Summary

Have you heard of Mike Lazaridis? Probably not - but perhaps the story would be different if he had been open to change. Mike is the founder of Blackberry, who in 2009 had complete market dominance but by 2014 had only 1% market share. There are many lessons we can learn from Blackberry's demise - that 'what got you here won't get you there'. How comfortable are you with being wrong? Are you willing to rethink your beliefs and embrace change? PiXL Pearls are short reflections on life and leadership, in schools. They are here to inspire, encourage, motivate, and challenge. PiXL is a partnership organisation of thousands of schools, colleges and alternative education providers spanning KS1-5.
