Learning from Lonely Farmers

Intel, UNC's Coal Supply and Abbott's Bottles: When the Shoe is on the Other Foot
It was interesting in that as I was reading the story about Intel in which it is alleged that the company "Used bribery and coercion to maintain its dominance in the microprocessor market," I could not help but think that this was not the first time that the proverbial shoe was on the other foot in terms of the sometimes strained relationship between buyer and supplier.

Don't Let Your Group Drink Dirty Water-Be a Leader
There is an Akamba, Kenya, proverb that says, "Syaasya ndongoi, inyusaa muuluu." This wise saying means when a herd of cattle lacks a leader, it ends up drinking dirty water. This saying is based on an observation in which the last herd to get to the water source finds the water has been made dirty by the ones that arrived before it.

Putting Business Communications On A Diet, and Media Training That Calls On Your Writing Skills
Business communications that forge a link between brevity and clarity are a crucial aspect of writing skills and communication training. It takes more effort to get to the point and support it in succinct fashion, but the payoff is business writing that honors the busy reader. Also, you can take advantage of media training and learn to be your own public relations agent -- at little or no expense. Just keep in mind that local newspapers need local news, and that could be you.

The Ethics of Service
Service works when it enriches the exchanges. Customers feel valued when the experience a service provider delivers something special to the encounter.

And, a generous heart without an enthusiastic spirit risks leaving customers believing they have received a gesture without importance and a gift without worth.

Two Cows and Venture Capital
Some very funny stuff in a Mark Gilbert column today on Bloomberg wherein he explains most of modern finance using "two cows" metaphors. Maybe you have to be a finance geek, but he had me laughing hard:

What Does An Androgynous Cow, The Life Lessons of a Father, & Closing More Sales Have To Do With Each Other? Only Learning To Ask One of The Most Powerful Qualifying AND Closing Questions You Can Ever Ask a Prospect! This weekend, as most, Netflix delivered right to my mailbox another movie for the kids. My six and seven year old boys, like most I’d imagine, love animated movies. Barnyard The Movie, who stars somewhat androgynous animated cows, is certainly not the best movie my family has ever watched. But here’s the thing;
Can a productivity consultant add enough value to justify the fee
Maybe so, maybe not depending on the project scope and your own resources. This article is a guide to determine how to predict in advance if a consultant will pay for himself / herself, much less create a return in this economy. The key; what resources can you apply, considering your circumstances In this article, you will observe that I suggest that management must commit itself to receive a payback from a productivity consultant. The more management opens up, to investigation, to consideration of new ideas, to judgment of sacred cows, to re-prioritization, the more useful any consultant can be.

Competing with the singleminded
I was talking with a few executives from one of the biggest technology companies in Europe, and they were explaining how their hands were tied in moving forward on the internet. They were doing the best they could under the circumstances, of course, but there were units in their organization that needed to be protected, prices that needed to be supported, sacred cows that couldn't be touched. After all, they argued, how could they wipe out their current business just to succeed online?
LET'S TALK SOME TRUTH ABOUT CARBON DIOXIDE
Are you aware that regulated C02 is the way the body relaxes and that higher atmospheric levels of C02 are a stressed plant's way to recovery? Are we humans contributing to higher levels of atmospheric C02 by improper breathing or blowing out too quickly? Perhaps we are doing as much damage as cows and cars. What is the EPA's real reason for declaring C02 a threat to human health? Is this another way of micromanaging us as humans?
