McGwire Finally Admited to Steroid Use in the Past
There is an interesting trend going on....come forward with your past transgressions, clean up your act and move on. America will forgive and move on too. It worked for Kobe Bryant maybe it will work for Mark McGwire.

The E Word: Ethics
Perhaps it’s time for Ethics to take its seat at the table. To be a central part of the ‘inner sanctum’ of thoughtful discussion when decision-makers have tough choices to make. It’s long past time for ethics to stop being the appendage to the body of how we come to decision and then action and actually be the guiding brain of how we do that. Ethics should be the litmus test against which all decisions should be measured. It should be integrated into the way we think even as individuals as we move through our lives and come up against tough choices that we each inevitably have to make in our lives.

Sales and Customer Service are Just Like Steriod Use in Baseball
Sales is just like Steroid use in Baseball. If a customer attacks, complains, whines, demands or points fingers and you simply say, "you're right. I'm sorry," the issue goes away. However, if you get defensive, place blame, make excuses, deny the issue or fail to apologize, your customer will never forget and as a result, may no longer be your customer. The customer is always right - even when they're wrong.
Further to the Barry Bonds Post . . .
The response to the Barry Bonds post through both the PI Blog as well as e-mail has been tremendous. Be sure to check out the comments that have been posted (with more to come), as they are indicative of the prevalent attitudes amongst stakeholders in terms of the Government of Canada’s Shared Services strategy. One question that I am often asked is if “concern with the GoC program is solely an issue of access and lost revenue opportunities,” or if there are “broader implications” that elevate the negative pushback from one centered on entitlement. Specifically, are SME complaints tied solely to fears of lost revenue opportunities (which some consider to be self-serving), or is it indicative of a true erosion of “best value” products and services availability.

Company Stages Revisted
A few days ago I wrote about the transition from a small to medium to large business. I had a few people write to me with additional questions, including requests to define the sizes, talk more about the issues during the transition, and make suggestions about how to address things. One of the notes came from a long time friend – Barry Culman – who is currently the president of SPADAC (Spacial Data Analytics Corp.) I’m not involved in SPADAC, but Barry shared a framework that he used recently at a management retreat to explain his view of the evolution of a company. Following is a quick summary of the stages according to Barry.

Genral Information
The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) can guarantee bonds for contracts up to $2 million, covering bid, performance and payment bonds for small and emerging contractors who cannot obtain surety bonds through regular commercial channels. SBA's guarantee gives sureties an incentive to provide bonding for eligible contractors, and thereby strengthens a contractor's ability to obtain bonding and greater access to contracting opportunities. A surety guarantee, an agreement between a surety and the SBA, provides that SBA will assume a predetermined percentage of loss in the event the contractor should breach the terms of the contract.
