How leadership repeatedly under-mines their most valuable procurement asset
At a recent conference in which my Dangerous Supply Chain Myths seminar was introduced to a new audience, I was related a story that was both compelling and disconcerting. Compelling in that it clearly demonstrated a lack of stakeholder collaboration, disconcerting in that it is an occurrence that is played over and over again within public and private sector organizations throughout North America.

Why most managers aren’t up for the job
If you’re a business owner, try answering this question: What does it mean when your company is experiencing lots of turnover, a sharp drop in performance or revenues, people calling in sick all the time, and a general sense of malaise and crankiness? Although you may attribute these problems to the employees themselves, or a few bad apples among them, the reality is that all of these symptoms indicate serious trouble at the top. Without the right kind of leadership, individual business units and the company as a whole will suffer. But the blame cannot be placed entirely on the manager. Poor managerial performance is often a result of a poor selection process. I call it bad jobs happening to good people. Well, it’s not so much that the job itself is bad, but that it is the wrong one for that particular person.

General Contractors Liability Insurance, Certificates of Insurance, the Misnomers
General Contractors Liability Insurance, Additional Insureds, Certificates of Insurance, the Misnomers. Regarding General Contractors Liability Insurance and General Liability Insurance Certificates, there is a grand misnomer running rampant through the construction industry in NY, NJ and MA. I only speak about these states because I am familiar with their laws as they apply to the insurance, construction industry and the labor law.

IS YOUR BUSINESS PUTTING YOUR ASSETS AT RISK? BUSINESS ORGANIZATIONS: THE GENERAL PARTNERSHIP
The general partnership has existed for centuries. Today, it is controlled by the laws of the state in which it operates. The general partnership is easy to create - sometimes too easy.

This article explains what a general partnership is, how it is formed, and the rights and obligations of the partners. Protect your personal assets and make certain you understand how the general partnership works.
Who is Your Worst Critic?
Most of us do not have to look far to find our own worst critic. We just need to look in the mirror. Even though it is not good for our physical or spiritual health, we all tend to dwell on what we need to do better. There is an antidote to the malaise, and it is easier that we think. All we need to do is re-train our minds to avoid dwelling on our deficiencies. Easier said than done? Not really. There are three simple steps you can take that will alter your self perception if you have the will to do them.

Merger of Profit and Self Rediscovery
I was retired after a successful career in General and Financial Management roles, both domestically and internationally, but I was restless. I knew I had to find a way to escape this feeling of malaise. Although I do enjoy it occasionally, there is only so much golf one can play! After a life of constant activity, both within and without my business life, I wanted be "involved" again. I go on to describe where I looked, for what and why!
Blind CEOs
It is amazing how many toxic environments exist in organizations. One would think with all the leadership training it would be harder to find oppressive cultures. A larger conundrum is why so many top leaders simply cannot see their contribution to the malaise. In this article I explore the problem of blind CEOs and offer some antidotes.

Leadership Insight: Recover Your Leadership Mojo
I’ve been there. You’ve been there and there is a high probability that all people in a leadership position have been there sometime during their career. Some people will call it malaise, cruise control, mailing it in or going through the motions. For our purpose, we will call it Mojo Deficiency Syndrome. Whatever label it gets, it is the blocks of time where you just don’t have the passion and desire to move forward and you are content with managing the status quo. Unfortunately, leadership is really not about keeping things the same. It is much more about making it better.
