Team-Building

• Why You Must Build Your Team by David Johnson
  Building Teams Perhaps the greatest predictor of success in business and life is a person’s ability to build a team. Nothing good happens because of a single player. Pro golfers have caddies, singers have voice coaches, and even the legendary entrepreneurs had mentors and investors. Perhaps you can be evil alone, but to build or accomplish anything worthwhile, you must have a group of indiv
• Business & Education: Great Combination!! by Dr. Robert Bliss
  Business and higher education both require leadership -- having served successfully in both enables me to bring value to a wide range of audiences.
• Cooperate VS. Collaborate by Alicia Marie Fruin
  As small business owners, we move fast, change course, and shift gears daily. Operating a small business demands that we have the ability to be flexible and change as needed. What about our employees? How flexible do they need to be? How informed? How engaged in the success of the business? How do we know they are aligned with us and the business vision?
• A Word of Bliss by Dr. Robert Bliss
  Fear of public speaking; fear of flying -- being able to overcome obstacles is a major reason why some succeed and others fall short. Effective leadership mandates the ability to succeed dispite real and perceived obstacles.
• A Word of Bliss by Dr. Robert Bliss
  "Are you the captain of the Loveboat or the Titanic?" --- proper leadership isn't easy - while you may think you are making the right decisions you may be letting others run the ship or you may be heading headlong into disaster!  Shouldn't you find out before you leave the dock??  
• A Word of Bliss by Dr. Robert Bliss
  My world is continually filled with excitement!  A background in business and higher education (President in both), has provided a platform of experience and insight that goes well beyond the norm.  Whether I'm involved with a business turn-around or a college/university dealing with management problems, it's always a thrill to be part of a successful transition.  Four words have guided me for man
• Leadership - Understanding and Learning by Dr. Rick Spruill
  There is a saying in the Army, in order to be a good leader you must know how to be led.  In my 20+ years of service to my country this saying is quite true.  As I rose up the ranks, held many positions, and ultimately held my last rank I had to understand that leading means having a certain empathy.  How can an effective leader know how to connect with their subordinates if they have never been i
• Attitude-Get One! by Al Foxx
  When you have a winning Attitude, you do everything you possibly can to prepare to win. Because you’re PREPARED to win, you EXPECT to win. The measure of how prepared a person is, is whether they are able to perform at the top of their abilities. There is absolutely nothing wrong with getting beaten by somebody who has greater abilities than your own, but there is great shame in getting beaten

• Work: Really It's ALL About Relationships by Andrea Mathews
  We tend to believe that we make our careers out of courage, confidence, talent and skill.  But while those things do help us to enjoy our jobs a lot more, really, it's all about relationships.  From the first interview with a prospective employer, to the eye contact you make with an unknown co-worker in the hallway, really, it's all about relationships.  What are you saying?  What is your body lan
• Great Leaders Know How to Say 'No' by Donnie Bolena
  Believe it or not, at one time I Donnie Bolena was a teenager, and I was also a college student. One of the hardest things that I had to deal with when I was younger was telling my friends and family "NO". Well, the truth is that by learning to say no, although you might feel that others will feel hurt or offended. (and it is possible), You are also sending a strong message that you value your
• Leader with Integrity: Is that YOU? by Dr. Rosie Kuhn
  There are all sorts of leaders and each one steps into leadership to fulfill some aspect of their context of who they should be and how they should be within their own personal belief system. This is a really important statement. Though I come into a leadership position to fulfill a particular role within the organization I bring with me my own personal belief structure that will dictate what I do

• Why Corporate America Needs "Effective Relationship Skills At Work" Training by Andrea Mathews
  Do you know when to hold 'em and when to fold 'em, when it comes to inter- and intra-office dynamics? Did you know that, when it comes to the reasons why people get fired in America, poor attitude, rudeness to coworkers and not “fitting in” rate higher than poor performance? Each of these three has to do with relationship skills. And did you know that ineffective relationship skills very often

  Did you know that, when it comes to the reasons why people get fired in America, poor attitude, rudeness to coworkers and not “fitting in” rate higher than poor performance?  Each of these three has to do with relationship skills.  And did you know that ineffective relationship skills very often become ineffective performance skills?  Worse than that is this:  None of us went to a “Relation
• Does Behavior Affect Safety in the Workplace? by Bart Gragg
  "Any landing you walk away from is a good landing." I grew up around small airplanes and larger than life pilots and had heard that quite often. Pilots are human, too. Since safety is largely dealing with the issue of problem solving - "How do we get the job done and walk away from it alive and unscathed?" it would be helpful to know how people are likely to attack a particular problem. The way pr

• Women and Teamwork in Management by Dr. Larry Losoncy
  Teamwork is in big demand these days. As a woman in management you will likely be advised to develop your own leadership style and base it on who you are.

• Business & Education: Great Combination!! Dr. Robert Bliss         posted in: Business
  When I wrote my first book there were three distinct areas of interest to leaders in business and/or higher education....leadership, accountability and motivation.  The latter being individual motivation, on overcoming  personal seemingly  insurmountable obstacles in life.  As a result, the book resulted in several speaking engagements from a wide range of audiences in both business and hig...

  96% of Americans fear one of two things -- flying and public speaking - maybe both!  However, to be successful in business or higher education, conquering the second, public speaking,  is absolutely mandatory.  And - if you are truly successful, it's probably best to get over that fear of flying as well! With my background as a university president and as a...
