Home Based Business - Separating the Successes from the Failures
It's probably everyone's dream to have a home based business. Aside from the social outlet, who really enjoys going into an office each day, suffering through a hectic commute and making awkward water-cooler conversation under the sharp eye of one or more managers? Most people would prefer to manage themselves and set their own hours, without the dreaded rush hour.

In the Workplace, Trust is Fragile
Trust in the workplace is fragile. Companies and their leaders have added to the inherent suspicion people carry for their bosses by using the terms trust, teamwork, and transparency as buzz words. They hire consultants, hold special meetings, or do team-building and trust-building exercises. Then everyone goes right back to what they were doing before the feel-good exercise, nothing changes, and skepticism and distrust prevail. What is missing in these often empty exercises is that trust is personal. It is emotional. It is earned. It is a foundation that is built-one brick at a time.
The Five Levers of Leadership
Leaders have tough jobs. Why? Because in most cases they bear 100 percent of the responsibility for the performance of their team yet receive little glory for their efforts. The best leaders work longer hours, endure more stress, and have greater responsibility than the people they manage.
