Lesson #4: Micro Managing Can Mean Mega Success
If there is one thing Armani does well, aside from designing clothes of course, it is micro managing. “My work is my life,” he says. “Even though it is good to take a holiday, after two vacations it is boring.”
Getting Out of the Box
Many people set low ceilings on their expectations and capabilities. In the process, they place themselves in a "box." Alexander Whortley took that a step further and literally lived in a box. It was a mini-trailer, three feet wide, four feet long, and five feet high. He lived there until he died at the age of eighty. His box was made of wood, had a metal roof, and it housed him and all his meager belongings. Regardless of where he worked, Whortley chose to spend his life in that cramped space, even though larger, more comfortable quarters were always available.
Personal Gravity Part 2 - Filters
Listening isn't just about staying quiet to hear the other person all the way the end of their thought. Listening also demands that we hear others' words with no personal filters associated with that communication. That's a much taller order than simply shutting your mouth until the appropriate time to speak.

Even the advertising industry is very competitive. To entice more clients, advertising companies are using many advertising techniques. Each advertising company seeks to outperform and outthink the others. The more competitive innovative the advertising is, the more clients it can draw.
Preserving Your Volunteer Fire & Rescue Department
What do you do when you are faced with losing a significant number of fire and rescue call personnel? How can you guarantee public safety when you are unsure how many, if any, of your volunteers will respond to a call? These are the problems faced by many communities in Maine and throughout the United States. With the rapid decline in the number of volunteers, more and more towns are forced to consider employing full-time staff-a decision that could run havoc with the financial well being of any community.

Positioning Basics
There is no one-size-fits-all approach to strategy and positioning. Anyone who says there's a one-size-fits-all approach simply doesn't get it. Strategic positioning is more art than science. And each and every client is a new canvas. Great positioning is as unique as every situation. You have to be flexible, nimble. My ‘methodology' is more a way of thinking about things. I don't really have a checklist or set of step-by-step instructions.

A Social Media journey begins…
Today was my first day back at work after a long over due vacation and as usual it didn’t disappoint. My inbox had over 450 emails that required responses and I was booked for three back-to-back meetings. But the one thing that fired my up today was determining the future roadmap for our corporate Intranet. During one of my three meetings I met with the Infrastructure team and determined how we are going to implement our very own instance of Facebook onto our Intranet.

Is it Time to Rebuild Society?
"When society requires to be rebuilt, there is no use in attempting to rebuild it on the old plan. No great improvements in the lot of mankind are possible, until a great change takes place in the fundamental constitution of their modes of thought." John Stuart Mill

Human 2.0
How are all the shifts in our world shaping our global society? Are we evolving in the right direction? Do we spend as much time upgrading and redefining our humanity and examining whether our thinking is keeping us stuck or moving us forward? Is the way we connect the dots about politics, relationships, business, culture, religion, diversity, etc. still relevant? We hear a lot about Web 2.0 but what about Human 2.0?

As illustrated in my book, Passionate Performance, our rituals create the fabric of our culture, and they are critical for defining connections within our teams.

Effective rituals connect our team members to each other and to the leader. Select rituals that fit your style and the chemistry of your team. It has to feel comfortable and natural to be effective.
