  • Directed Introspection

     One of the greatest obstacles to progress can often be our awareness of past failures. If we tried something a couple of years ago and fell flat on our faces (and especially if we were ridiculed or derided as a result) we tend to be reluctant to rock the boat again. When we believe that history will repeat itself, we become paralysed by fear.More

  • The Crisis of Modernity

     Since the beginning of the industrial era our world has been facing what some historians call an ongoing "crisis of modernity". As fast as we adjust to new circumstances, the circumstances change again, and, the rate of change seems to be multiplying exponentially. Of all the demands imposed by twenty first century leadership, perhaps the toughest is the ability to not only manage change but to instigate it, control it and to be it's master.More

  • You, Your Team, and Your Coach

     The grand purpose of coaching is to help your managers, the people they manage, and your organization make the transition from where you are to where you want to be.Some points are so obvious it seems silly to even mention them but experience suggests that, just as common sense is not really so common, we can be blindly oblivious of what seems obvious.1. You can not influence the direction of a body at rest!More

  • The Magic and Mystery of Teams

     As the world of manufacturing has become increasingly competitive, managers have diligently searched out new and innovative ways to increase productivity, multiply the power of every employee, and better utilize every resource in order to positively impact the bottom line.For more than a decade one of the most popular "Hot Trend" innovations has been the idea of "Team". We are told that no man is an island, nothing of significance has ever been accomplished by one person alone, the whole is equal to more than the sum of its parts and on and on and on.More

  • I Believe In Man

     I have a deep and abiding belief that there lies within every person the capacity for greatness. I don't mean the old adage that you can become anything you want to be -- I'm more receptive to Peter F. Drucker's admonition to not "waste time trying to put in what the creator left out.More

  • Discover The Coach Within You

     One of the three basic roles of leadership is the coach or mentor. The best boss is often the best coach. (See: http://tlc-leadership.More

  • Identify Your Goals

     Leadership writer and founder of LMI Paul J Meyer spoke of the "storehouse of life" as filled to abundance with treasure too rich to describe.He described people going to this storehouse with a sieve and come away empty handed. Or they go with a teaspoon, stuff a little into their pockets and slink away like thieves feeling they have put one over on the world.More

  • Basic Leadership

     As a corporation, who are you, what do you do, what do you stand for, where are you going - and when? Many companies have a mission statement, but how often does it reflect reality?Do the employees buy into it?More

  • Coaching Basics

     Productivity is high;Stress anxiety is low;Morale is great;Customers are beating down your doors;Employee turnover is non existent (except when its your idea), and;Profits are rolling in so fast the owners and bankers are all asleep.Congratulations - and I’d really like to study your organization to learn how you do it.In the real world, most organizations have concerns about at least some of those things and often while training leadership we find that a manager's inability to focus or concentrate is simply because he's "too close to the forest to see the trees".More

  • The Incandescence Of The Human Spirit

     There lives within every individual a power, an energy, an incandescence of spirit that is being constantly held in check, like a dimmer switch turned way down.A lifetime of being told: "we are nothing special; to stand out is egotistic and wrong; to conform is necessary; to be different is bad; the collective good must be served even to the determent of our own being; we must support; we must never defy; to question authority is inherently evil; the majority is always right; don't rock the boat;" -- creates an habitual thought pattern of lassitude, often leaving us without any sense of our ability to make a substantial difference and therefore with no real sense of urgency.Surely it is in the best interest of every organization, every corporation to instill in it's employees a sense of pride, in the organization, in the work force and in themselves.More
