Where Eagles Dare

Profiles in Branding
Unless you have lived in a cave for the past few years, you have seen them in your community. A group of women over 50 years of age dressed as pimps. Big red hats with feathers, boas draped around their shoulders, purple velvet suits, as gaudy as you can imagine. These ladies are no pimps. They are members of a popular women over-50 group, The Red Hat Society.
Idea of the Week A Clients Thanksgiving
This past week, a client of mine presented a family situation that needed tending to. If this problem wasn't handled, then Thanksgiving was bound to set a few feathers flying. My client’s challenge was with an in-law who spoke negatively about the rest of her family. She didn’t want to hear her family bad-mouthed and had repeatedly threatened to lose her temper if it didn’t stop. This had very little effect on the critical in-law who may have thought she was still in-bounds if no tantrum was forthcoming.

Decisions based on emotion = BAD for business
In recent years, there has been a rise in discussion and research around what makes a good leader good. From those discussions, a new field of study and measurement has arisen,. It is called Emotional intelligence, or EQ. (Don't ask me why it isn't EI, but it's not.) In simple terms, EQ is the ability to know and control your emotions, and the ability to recognize and empathize with the emotions of others. For the expertrs in this field, please, don't get your feathers ruffled. Defining EQ is not the point. The point is, emotion does NOT belong in business, and often leads to really bad decisions. Emotion seems to play the biggest role in family owned business where family members are either co-owners or employees. This article talks about how to handle these situations, whether you are on the verge of wading into one, or already there.
Whose Feather Are You Flying With?
