Since 1982, a mysterious 4625 kHz radio signal has been emitted from Russia. All day, every day. The radio station was formerly know as UVB-76 but is now called MDZhB. The Internet refers to it as ‘the Buzzer’.
It emits a low buzzing sound, broken every few seconds by a foghorn-like blast. Every hour (on the hour), a horn blast sounds… and sometimes, a mysterious individual says random words and numbers in Russian.
In 2013, the voice issued its most enigmatic statement to date: “Command 135 issued”.
Many conspiracy theories exist about the Buzzer, but no one has been able to decipher its meaning… nor its intent. Without a doubt though, it means something to someone… those handful of individuals who have been trained and understand it.
Understanding is the key
Whether you want to grow your skills, develop confidence, improve how your business operates, or develop a winning corporate strategy, understanding is essential.
You cannot lead without understanding yourself, your team, your bosses.
You cannot make improvements and efficiencies in your business operations without understanding processes, interdependencies, drivers and risks.
You cannot develop a winning strategy without understanding the market, geography, your company and your enemies.
Understanding does not come naturally. It takes time, effort, an objective perspective, and relevant knowledge.
