Lesson #2: Develop a Customer-Focused Philosophy
“Let’s say you decide to buy a car – red, two-door,” says Dell. “All sold out – four months to get one – but a really convincing salesperson talks you into the blue, four-door and probably the rust-proofing too. The salesperson gets a nice commission, when she actually sold you a car you didn’t want. Then, the dealer sends a signal back to the factory that blue four-doors are selling really well – build some more!” Contrary to this, Dell’s philosophy is that, “We’ll listen, and we’ll respond…It’s about the customer. It’s that simple.”

Consulting Code Blue
Management consulting skills (or the lack of them) make the difference between the success and failure of a consultant. Poor skills usually result in the consultant not being asked back, or worse, being dismissed. Such dismissal is the consulting equivalent of heart failure.

Together We Can
After the events of September 11th, we saw individuals throughout the United States and the world come together as one - red, white, and blue. The differences in our personalities, race, gender, nationality, religious beliefs, etc. still existed but our very diversity became a way to show the terrorists that we are all different in many ways but still unite as one - red, white, and blue! Wouldn't it be nice if we could harness that same energy in our companies so that we worked together as one (but without the tragedy)? You can!!!

Third Generation Leadership and Depression
A recent Scientific American article makes it clear that an early aspect of depression leads to creativity. A person feels “down” or suffers some disquiet about his or her situation and, under the right circumstances, can use this to develop new approaches – the experience is used to harness their creative ability. This is a “blue zone” activity and 3G Leaders are adept at helping people shift their brain’s locus of control into the “blue zone”. Such leadership can help many people avoid the debilitating illness of clinical depression.
Are you STREAKIN\' or SLUMPIN\'?
Up or down? Making money or working hard? On a roll or in a rut? Where do you fall today? What exactly is a SLUMP? In baseball, have you ever noticed that they call it a batting SLUMP when you are not producing, but they call it a hitting STREAK when you are on a roll? Why is that? Why don’t they call it a hitting slump? Why isn’t it known as a batting streak? It seems that a batting SLUMP has the connotation that you are getting poor results from lackluster efforts, whereas it seems that a hitting STREAK suggests that your above average results are based not upon efforts, but upon action! Let’s break down those two words to see what they truly are. By using one, we may combat and even possibly avoid the other.
