• Technical Leadership and Management by Dr. Robert Biggins
  Leadership and management are frequently used in the same context.  The truth is, the two terms are vastly different. According to the World English Dictionary, to lead means to “show the way to (an individual or a group) by going with or ahead.”  Conversely, according to Dictionary.com manage means “to bring about or succeed in accomplishing, sometimes despite difficulty or hardship.” Simplist

• Truthtelling by Neil Ihde
  David Von Drehle of Time magazine recently penned a great article on the bravery of a rookie politician to stand up and tell the truth regardless of the consequences of her political career.  Gina Raimondo is Rhode Island's general treasurer and she inherited a public-pension mess that could have sent the state into financial ruin.  She assessed the situation and took a stand, 'It would be mu
• The Simple Law of Complexity by Sanford Kahn
  This law states that the complication factor of a strategy or course-of-action is directly proportional to the square of the plan’s complexity.

A good example of this are large government contracts. The cost overruns are usually a multiple of the o

• Learn From It, Then It Go by Rick Robare
  Here’s a short parable that can easily be applied to our professional lives… A wise man spoke to an audience, telling them a joke. Everyone laughed like crazy. After another moment, he told the same joke again. This time less people laughed. He cracked the same joke again & again. When there was no laughter in the crowd, he smiled & said : "You can't laugh at the same joke again

• "The World's Best Layoff Prevention Policy" by Greg Gilbert
  Or My entry into the “How To Fix The Economy” contest By: Greg Gilbert This has impacted so many people in the U.S. I have put this in my keynote and management training. Oh, and believe me, I did think of this on the lower bunk last weekend. Layoffs, downsizing, force massaging, force reductions, going a different direction and you’re not going with us. These are all negative terms th
• Dad, "Who owns this company?" and "What are you investing in?" by Greg Gilbert
  When my daughter was probably in the 7th or 8th grade, her school had a “go to work with Dad day”. As we were riding the elevator she asked who owned the company? I answered that it was a publicly traded company fully knowing what the next question would be. Well, as I expected, she wanted me to explain what a publicly traded company was.  You may not work for a publicly traded company but some of

• 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
• As a Leader, Leave them with their Dignity by Dr. Rosie Kuhn
  Regardless of education and training, my experience is that we choose our leadership styles primarily from the experience of being around those who were our leaders; most often our parents, teachers, ministers and coaches. The interpretations we choose based on our experiences have us decide how to be a leader and how to be with a leader.
• The Underdog Goes to Harvard by David Morey
  The best story wins, in business as in the rest of life. But it's not enough to portray yourself as a challenger; to be a true underdog, you have to compete against the top companies in the field, with all the energy, aggression, and cleverness you've got.
• United Were Not, Devided We Are by Donnie Bolena

• Leadership Born or Learned by Dr. Rick Spruill
  Leadership Born or Learned Often times we have think that great leaders were taught to be that way.  Maybe they had great mentors received some specialized training or were able to attend some of the finest private schooling and post secondary education in the world.  Is this plausible? Sure, but is it likely that all great leaders had this advantage? I espouse the belief that great leaders

• 11 Changes You Want Your New Manager to Make Overnight – But They Won’t! Bart Gragg         posted in: Management and Supervision
  This is a new speech that came about by listening to others on a conference call and understanding how little they understood about their new managers, and even some of their used ones. This speech is meant to be both interactive for smaller groups and simply a talk for larger audiences. It is currently written around a 45 minute talk and 15 minute Q&A - and this makes it flexible ...

  No one wants to talk about... BUT it's there! Grief in the workplace, that heavy thing that fills up the air, that is always around a "cubbie" or a "nook" and appears from no where. As I travel across the country, doing keynotes, seminars and most recently talking to Professional Caregivers, I am...
