Le progrès
Encore une bonne lecture de Joseph Facal.
Pour moi, le progrès, c’est plus de prospérité pour le plus grand nombre. C’est viser collectivement l’excellence. C’est aider ceux qui sont vraiment mal pris, qui ne sont jamais ceux qui crient le plus fort.

Décisions d'investissement chez Rio Tinto
We start from the proposition that we are not strategic capital allocators; we are bottom-up capital allocators. We invest not by choosing the commodity in which to put money but by choosing the project in which to put money.
[...]
Finally, our experience is that regular investments—as opposed to one-offs—succeed better. That’s also true of divestments. It’s the same principle as time–cost averaging.

StandOut
Provider and Advisor
Your comparative advantage: YOU'RE A ROCK.
Your broad shoulders can readily bear the weight of many different people coming to you with many different problems. And because those people sense that you genuinely care about their problems--rather than merely caring about pure competence or social influence or creative genius--they follow your guidance. The impact of your advice is vitally important to you. Did your solution or suggestion have the intended result? Did it improve people's experience, advance their agendas, or solve their issues? You need to have access to this information, so you're diligent with your follow-up, always from a sincere place of genuine care.
The greatest value you bring to the team:
Your pointed counsel and unwavering support, and the trust these build.
Provider: You sense other people's feelings and you feel compelled to recognize these feelings, give them a voice and act on them.
Advisor: You are a practical, concrete thinker who is at your most powerful when reacting to and solving other people's problems.
