Sean Connery was told early in his career to "lose the Scottish accent".

Founders can be strong-willed nonconformists. You need that to want to build something new. Sean had to be one to stand up for himself or we wouldn't have had the actor and movies we all love.

We all have our differences, our idiosyncracies, our strengths and weaknesses.

To build an incredible team or company or band, you have to respect those, bind people together, and make the most of them.

I just spent three weeks making posts inspired by events taking place on that day. You got to vote on what I posted about. Today's post was inspired by Sean Connery's birthday, Reading Festival, Red Head Day and Be Kind to Humankind Week.

The lists came from Hena Husain's The Content Architects.
