• United Were Not, Devided We Are by Donnie Bolena
  Do you remember the reaction on 9/11/2001 from "Our Country tis of thee, Sweet Land of Liberty? I do, I remember owning a small delivery company in my hometown of Jacksonville, Florida. Do you know what the number one item I was delivering each and every day? It was the American Flag, it was Flag poles, I had more work then I could keep up with. This was only a second job for me to make some extra
• 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
• The Mosque at Ground Zero is a Slap in Americas Face! by Donnie Bolena
  The Mosque at Ground Zero is not only a slap in our face, but it is also a dagger in the Heart of every American who lost a loved one on 9/11, its a dagger in the Heart to every country who served with America to take a stand against Islam and their beliefs that we are a bad society and the muslims not only believe this they teach these lies to their young. The United States has garnered
• Are you sure your business has the right legal and corporate structure of business? Business Structure: Business Building Blocks by Yolanda Tucker
  The legal structure of your business is a critical element of business development and organization. This blog places an emphasis on the partnership structure.
• Are You Privacy Compliant? Hire a Lawyer by Joseph Campana, Ph.D., CIPP/G, CITRMS
  In a business forum I recently asked the question, "does your business have a privacy officer?"  A young attorney quipped, "hire an attorney, they'll tell you if you need one?"  According to best privacy practices; a National Academy of Sciences report, numerous other compliance bibles; and a multitude of federal and many state laws, all enterprises should have a privacy advocate, typically called
• The Most Frequented Victim of Identity Theft by Joseph Campana, Ph.D., CIPP/G, CITRMS
  Identity theft is when a person misuses the personal identifiers of another person for their own advantage. In extreme situations an imposter may actually attempt to impersonate the character of a victim. A widely publicized case of character impersonation and identity theft is "The Michelle Brown Story," which was made into a Lifetime TV movie. In the drama, the imposter committed a varie
• Identity Theft Education by Joseph Campana, Ph.D., CIPP/G, CITRMS
  Education on identity theft and privacy is not discretionary; it is required as part of a defensible best practices program and mandated by federal and state laws. If your organization were launching an employee wellness program, which speaker
• THE AMC MADMEN PROGRAM: corporate suite fragging by Anthony Cooper
  Just imagine working for the imaginary Cooper Sterling Advertising Agency? A Creative Director is hiding a past life that started when he assumed the identity of a commanding officer who was killed next to him in a Korean War battlefield incident. A sex obsessed senior partner has suffered a heart attack while indulging in a tryst on company premises. Publication of an article/book by one of the c
• Protecting Privacy is more than a Paper Shredder by Joseph Campana, Ph.D., CIPP/G, CITRMS
  The consequences for a privacy or information security breach can be devastating to enterprises in terms of hard and soft costs. I have been told more than once by leaders of both large and small enterprises that they purchased a paper shredder and that performing privacy and information security risk assessment is no longer necessary. Really? An identity theft, privacy and information securit
• Credit Check by Alan Stafford, MBA
  The recent wave of mortgage defaults is not limited to residential housing. There is a growing number of multi-fam properties (apartment houses) that are in or near foreclosure. Just like individual homeowners, these so-called investors financed these apartment buildings at low, teaser, adjustable rates a few years back. They were counting on selling at a profit before rates adjusted upward very m
• Educate Employees on Business Fraud by Joseph Campana, Ph.D., CIPP/G, CITRMS
  I was recently copied on an email alerting and scaring the email distribution about a decade old scam. The infamous 90# scam targets businesses. You or one of your employees receive a phone call from the phone company. They are requesting assistance in troubleshooting phone lines (aren't you honored that Ma Bell is calling you for help?). The caller asks that you press 9, then 0, then #, and as
• BE AWARE OF THE COSTS OF BAD BOSS BEHAVIOR by Dr. Rick Bommelje (BOMB-L-J)
  A frustrated employee of a mid-sized company shared the following lament about her non-listening leader:
• The Dog That Hasnt Barked by Anthony Cooper
  I will bet that I can mention a word that no one has heard in the current national health insurance debate. The word is FRAUD. We would all like to think that political leaders offer proposals in good faith. However, past history suggests the importance of using the proverb TRUST but verify. Note that the United States Government Accountability Office (GAO) as a rule of thumb estimates that
• Why Practical Matters by David Porter
  I spend a great deal of time working with business leaders about legal issues facing them and their businesses. The most difficult challenge I encounter is helping the business leader remember that law is no different than most other issues -- it is a matter of practical reality that almost always require
• Existentialism, Libertarianism and Judicial Realism by Richard Campagna
  I continue on the road doing book signing sessions, teaching in more traditional classroom settings and conducting seminars integrating the three above-mentioned approaches into all of my work. From my viewpoint, these three philosophies and theories best explain the economic, political, legal and cultural milieu in which we find ourselves. They tend to bring a spiritual optimism to my au
• Book Reveals Red Flags for Businesses by Joseph Campana, Ph.D., CIPP/G, CITRMS
  Barring last week's reprieve by the Federal Trade Commission, more than 10 million small organizations nationwide would have been required to comply with the Red Flags Rule on November 1. The FTC announced that compliance will be delayed six months until May 1, 2009 because many businesses were not only unaware of the compliance date, but unaware of the Red Flags Rule. Dr. Joseph Campana, a privac
• 3 Pitfalls to Watch Out For in Business Contracts by Robert G. Heim, Esq.
  There are articles, books and whole graduate school programs devoted to business contracts and how to write and review these documents. They are all valuable but what they teach about the pitfalls to watch out for can be boiled down to a list of key points. Your mastery of these key points will save your company money in legal fees and may even save your company from a costly lawsuit. Here
• Privacy: Blogging and Online Communities by Joseph Campana, Ph.D., CIPP/G, CITRMS
  I participate in an electronic community (aka online community, social network) that is aimed at business professionals. It is very likely that you or one or more of your employees are one of the more than 18 million people who are part of this one community or one of many more like it. During the last couple of weeks I noticed and answers are clearly inappropriate. Some members of the communit
• Do-it-Yourself Identity Theft Repair: Recipe for Disaster by Joseph Campana, Ph.D., CIPP/G, CITRMS
  There is a knock on the door. It's 11 PM. You answer the door and its Inspector Jenkins and his partner Inspector Smith with the Secret Service. They inform you that they have been investigating fraudulent wire transfers made from one of your trading accounts over the last six months. Your spouse and children come to the door to see what is happening. Just as they do, Inspector Jenkins informs

  A frustrated employee of a mid-sized company shared the following lament about her non-listening leader: “You would think a CEO with a Yale education and extensive experience would have excellent listening skills. I certainly would expect him to be nothing less than a well-mannered communicator. What a joke we have! We don’t have a large sales team. I handle the marketing for the entire compan...
