Leadership Styles - the Amazing Story of the Hawthorne Effect
I have long held the view that successful strategies for managing change and the leadership styles that support those strategies are people centric rather than totally process oriented. Whilst undertaking research for a section of my website I came across a very interesting experiment.
Manufacturing Loyal Employees: Is it Possible?
How do you create loyal, motivated employees if you can't make them stand and cheer? I have observed many firms attempt to create loyalty and an inspiration for hard work amongst their staff. One financial planning firm has actually gone to the extreme in attempting to create a staff of loyal, committed staff people. But what has transpired, instead, is more of an episode of The Office than a truly inspired workforce. The reason: loyalty is not something you can force upon people or manufacture; it is earned through the relationships you establish with your employees.

Small Business Tips: Insuring Your Business Success
Over Easter there was a large fire at Coorparoo in Queensland, where a number of small businesses were burnt out. This is a devastating event for any business, but what made it more so was that a number of the small businesses were not insured. What was the effect? Let me tell you about one small business and the effect this has had on them. This small business was a service business; they were starting to get a brilliant reputation in the industry and had a number of major contracts on the go. They had employed a number of staff to work in the business and things were looking rosy. Insurance was on their to do list, but as things got busier and busier it never seemed to make it to the top of the list. As their information was critical to their business, they regularly backed up all of their computers.

Taking Charge of Your Life
How do you live your life? At cause or at effect? It is important to be aware of this distinction.

Evaluating the ‘Steve Jobs effect’
In a recent ChangeWave research firm survey, they inquired about the Steve Jobs “effect”? With his recent health disclosure and taking a leave of absence—amid speculation on whether Apple will stumble without him—ChangeWave asked consumers what effect it would have on their likelihood of buying Apple products if Jobs were to permanently step down as CEO
The Vacuum Effect!
The Vacuum Effect! It is interesting how similar situations appear as you go through life. I suppose when something happens once you become more aware of when it happens again. Anyway this month I had a couple of instances of what I will call “The Vacuum Effect”. This is where in companies or organisations you have a key employee leaving with a consequential effect on the rest of the business.

Social, Cultural and Economic Impact of Brand Creation
Take a moment here to look at just how infinitely large of a undertaking Brand Creation truly can be. Consider all of what is involved in just beginning the possess and what is at stake here. Brand Creation has the potential to effect the entire world. And to create a lasting effect on our culture. And to make an economic impact statement that was once thought impossible. The steps involved here are many, it is not merely the naming of a product or symbol. This reaches far beyond that, when the idea for a Brand is given birth all of the guarantees and promises of the products and services.

Career Growing Pains: Some Grow UP and Some Grow Old
Transitioning from where you are to where you need to go isn’t easy; it requires you to become connected to the cause and effect of your actions, and to own them by taking responsibility. To engage in something successfully, especially in a competition or fight, you must have the ability to take a punch and respond with a counter punch (meaningful reaction)-and remain standing. You aren’t engaged if you just take the punches, without bothering to move, change or get out the way. To think that you are engaged when you are making little effort while expecting big results, finding excuses for staying where you are, blaming someone else, or just being blind to the lesson of cause and effect-only makes you bitter instead of better.

Best Book on Painting Tips for Artists I Ever Read
TITLE: BEST BOOK ON PAINTING TIPS FROM CHARLES WEBSTER HAWTHORNE (1872-1930) As An artist and a writer, I study all the time the masters in those fields, those who struggled and won. Why? Because I am still struggling and need their tools to win. I recently read Charles Webster Hawthorne on Painting, collected by Mrs. Charles. W. Hawthorne with an Introduction by Edwin Dickinson, an Appreciation by Hans Hoffman, and Biographical Notes by Joseph Hawthorne, his son. These forty tools I gleaned from Hawthorne’s tips to help his students create more masterful paintings. In working to understand these forty tools, I felt like one of his students. I wish the same for you.
