The Ultimate Fighting Champion: Dana White is Born
The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) used to be nothing more than an underground fighting league, and one which was scarcely accepted in the U.S. That was, until Dana White came along. White transformed the UFC into one of the most mainstream and popular sports on the scene today. By cleaning up its image and marketing it as a legitimate sport, White was able to create a successful organization, whose events can now be seen on television in more than 35 countries around the world.

Keeping Clients Happy in Hard Times
We all face difficult times at some point. When problems come our way we can become so occupied "fighting the fires" that we forget our clients in the process.

How to get out of fighting fires and crisis management and reduce your stress levels.
It's About Time: The Path to Productivity
How well do you manage your time? Do you sometimes feel like you spend most of your work day putting out fires instead of being productive? Often it seems we’re so busy putting out those daily fires that we don’t ever get to accomplish anything of real significance—those things that would make us the most successful in the long run. Every day becomes something to “get through” instead of an exciting path to greater fulfillment. We all have the same amount of time; it's what we do with the time we have that makes the difference.

Are You Fighting The Wrong Battle?
Are you fighting hard day in and day out in your business to get sales, get customers, and make money? Your efforts are important, but it's even more important to make sure you aren't putting all those efforts into fighting the wrong battle.
Prayer and purposeful action
I awoke early this morning to the sound of gentle rain falling and found myself immediately praying for more. This prayer came automatically during one of the most tragic weeks in Victoria’s history with the tragedy of the bush fires in many parts of our state. As a Victorian I have found myself upping my prayer quotient for rain for some time now, not just for the bush fires but for the many people whose lives are affected by the drought here and elsewhere. In addition to my prayers, like many families, my family and I have been doing our best to save water and change the size of our carbon foot print. Yet at times like this one can’t help but feel somewhat helpless and useless. All I felt I could do under the circumstances was to pray and give money.
Are You Planning To Fail - Or Just Failing To Plan?

Create a Strategy That Pruduces Sustainable Results
A Sustainable organization is one where all of the parts are working together cohesively as a team to accomplish organizational goals. These organizations are innovative, customer responsive, and prevent fires- they're not spending their time putting out fires. Are you? If not, here is what to do about it.

Leaders Focus on Reflection and Renewal
Very often we find that managers and their teams are so busy working in the business that they have little time to work on the business. Meetings, deadlines, full email in-boxes, phone calls - comprised mostly of operational activities - suck up huge amounts of time and energy. We've often tried to work with such ineffective managers to set up training workshops and off-site planning retreats. But they are typically too busy fighting fires to spend time on any prevention strategies. As they work ever harder, the fires burn ever bigger. Too often this leads to burned-out managers, demoralized frontline staff, and slipping performance.
