An Oasis of Creative Thought and Action in a Desert of Conflicting Policy (Associated Manufacturing Marketing Group Profile)
“From a domestic engagement perspective, public sector procurement practices are leading to an erosion of the overall supply base. This escalating level of erosion and its negative impact on innovation was initially presented as part of an October 2002 U.S. report by the Executive Office of the President. Specifically, the practice of contract bundling which resulted in a steadily decreasing number of Small – Medium enterprises receiving federal contracts was seen as a direct threat to the nation’s pool of “innovation and creativity.” This of course has paved the way for newer legislation which has resulted in agencies such as NASA unbundling contracts in an effort to make business more manageable for small enterprises, or groups of small enterprises.

Reader Question: Is a strong small business sector important to the stability and growth of a nation’s economy?
In a word yes! And the critical role that public sector (government) policy plays in terms of being the primary link between successful domestic engagement and effective international cluster development cannot be underestimated.

E-MAIL...OVERUSED, ABUSED & INVALUABLE
"I predict that by 2010, 100 percent of network traffic will be packetized. None of it will be voice because we will be too mad at each other from sending flame e-mails." Vint Cerf, former executive vice president of MCI and one of the founders of the Internet.
The First 100 Days
All the pomp and circumstance of the inauguration is behind us. President Obama is in office and ready to go. Now the countdown begins on The First 100 Days. The First 100 Day Plan sets the tone and focus for an incoming President. It’s a must for the leaders of the free world. As leaders of our own worlds, shouldn’t we also have a 100 day plan to set the tone and focus for our “term”? Its’ not too late. We are only 28 days into 2009! The nature of a plan is that it is written down. Writing down your 100 day goals creates tremendous power.

Five Steps to Executive Presence
There is an art to gaining the corner office, and a large part of it is executive presence. Executive presence can’t be measured, but it’s often just as important as years of experience, results, knowledge and skill. Here are the five steps you need to know about.

Overwhelmed and Overcommitted but not Defeated!
I hate the feeling of being overwhelmed with my work. Unfortunately, it has happened all too often. I have to say it is a state of being which I defined for myself as dysfunctional. Literally. I would get to the point where I was almost paralyzed because there seemed to be too much that needed to be done now. I took firefighting to the next level. I remember one day vividly. It was quite a few years ago. I had agreed to so many commitments, projects, and meetings, I thought I might hyperventilate. So I did what any responsible executive would do…I cancelled everything I could for that day. The definition of “everything I could” was anything that was not a meeting with my boss, the President of the company. After I cancelled everything I locked myself in my office. I didn’t tell anyone I would be there. Most of my team was not in the build
It Gets Lonely at the Top
Being a President, CEO or the owner of a company can get lonely at times. This is true even if you are an excellent leader and have developed a top notch executive staff. Often times you face decisions, challenges or just thoughts that you can't even divulge to your most trusted employee. Some CEOs use executive coaches to help them during these times. I personally do some executive coaching. Often times coaching is just affirmation and validation of one's own thinking but it is important to have that outlet.
A Century Of Leadership - Good And Bad
It might be simplistic, and I certainly invite discussion, but today I'm ranking the men who've held the office of President since 1911 in terms of how well they did in resisting this "progress" toward socialism/collectivism by their overall support of the U.S. Constitution. My thinking is this: if, as the foremost leader of the federal government, the president can do a good job at fulfilling his/her oath to uphold the Constitution, prosperity generally becomes much easier to obtain in America (and, frankly, elsewhere in the world). When the president fails to protect the Constitution (or, worse, attacks it), he or she aids the progressive march toward collectivism - but pulls the nation away from prosperity and strength....
Title Inflation Emerges With A Vengeance
Suddenly, title inflation is everywhere. I’ve seen more business cards or email sigs lately with adjectives like “executive” or “senior” or “senior executive” or “special” or “chief” in front of more traditional titles (e.g. “vice president”). The “chief” one is especially bizarre since it’s not always obvious whether the CSO is a “Chief Sales Officer” or a “Chief Security Officer” which in and of itself is a problem.
How to Break Out of the Eight Traps of High Achievers
I was recently working with one of my San Francisco Bay Area executive coaching clients – the president of a professional services firm. We talked about how he could break out of the eight traps of high achievers. My executive coaching client and I discussed how it is more important to focus on success and fulfillment than perfection. I am coaching my client to overcome the eight traps of high achievers, and focus more on success than perfection.
8 Pillars of Leadership Wisdom
I was recently working with one of my San Francisco Bay Area executive coaching clients – the president of a professional services firm. We had a collaborative coaching conversation discussing the components of wisdom. My executive coaching client and I discussed how judgment, social intelligence and core values have influenced his ability to make wise decisions. I am coaching my client to tap into his executive wisdom and creativity.
