In Japan, koi are called “Nishikigoi”, which means “swimming jewel” – such is their beauty and collectability.
They can be hugely expensive – but are equally sort after by collectors.
The top collectors understand all-round koi care.
Whilst collectors recognise that finding the right koi is part of a successful collection, more effort, energy and investment is put into the koi’s environment.
Without that environmental investment, the koi’s natural beauty – its colours, size and vibrancy – won’t shine.
Neither will it flourish if we take it out of that environment, clean it and lavish attention, then return it to the same environment.
The same is true of our people.
Taking them away from the environment for the best leadership development, sales training, etc. without investing in that environment can reduce the impact of that training.
Don’t just clean the koi; clean the pond.
