Why We’re Afraid to Speak Up - Jun 9, 2007 - 2:06:32 PM
For many, in childhood, very early on, when some children wanted to, or attempted to, express their aliveness, their thoughts, their juiciness, their "wisdom", their self, they were often met with resistance, first, from their parents or immediate care givers, then from extended family, then from their teachers, perhaps from clergy and others. This reactivity may have taken the form of...

The Eternally Successful Team - Mar 30, 2007 - 3:41:33 PM
Everyone I speak with agrees with the concept of 'teamwork', yet eyes glaze over when the topic is discussed in a vacuum. More concepts and theories are not what people are looking for. Rather, good practical advice, the type that can be put to immediate use that produces quick results, gets their attention. So with that in mind, here are some teamwork tips that have worked for others...

Motivation Made Simple - Mar 17, 2007 - 8:29:14 AM
If you're a manager then you've been told at least once that you have to "motivate your people." But how do you do that? Here's what you can do to get the job done. Change your mindset. Forget about "motivating" people. You can't see motivation. Motivation is inside another person's head and heart. You can't touch it. You can't measure it. And, therefore you can't manage it.

Leadership's Most Vital T-A-S-K - Mar 16, 2007 - 11:45:22 PM

Q: I would rather walk barefoot on live coals than write memos, or any kind of business correspondence. It takes me forever and I’m never sure the finished product works. Got any tips?
A: Sure do. I’ve got five of them. But first, know that you’re not alone. Blank computer screens have paralyzed countless would-be business writers. How we envy those people who effortlessly scribble out their memos, letters and reports!

Careers and Company Culture - Mar 4, 2007 - 3:02:57 PM
Company culture?
You’d worked for the same Company since College, but now you’re changing jobs. At your old Company, you were quite comfortable. Things worked the way they should work, and everyone had the same vocabulary. You had great training and successful management habits, and these were valued and rewarded by your previous Company.
But will you be considered "inflexible" if you change employer? Haven’t you heard that folks from your Company are built from a mould that the rest of the world doesn’t really value? How do you cope with all those years of having one "cultural" mindset?
