In Corporate Strategic Planning, Leave Your Perfectionism at the Door

The pace of change and uncertainty in today’s economic and business environments require that business leaders define and evolve their plans while the organization is in full motion.

And while it’s tempting for organizations to strive for perfection in every strategic plan, this approach can result in serious missed opportunities and lost market share. Embrace the imperfection that is inherent in any corporate strategic plan. After all, without clairvoyant powers nobody has perfect information upon which to plan and act -- and that’s okay.

A Small Hole Can Sink A Big Ship - The Poor Performer and Other Like Obstacles

Of all the non-actions likely to negatively impact on a team’s morale, it seems none is quite so damning as a failure to respond promptly to a team member’s poor performance. Research consistently contends that business leaders lose most kudos when poor performance is left unattended and poor performers are able to continue their inappropriate behaviour without repercussion. Whilst many leaders may opt to avoid the situation of a poor performer and choose instead to alienate them in the hope they will leave of their own accord, the disharmony created through such a strategy is frequently so great that it infiltrates into other facets of the business.

Five Reasons Why Nothing Has Changed in Your Organization
Here are five reasons why nothing seems to have changed in your organizations, despite your best efforts to make things happen.

Commitment Based Management

As we move into this new century, we can look back and see that the very nature of work has changed dramatically in the last 50 years, yet our practices of management are essentially unchanged from WWII. What we have done is add technology to a set of practices that were intended to be effective in a time when mass factory production and agriculture made up 95% of the global economy. Unfortunately these same practices are still standard at business schools and big companies around the word.

Giving Voice To Your Marketing Personality On The Web

Every company has a personality whether they know it or not.

Controlling the Assumptions in Your Sales and Marketing Strategy

When you incorporate a new strategy into your service business there are certain assumptions that are made upon which the success of your strategy relies. These assumptions need to be monitored and controlled to give your company the greatest chance of accomplishing your stated objectives.

No leader is master of everything

One of the key failures senior executives and leaders tend to make early in their careers is acting with hubris. This affliction recurs with even the best who have had marvelously successful careers and begin to act without appropriate caution or due diligence.

Qualities of Excellent Leaders: Leading an Organization to Triple Digit Growth

One of the common threads I see with many business owners and executives is a desire to be constantly accessible to their clients and to people who call them.

Toward a better understanding and application of engagement
The improved model of the link between staff behaviour and strategy leads to a sharper and different view of engagement based on engagement as visualization.

Who's Your VP of Reputation?
Reputation is the new profit center for the 21st century. Think about it. In an age of corporate scandals, suspicious customers, and budgets with very little breathing room, there is simply no substitute for being a reputable company. But no matter how many times you say you're an honest, trustworthy, customer-centered company, the proof is in the proverbial pudding.

Flush the Ambiguity out of your Sales Pipeline
Truth or Fiction! Do you feel this is the guessing game you are playing when assessing the potential and probability of your sales pipeline?
