We humans are basically pack animals. We surround ourselves with many of the same faces day in and day out. Over
time, that familiarity tends to limit our clarity and curiosity about our “pack mates.” We inadvertently discount their ideas
and contributions, often in small ways that can really add up. It’s as much a problem for leaders as it is for others. It’s
in our nature that, without extra effort, the better we know someone the less real-time awareness of their value we will
have. I don’t like to call this… MORE
Revaluing Your Pack Mates
David Peck
Much has been written on the topic of coaching employees. (One of my favorites is a book we published a few years
ago by Daniel Harkavy. It is called Becoming a Coaching Leader: The Proven System for Building Your Own Team of
Champions.) But very little has been written on the topic of coaching your boss. The truth is that most employees see
things that their boss says or does that are ineffective or inefficient. Sometimes, they see these things more clearly
than anyone else. The boss could… MORE
How to Coach Your Boss
Michael Hyatt
If you’ve ever asked yourself, “What’s the matter with them? Why don’t they get it?” or said, “I feel like I am alone
here,” maybe they are listening more to your actions than your words. Culture explains how things really work. Culture
reflects practical values—values that will get you through the day regardless of what you say you believe. When it
comes to preaching values, too many leaders are just talking heads. Preach change, demonstrate status quo.
Changing culture in an organization is often difficult because leaders make it so. MORE

One of the key traits of great leaders is their ability to move forward despite the difficulties they face. They not only find
ways for their own progress, but also find ways to help others along the way. Enduring success happens over time, bit
by bit, day by day. The true definition of success is duration. Finding the will and the inner strength to keep going is
crucial to progress. The following actions provide focus on long-term goals: Take initiative: Volunteer for new
assignments that no one wants to do. Don’t be afraid to do work that seems beneath. MORE

George tries not to let it bother him, but when he walks by Sarah’s desk,
and sees her Facebook account open he wonders, “Why isn’t she doing
her job?” Susan sees half of her team seemingly always on their cell
phone —not talking on the phone, but sending text messages, and she
wonders if all of those could possibly be business related. Whether it is
Facebook, Twitter, You Tube, instant messaging on the computer, or any
of those, plus texting, many managers wonder what they can do, what
they should do, to curb or manage the amount of time people are
spending, at work, on these activities. MORE

There are three stages to implementing sustainability initiatives in an organization, each
requiring different organizational capabilities and leadership skills, according to Christoph
Lueneburger, who leads the Sustainability Practice at Egon Zehnder International GmbH, and
Daniel Goleman, an author, psychologist and science journalist, in an article written for MIT
Sloan Management Review.
Those three stages are: Phase 1: Making the case for change; Phase 2: Translating vision into
action; Phase 3: Expanding Boundaries. Here’s why… MORE

Environmental Leader

Today’s successful organizations are led by talented leaders who have high expectations for their organization, their
employees and most importantly, for themselves. In many cases, long before they received their title, these leaders
were demonstrating their leadership capacity by leading themselves. What do we mean when we talk about leading
yourself? When you are a successful self-leader, you typically achieve the following: A Compelling, Positive Vision:
There are three types of vision: A positive vision: Today is good and tomorrow will be even better. MORE
To Lead Others, Start with Yourself

One of the most prevalent things about many leaders is they make sure things get done. That is usually why they have
risen to a position of leadership. It can be that they have been diligent in tasks when they were a level or two below
where they are right now. Perhaps it’s that they were able to rally people around a common cause and a greater
purpose was accomplished. Whatever the form, the end result is the same. There is another instance in which a leader
may make sure things are getting done, but it actually hurts the process and destroys morale. MORE

I’m not sure of the origin of the aphorism, “We see things not as they are, but as we are.” I’d like you to think about
this for a moment with respect to your customers and how they buy. Actually there are two levels to consider: Your
Customers, meaning that set of businesses to which you would sell your products or services, and an individual
customer. (For this post I’ll use the following convention: Uppercase “C” for all your customers and lowercase “c” for a
single customer.) MORE
Effective Selling Starts with the Customer
Dave Stein
While most eyes are on Washington DC and Wall Street to judge the health of the economy or to propose plans to that
will “solve the problems”, everyone that reads this blog knows nothing happens unless a salesperson sells something!
I am firmly convinced that the VP of Sales, Sales Director, or Sales Manager are the linchpins that drive the growth of
any organization. They set the direction, culture and create the intensity required for success, in today’s economy it is
our responsibility to jump start your business that will in turn impact others… MORE
