Fall 2013 Edition THE TORONTO MANAGER Page 4 Adapting to New Realities R. Douglas Williamson CIM Toronto Adaptation is the basis for all forms of human survival. It is the willingness, Board of Directors ability and confidence to adjust to circumstances as they change, and to allow other tools and senses to guide us when conditions shift and our existing reper- toire is no longer sufficient or relevant. So it is in business. When conditions PRESIDENT change, we need to alter the methods, mindsets attitudes and behaviours we use Phil Russo, FCGA, C.Mgr,, FICIA, in order to make better sense of the environment around us. We must then adjust P.Mgr., O.M.C. our course or risk sailing straight onto the rocky reef hidden by the thick wall of VICE-PRESIDENT, fog which surrounds business today. PROGRAM &MARKETING Legesse Gebeyehou, FICIA, P.Mgr., C.I.M., Throughout history, the truly great leaders have known when and how to adapt or Dip.IM., C.Mgr. pivot when the situation and the context change. They seem to have a sixth sense and know exactly the right moment at which to abandon what is no longer work- TREASURER ing and comfortably embrace new tools more suited to the conditions they find Thong Minh Tran, C.I.M., P.Mgr., C.Mgr., themselves in. It is part experience, part intuition and part luck, but successfully FIPFM, FICIA, LIFA. identifying and then navigating these crucial inflection points is the responsibility DIRECTOR OF PROGRAM of leaders. The average leader can perhaps do a respectable enough job when Shanaz Karimullah, CGA, P.Mgr., H.B.Com. conditions are normal, but it takes an exceptional leader to navigate confidently in uncertain, uncharted and turbulent waters. DIRECTOR OF P.Mgr. Peter Boos, MCE, B.A., FCIP, FRM, P.Mgr., It seems as though dangerous, pivotal moments of transformational change have C.Mgr., C.I.M. been presenting themselves with increasing frequency in recent years. The more interconnected global economy, rapid technological advances and constantly DIRECTOR OF EDUCATION evolving social, political and demographic changes have all come together to Rafail Veli. F.C.I.S., A.C.I.S., P.Adm., P.Mgr., C.Mgr., CMC., M.B.A., B.Sc., LL.B (Hons)., alter the once reliable maps we used to guide us in the post-WWII period. The LL.M. (Merit). question that should concern and even haunt us all is why, in the face of these changes, so many leaders, organizations and nations have not been brave enough, DIRECTOR OF MEMBERSHIP vigilant enough or just plain smart enough to switch tack from what may have Afolabi Oguntade, B.Sc., M.SC., MBA, FCSI, been right and relevant in one set of circumstances to a new course, better suited C.Mgr., C.I.M., AICB, STI, MTI, PMP, SSGB. to the changing conditions of the future. DIRECTOR OF NEWSLETTER Canada is a country of great wealth, whether measured in terms of our ample Wesley Spence, C.I.M. natural resources, our outstanding agricultural good fortune or our abundant DIRECTOR OF MARKETING maritime gifts. We who live here have been granted easy fortune in a world Legesse Gebeyehou, FICIA, P.Mgr., C.I.M., where many are far less privileged and less well endowed than we are. In the old Dip.IM., C.Mgr. economy, Canada’s physical assets were a source of unique economic value creation and placed us in demand as an exporter of products sought by others to DIRECTOR-AT-LARGE feed their people and fuel their own economies. Canada was a good partner with Sheila Proteau, P.Mgr. whom to trade. We were reasonable, respected and fair. We had no natural enemies or historical foes and, as a result, we were regularly called upon to be a ADVISORS peacekeeper in situations where others were not so welcome or trusted. Peter Horlock, C.I.M., P.Mgr., PE. Joan Milne, P.Mgr., C.Mgr. Larry Richman, C.I.M., P.Mgr., P.Eng. Slowly, our international role and relevance has diminished as Canada has stepped back from not only its traditional role as a recognized and well-regarded ADMINISTRATOR international peacekeeper but also as a primary source of traditional raw material Beth Mckenzie exports. Unfortunately, this happened at about the same time the global economy has matured to a point where goods, services and intellectual capital have replaced wheat, ore, fish and other natural resources as the primary engines of economic prosperity. Continued on Page 5 Fall 2013 Edition THE TORONTO MANAGER Page 5 Adapting to New Realities Continued from Page 4 It appears Canada has gone from being a virile, confident, fit and enthusiastic teenager to a much slower moving, tentative, overweight, middle aged adult in a relatively short period of only 50 years.

Further, we submit that the City of Vaughan should not condone the actions of misrepresentation by Lormel (and its related company Ozner) when selling homes to citizens operating in good faith. We therefore strongly urge the City of Vaughan to reject the proposed amendment in its totality so that the plot of land remains as originally zoned – that is – for a low rise commercial plaza. In the alternative, we ask that the City of Vaughan reject the building of the 9-storey structure specifically, and only allow for the building of townhomes on the property.
