Get To Know (No) Fast
I spent two days in training with a very seasoned group of sales professionals recently and the same point kept coming up over and over again as we applied the principles of marketing to selling situations.
The Seventh Commandment of Leadership-Self Management and Relationship Power
The most difficult person that you will manage in your leadership career is you. That is a very hard statement to get your hands around and grasp but managing yourself is a very challenging task. Without good self-management, the delicate balance between leader and follower is jeopardized. You can loose credibility. You can damage relationships. You can completely become irrelevant. First, a little background on self management. Self management is half of the science of emotional intelligence. Emotional intelligence tells us that eighty percent of our reactions, responses and projections are driven by emotion and not by logic or processed thought.
Buy American: Establishing Artificial Boundaries or Removing Unwanted Barriers?
"This idea of international free trade is a fallacy. We don't need free trade. We need smart trade . . . Even Canada is not truly a free trade partner. Their regulations require broadcasters use a specified percentage of Canadian-produced programming. That's protectionism, and to deny it is to be the patsy to foreign governments who think they can take advantage of the naivete of the American voter." Stephen Cottle, Hatford, CT (LinkedIn Q&A Response)
Equity Markets are a Farce!
What drives an investor to buy a stock? Is it the fundamentals? The technicals? A combination of the two? Well I’m not quite certain anymore. You can basically throw all of the textbook answers out the window when it comes to today’s equity markets. Why do I say that? Because I believe that the only thing that is driving this market is the notion that the government is going to bail out everyone and their brother.

Book Review: Predictably Irrational
As a marketing strategist, I’m always looking for information to help understand human psychology. Predictably Irrational (by Dan Ariely) is full of wonderful insights on the surprising differences between logical thought and emotional consumer action.
Success and Leadership - The Measuring Sticks of Success
We often use the wrong measuring stick as to our worth and achievements. It is the money stick! We get mesmerized by the glitter of celebrities and the Fortune list of the wealthiest people. We compare ourselves with a system that honors entertainment more than education, more than how we care for our families, or how hard we work. We compare our bodies to bodies that we are told are the bodies to have in order to have happiness. We need to stop comparing ourselves with unrealistic goals. What's good for one person is not necessarily good for you or me.

Getting from Child-ish to Child-like
Education turns out to be a process that separates the individual from his or her intuition. Midlife offers an opportunity to recapture what was lost.
Doing Multiple Tasks Isn't Multitasking
Multitasking...people say they do it with pride. They say their kids multitask because they're wired differently. Problem is psychologists, sociologists, people who study people say it simply isn't true. We have tons of things on our plate now -- more things than time - but it turns out we're doing multiple tasks but we can only focus on one at a time. So what we're really doing is moving from task to task in nanoseconds so it feels like all the jobs are getting done in parallel. Maybe that's why our wife says we can mess up more things in less time than anyone she knows.

The Elementary Laws of Advertising And How to Use Them
Most books on the subject of advertising are written by professional writers with little or no knowledge of business, or by advertising commission agents whose sole intent appears to be that of enticing unwary business men into buying more, and unnecessary, advertising from them.

Vocationalisation of the school curriculum will continue to appeal to politicians and policymakers as an appropriate way of promoting productive self-employment and thereby reducing poverty, especially in rural areas.

7.0 Entrepreneurship and Small Business Success: Entrepreneurship and Small Business Enterprise Growth in Uganda
Common day definition of entrepreneurs tend to equate it with those who start small business (Drucker, 1993). This is a fallacy. Entrepreneurship is a dynamic process of creating wealth whether in small organisations or large organisations. Entrepreneurship is a continuous search for change, responding to it and exploiting it as an opportunity (Drucker, 1993). Most successful organisations are successful because of the entrepreneurial behaviour of their leaders and the entrepreneurial culture prevalent in the organisation. The key entrepreneurial behaviours include the following :
In Prosperous Periods Promote Tactically, In Down Times Promote Strategically
The chaos of the financial community has proven that the fallacy of their house of cards and smoke/mirrors has finally caught up with them. But that shouldn't depress the entrepreneur who has an idea, drive and ... at least some money!

The Fallacy of Bank Lending
If banks really want to compete and grow though increased customer acquisition and market share, then they will quit ignoring small business customers. It is a true fallacy of banks to continue to ignore this important and very large market segment.
Koch Industries Financing Climate Denial
Koch Industries finances groups that fight environmental regulation, oppose clean energy legislation, and undermine limits on industrial pollution. Koch Industries misinforms the public on several environmental fronts including keeping the "ClimateGate" fallacy alive. Many of the supposed experts speaking against global warming are on the Koch payroll. From 1997 to 2008, the Kochs funneled more than $48.5 million to organizations that support climate change denial.
