Doing Poorly Until You Learn To Do Better
Anything worth doing is worth doing poorly. When I was a youngster I got into a number of fist fights on the school grounds. Now fighting was obviously frowned on by all teachers, but in those days kids settled differences between themselves and there was never any thought--regardless of the outcome of the tussle, which in most cases lasted just two or three blows--of getting a knife or a baseball bat, certainly not a gun, to get even with the victor. No, once the scuffle ended it was all over.
The Power of Words
In a world so full of "me first" attitudes, it is no wonder we see so much turmoil and dysfunction in the world around us. The financial fiasco being played out on the national stage is evidence that something is seriously wrong. Day after day, words of disaster come at us from all directions; words that instill fear, panic and negativity. News of foreclosures, more bank failures, bail outs totaling billions of dollars...it is no wonder the confidence level of people in our country is the lowest it has been in 28 years. That has to change and it can if we commit ourselves to changing what "we think about" and "what we say" to ourselves and others!

Learning From Defeat
I enjoyed a History Channel presentation on Gladiator History & Times the other evening. It featured the story of the gladiator Verus. He was one of the only gladiators to have one of his fights written about blow by blow. He said he learned more from defeat than from victory.

Workplace Conflict and Office Politics
Did you ever want to stuff a sock in the mouth of the guy in the next cubicle who never stops making really bad jokes? And he keeps it up all day! Have you ever clenched your fist and had to walk away from the hot shot who thinks she has all the answers? Ever get frustrated with the level of gossip that keeps going round and round the office like a never ending story? Such frustrations are understandable. Yet, most of us rarely stop long enough to figure out a new way to tackle the problems. Interesting that companies have spent billions of dollars on programs to enhance communication skills and team collaboration, yet interpersonal conflicts and disappointments continue to cause undue stress and upset.

What can the movie- Due Date, with Robert Downey Jr. and Zach Galifianakis, teach you about your leadership style?
Leadership comes in all different styles. This article explores the contrast between the iron fist and the wet noodle approach. By comparing the very different characters in the movie Due Date, we can see how their extreme differences would give them the chance to learn from each other, translate this into leadership styles and we can do the same. More importantly, we can learn about our own style and how we can improve. Mix in a little comic relief, and we will all soon be laughing at ourselves, or not. Enjoy.
The Motivation Myth
After six years at Universal Pictures, Harry Cohn formed Columbia Pictures in 1924. During the following decades he ran the company with an iron fist. His image as a tyrant was reinforced by the riding whip he kept near his desk to crack for emphasis. Cohn's form of "motivation" led to the greatest creative turnover of any major studio. At his funeral in 1958, one observer suggested that the 1,300 attendees "had not come to bid farewell, but to make sure he was actually dead."
