Michael Jordan Inspires Greatness At The End
| |
| I write this as the greatest basketball player ever goes into the Hall of Fame, Michael Jordan. It feels to me that an era for me is now gone and my childhood is now over, but I could not help but notice the greatness again in Air Jordan. |

10 Commandments of Leadership-Coaching and Providing Feedback
| |
| Coaching is defined in many ways, terms and contexts. For our purpose, coaching is a stream of communication from the leader to team members for the purpose of maintaining and improving performance.
Often times, coaching is viewed as an athletic function and visions of Bobby Knight, Dean Smith, Tom Osborne or Lou Holtz are summoned. The model provided by the athletic version of coaching is not far off from the business model but there are some distinct differences.
One of the comments that has often been expressed about coaching is the lack of time to devote to this activity. This is a classic symptom of a leader being too involved in doing and not involved in leading. When debunked this comment is really more about a lack of comfort in coaching skills than it is about available time. |

Fred Smith Has Lift-Off: The Beginnings of Federal Express
| |
| “By the early '70s when I'd gotten out of the service it was very clear that this new society was coming in earnest,” recalls Smith. “And so, at that point I said, ‘What the hell, let's try to put it together.’” After leaving the U.S. Marine Corps, Smith purchased a controlling interest in Ark Aviation Sales, a company that focused on aircraft maintenance. This was the first step towards realizing his goal of what would soon become Federal Express. |

Lesson #2: Never Stop Putting Up A Fight
| |
| “I was very committed to the people that had signed on with me and if we were going to go down, we were going to go down with a fight,” says Smith. “It wasn't going to be because I checked out and didn't finish it out.” |

Chris Gardner Story
| |
| When you first hear the Chris Gardner story, you might think you were hearing the storyline of a Hollywood movie. In fact, the Chris Gardner story was so real that it was turned into a movie, the recently released “The Pursuit of Happyness” starring Will Smith and his real-life son Jaden Smith. But, before becoming the subject of a major motion picture, the Chris Gardner story was one of uncertainty and insecurity. |

The most important thing to know about your strategic plan.
| |
| As part of the product development process for RapidInfluence we had numerous sessions with individuals both inside and outside of our target market. The purpose of these discussions were to work through the premises of our Strategic Planning Manifesto and to preview the first version of our product.
One of the more insightful sessions we had was with Ian Smith of Portfolio Partnership and the author of The Smith Report, a must read for growth companies. In our session we discussed the need for companies to create strategic plans and more importantly to implement them. During our discussion, Ian rightly pointed out that success in strategic plan implementation was largely dependent on knowing what the status of various action items are within the strategic plan. |

Dean Graziosi - Real Estate AND Entrepreneurialism
| |
| I saw Dean Graziosi's infomercial one fateful Saturday afternoon. At this point, I hadn't pursued my dream of being a successful entrepreneur for years. I had failed in the past and being an employee was the safe way to live. But, being an entrepreneur at heart, I just couldn't let it die. So, I ordered Dean's book. What could $20-$30 hurt? |

How to structure your business to protect your intellectual property
| |
| It was only after Dean signed one half of the shares over to his General Manager that he realised what he had done. The intention when he sold those shares was to give away half of his Auckland business. However, what Dean had inadvertently done was give away half of his dreams and aspirations for the brand which he had spent five years building up from scratch.
A simple step taken before the share sale could have avoided this problem, but Dean was now looking at buying back the shares from someone who didn’t want to sell.
