current state to future state, of improvements, of accomplishments, of enablement with business strategies, etc. It's definitely a great core competency to leverage

8 Generally speaking, transparency enforces trust in the organization. You could supervise with control of every move. But to build trust, it is really important for teams as every member is always aware of how the whole process is going on, what results have already been achieved.

9 Digital technology makes the world more open and transparent than ever, at the organizational level, businesses are always on and hyperconnected, there is no shortcut, transparency is a must. But the word of caution: transparency can be a double edged sword if the audience doesn't understand and embrace the intent in the right spirit.
