The great thing about blogging on WordPress is that the statistics give you insight into which blogs were studs and which were duds. Over the past few months I have identified an ongoing trend on certain blogs and topics and what I have found is the following: social media, selling in a down economy, corporate [...]

Leadership May Be Authentic But Does That Means It’s Good Leadership?
Posted in Employee Engagement, Leadership, tagged Authentic Leadership, Employee Engagement, Leadership, Motivating your Employees on October 7, 2009 | 1 Comment »
I have seen more and more discussion on leadership lately. In today’s world, the term “authentic leadership” implies that it’s a separate category because that’s where you get discretionary effort, etc. All leadership is authentic because it is a reflection of an individual, but not all leadership is impactful in the realm of discretionary effort, [...]

In today’s market with a challenging economy and in most cases, a slow down in sales, a sales team will take its cue from its leadership on where to spend its time. The easy messaging is to go out and sell, which may simply be a means to communicate a disconnect between corporate wants and [...]
Is Leadership A Requirement In The New Normal??

Looking back at the last eighteen months, the public has had an in-depth look at the quality of leadership in many companies. What we’ve learned is that companies can be easily derailed by the wrong management team, unclear values, etc. Looking forward, it seems as if the tide is turning in terms of leadership and [...]

In part one of this series, I talked about some key points in Netflix’s corporate culture that help them build a transparent, high performing and accountable culture. The corporate results are clear, they have enjoyed consistent revenue growth, a 26% increase in subscribers (Q2 09 vs. Q2 08) and a 21% growth in revenue (Q2 [...]
Netflix Culture: Transparent, High Performing And Accountable, Part 1
Posted in Business, Corporate Culture, Leadership, Management, tagged Business, Corporate Culture, Culture, Leadership, Management, Netflix on August 11, 2009 | 2 Comments »
After having reviewed the internal policy on corporate culture by Netflix, it makes me want to subscribe—and work there–just to be affiliated with something unique. If they are everything they say they are, they have created a working culture that is transparent, values its values as well as a hard working, team-oriented, “no jerks allowed” [...]
Is Management A Throw Away Category In Business?

It’s been interesting to hear the conversations about the quality of work satisfaction in the past year. While anecdotal, the trends seemed to move to a higher level of dissatisfaction. Job satisfaction is often a variable in a business environment—for a lot of reasons. In recent conversations however, this seems to be a fixed state, [...]

Can you have too many organizational priorities? Yup! Organizational priorities generally trickle down to management objectives and when those objectives become another full time job and/or completely take your focus off the primary job, you’ve got too many. It’s like shooting fish in a barrel. How well does that really work when you could just [...]

I recently tweeted that we should get comfortable with the word “mixed” as it will continue to get used and abused. Everywhere you look, the word is used to describe things such as housing data, market reactions, stock market results, economic data, etc. What executives and businesses shouldn’t have are mixed reactions about the need [...]
You Don’t Need To Scale Mountains To Create Teamwork
Posted in Leadership, Teamwork, tagged Leadership, Teamwork on May 12, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Real teamwork is often elusive. Individuals who come together for a project or a single goal may be singularly successful, but the true test is the sustainability of that group effort outside of a common initiative. Real, sustainable teamwork is when the group is genuinely invested in the success of each other.
