New Zealand Wine’s Post

Let’s explore how we can modernize our wine clubs in a way that parallels the evolution of media consumption.

🍺 Thursday’s beer/leadership musings: Scott Ko post from last week reminded me of the Australian song ‘love to have a beer with Duncan’. And the reason why we love a beer with Duncan? (All together!) “Coz Duncan’s me mate” Except, with Duncan, I’m having ‘safe’ conversations. They don’t venture into new places and certainly don’t challenge my current thinking. They reinforce my existing frameworks + approaches, rather than provide an alternative perspective. Even the beer is known. It’s all a bit ho hum. But to have a beer with someone who thinks differently to me - that might expand my thinking, create different perspectives and opportunities. I’d get to try other beer too. It’d be stimulating. It's a risk, but not a very big one. its a stepping stone to…. ? In leadership, we refer to this as 'safe challenge' or 'stretch'. For our staff and also ourselves, our organisations and industries. If you’re someone with an alternative perspective, experience or thought pattern, let’s have chat and maybe a beer. Cheers 🍻

The Parable of New Wine into Old Wineskins teaches us a crucial lesson about growth and capacity: New Wine Needs New Wineskins: Just as new wine continues to ferment and expand, so too do our skills, ideas, and personal achievements. Pouring this 'new wine' into 'old wineskins'—outdated frameworks or mindsets—risks wasting these valuable gains. As we grow, so must the environments and mindsets that contain and nurture our new realities. Risk of Using the Old: Using old wineskins (i.e., old ways of thinking or outdated practices) not only stifles growth but can also lead to regression or loss of what has been gained. Like the old skins, they can burst, causing loss of both the wine and the wineskin. Avoid the risk by continually evolving your approaches and strategies. Nurture Your Development: As you acquire new skills and heal from past traumas, ensure you have the right support systems—new wineskins—that can handle the pressures of new wine. Protect and maximize your growth by fostering environments and mindsets that embrace change and innovation. #PersonalGrowth #ProfessionalDevelopment #Innovation #MindsetShift #NewBeginnings #Leadership #ChangeManagement #SelfImprovement #EmotionalHealing #VisualMetaphor #SuccessTips #ContinuousImprovement #WineSkins
