1st Nov. '10
Today, 1st of November 2010, our heavy duty cargo ship called NO FEAR has left from harbour. The primary purpose of this journey is clear. We try to load our vessel with ideas, opinions and PEOPLE, helping us all to grow as leaders. We can see in our daily business life that the next phase of economic growth is highly driven by the “playstation” generation, born after 1985. This generation will boost the innovations and growth as new consumers, but also as a primary source of talent for enterprises.
We are not certain about the precise route of our sea journey. What we know for sure is that the route will take us to all continents and countries. Our crew is 100% voluntary based and we do this as a true charity project. Despite we are doing this cruise as a hobby, I am not worried. We seem to have a lot of expertise, energy and also fearless attitude in our virtual ship.
We are sure, that we will meet rough seas and waves of scepticism. “Playstation generation is just a punch of youngster like I have seen already several times! Great leaders can lead whatever and whenever! You must be somehow soft (or even mad), if you try to say that I should re-think my leadership priorities. I am the leader. My people love me. FULL STOP.”
Well, we believe, that for such think-tank full stop will eventually come. But, let us say it this way, it will be a full stop in different meaning. However, our ship is not a war ship. We will not shot down these opinions. It is part of the game.
While we are coming to different harbours of knowledge and experience, please contribute to our journey. On 15th of March 2011 we will open on-line community, which gives everyone a change to contribute. Even before that, you can send your ideas to
Our estimated time of arrival is on 1st of June 2011. At that date the book describing our journey will be available in all digital formats (kindle, Apple iPad, Android Tab) plus also as printed book in Amazon and all major bookstores.
On behalf of the NO FEAR Crew,
Pekka, Portsmouth harbour
