***Stop Managing and Start Leading

Ask any group of managers if they view themselves as an elite within their organization and you can be sure they will deny it. You'll hear comments such as: "I have an open-door policy" and "I take pride in always being accessible and approachable." And in most cases, these managers will really believe what they are saying. What they don't realize, however, are the many invisible barriers — the "glass doors" — they put in place. Leaders remove these barriers and that is p

The Full Package - Make Yourself an Irresistable Candidate

Success is hard work; it does not come easy and seldom does it come quickly. I think we can all agree with that statement. But there’s another aspect of success that is a bit more controversial and that’s the idea that success is fluid. What made you successful yesterday may not make you successful today. In fact, yesterday’s success factor can become today’s failure point. The fast-paced changes bombarding today’s business environment can leave you reeling unless you have a foundation for success that is unshakeable.

The learning may take place over a long period of time and is a function of environment--the sort of thing people have little control

Deepening Our Discipline

"The bedrock of character is self-discipline; the virtuous life, as philosophers since Aristotle have observed, is based on self-control. A related keystone of character is being able to motivate and guide oneself, whether in doing homework, finishing a job, or getting up in the morning. And, as we have seen, the ability to defer gratification and to control and channel one's urges to act is a basic emotional skill, one that in a former day was called will." — Daniel Goleman, Emotional Intelligence: Why It Can Matter More Than IQ

This belief is that some people have the absolute right to control and “own” others, with the imposed certainty that the controllers have more experience, better truths and superior success prescriptions than those they control.
