Why Radishweed?

It started in the garden, I pulled out what at first looked like a weed. Too late, I realised it was a beautiful radish. Never knowing what it could have been, I ended its chances to flourish.

It struck me how often this happens in business. Healthy, productive, brilliant ideas exist in companies. Many in the middle layers, where much of the problem solving is done.

How often do we, as executives, terminate those ideas before they flourish? Do we recognise these? Do we create an environment where these ideas are nurtured, fertilised and cared for?

Do you have a radish that you’re growing? Perhaps your own business idea? Radishweed Global is here to help it grow.
