The Pizza Pope: The Early Years of Tom Monaghan
When Tom Monaghan was a young boy, he wanted to be three things: a shortstop for the Detroit Tigers, a priest, and an architect; founder of a multi-billion dollar pizza company was not on the list. However, that is exactly what Monaghan would become. Since launching Domino’s Pizza in 1960, Monaghan has grown the company into an empire, with over 8,000 locations in more than 54 countries around the world, and sales that exceed $4.6 billion. Nevertheless, the story of Monaghan’s life was not always as sweet as the success he would later achieve.

Export Promotion Strategies for Manufactured Goods: New Approaches to Trade Development in Africa
It is well known that the gains from export of processed and manufactured goods are greater than those from exporting primary commodities largely because of the higher value added.

Genuineness: Can You Bring Problems To Light?
Genuineness as a cultural core value allows you to know when something is not right. Genuineness is required in critical thinking and the process of evaluation in order to make improvements. This article explores behaviors that build genuineness in the work place and the cultural behaviors needed to bring problems to light. In most competitive cultures, when there is a problem – the person who recognizes it is often exploited and through competition is made the loser. Genuineness is the third of six collaborative core values that build highly effective teams. The other values are trust, interdependence, empathy, risk and success – TIGERS.

Team Interdependence When We Win I Win
Team Interdependence is the second of six collaborate core values that build highly effective teams. The other five are trust, genuineness, empathy, risk and success. The six collaborative values form the acronym, TIGERS. Team Interdependence is based on the concept: If we win - I win.

Managing Stress
Simply put, stress occurs when a person is not able to cope with the demands placed upon them. It’s an instinctive reaction to ‘fight or flight’. These days we’re no longer fleeing from sabre-toothed tigers or hunting woolly mammoths but the physical response is the same when we’re put in a stressful situation. The hormones released and physical changes prepare our bodies to deal with the situation but those now tend to be traffic jams, deadlines, confrontation, relationships and life changes.

SET GOALS! You Can’t Be Successful if You Don’t Define What That Means
Remember when you were a kid and your parents told you that you could do anything you set your mind to ... even if you wanted to become the president of the United States? I do! I can almost feel the same excitement I felt when they told me. I was excited to one day play in the NBA the NFL and I'd also be an all star pitcher for the Detroit Tigers. If someone would have asked me if I truly believed that I could accomplish all those things I would have said, "Of course I can, my parents told me I could do anything if I set my mind to it!" What was it that you wanted to accomplish?

What do animals have to do with marketing?
About a year ago now, I went along to a presentation on sales. The presenter advised us to think about people’s personalities when selling as four key animals – Monkeys, Lions, Dolphins and Elephants. Although all of us have a mixture of these personalities within us, we’re all dominated by one of them too.

Better to Try and Fail – or not try at all??
Recently I watched the 2007 movie Lions for Lambs. In this movie a brilliant but apathetic student asks his professor, “Is there any difference in trying but failing, and simply failing to try – if you end up in the same place anyway?” He was attempting to justify taking the safe route; never really taking a stand or trying anything big. What do you think? Do you cringe at trying something big because of the possibility of failure?
