The Top 5 Techniques 1980
Back in the early eighties I figured there must be other, less daunting ways to prospect than cold-canvassing, and asking friends for referrals.

Kyaizen An Old New Quality Concept
The Japanese word 'Kaizen' means gradual, unending improvement; doing little things better; setting - and achieving - ever-higher standards. Masaaki Imai, the author of a book with the same title in the late eighties, says that it is Kaizen that is the simple truth behind Japan's economic miracle and the real reason the Japanese have become the masters of "flexible manufacturing" technology - the ability to adapt manufacturing processes to changing customer and market requirements, and do it fast.
The Many Benefits Of Working From Home
A new breed of entrepreneurs was born with the coming of the personal computer in the early eighties. They do not travel to an office for work, do not dress in business attire, nor follow the 9 to 5 routine. They are the home based workers. With the rapid progress in the fields of computer science, telecommunication, and internet, the number of these home based workers have been growing with each day.

Former IBM Pro Lashes Out Over Sales Assessment
A CEO of a fairly large-sized but under-performing OEM asked us to evaluate his sales force. One of the three regional managers, who assessed as poorly as any regional manager could, called to complain about his results. In addition to calling me a toad, Bob said that in the eighties he used to sell and manage at IBM and he led the top performing team. He finished by letting me know that we didn't know what we were talking about and, by the way, he would be picking me up at the airport for the kick-off of their national training initiative.

Is there a secret formula for business success?
On the long weekend I visited a regional mall in a suburb of San Diego. The mall was full of people but not as crowded like it used to be on previous long weekends. The first time I visited this mall was in the mid eighties when it had opened. Out of nostalgia I walked by the locations where I had designed stores when the mall had first opened. Unfortunately all of those businesses closed many years ago. Walking by numerous stores, many of them selling merchandise of similar categories I began to wonder how many of these businesses are going to be around ten years from now. A question popped into my mind. Why do some businesses succeed while the others fail?

Leadership Insight: The Balanced Leader
Workaholics need not apply. Throughout the late seventies, the Charlie Sheen Wall Street eighties, and even through a good part of the nineties, work ethic was defined as living at work, living work and committing every waking moment to work. To be a boss, you had to commit your life to the organization and outwork your peers and potential competitors for promotion.
