Ask your Concierge

🤔 What question would you ask your concierge to help you shine in 2026? 🚀 

Mark at the Wes Anderson Exhibition at the Design Museum in London

🎬 Recently I visited to the Wes Anderson Archives exhibition at the London Design Museum - I’d highly recommend it!

🎞️ Wes Anderson has built an unmistakable cinematic style - one that breaks the mould through colour storytelling, handcrafted detail, symmetry and a willingness to defy convention. 

💯 Distinctive leadership, rather like Wes Anderson’s work, is rarely accidental - it’s intentional, curious and courageously creative. Remember:

1️⃣ Creativity is not a luxury - it's a leadership imperative. Current research shows that creative leadership directly shapes innovative outcomes by empowering teams to generate and execute new ideas. 

2️⃣ Breaking the mould creates conditions for growth. Studies on innovative and “rebel” leadership highlight that stepping outside conventional norms fosters autonomy, trust, and breakthrough thinking.

3️⃣ Stories are how leaders inspire belief, alignment and momentum. People crave narratives that provide meaning, direction and emotional connection - storytelling builds engagement, decision‑making and shared purpose.

💯 Wes Anderson’s films stand out because they feel unmistakably his. As leaders, our opportunity is to craft a distinctive leadership signature - one built on clarity, creativity, empathy and story-led influence.

So as you look ahead to 2026, ask yourself:

❓“If you could pick up your own concierge phone, what question would unlock your most creative, courageous and future‑ready leadership?”
