3 Leadership Rules to Get Employee Buy-In
Did you ever surprise someone with a gift and did not get the response you were hoping for? This happens all the time. Part of the reason is we can only get inside someone else's thinking and emotions to a point; no matter how well we know them. It's the same at work. You will find 3 leadership rules to get employee buy-in, that if followed will create inclusion in the workplace.

5 Ways to Get Engaged at Work
While some of us really do meet the love of our life at work, this is not about that. This is about an engineering type of being engaged; like the gears in a machine that fit together and make things run smoothly. Lots of recent articles I've seen on various blogs have been about friends working together. The big question is: is it better for friends to work together or be in separate areas of the company? I have 5 ways to make that happen.

3 Ways to Keep “Pattern Spills” from Hurting Your Business
Einstein once defined insanity as "doing the same things over and over and expecting different results". Think about your business. What do you keep repeating hoping it will turn out better this time? Do you ever feel "duped" by a colleague or even a customer? Do you keep knocking your head against the wall saying "I can't believe this happened again?"

Workplace Conflict and Being True to Yourself
Stress, tension, anxiety, anger, upset, depression, frustration, annoyance, and wasted time. They all go with the package called being human. They all show up at home, at work, and even at the supermarket. One of the biggest questions I get when folks ask about their own personal situations at work is how to cut the time wasted in attempting to resolve conflicts that don't want to just go away. They are able to see the patterns and even the parts they play in the office dramas. However, I am told that unless they apologize or just let the conflict go, it sits, like a well made snowman on a freezing winter day.

5 Steps to Become Conflict Competent
Conflict is a drain on all of us, emotionally, physically, and financially. There are always new, annoying problems that lead to conflict.

Morale is King (and Queen) of the Workplace

Entrepreneur Flexibility: More than Practicing Yoga
We are told to be flexible, that the only constant in life is change; that we can't step in the same river twice, as heraclitus said hundreds of years ago.
Entrepreneur Education: Do Good Bosses Really Exist?
Think about the bosses you have had that you would follow anywhere. What are the basic characteristics of these folks? It becomes interesting to look for the common denominators that are "good boss" requirements. I recently asked several groups in various organizations how they would categorize the best of their bosses. Here is where it got interesting. They were only a few basics that ran across cultures and up and down organizations. These were generic patterns of respect, civility (this word was used over and over), empowerment, and ability to acknowledge work well done.
How Your Brain Can Make You Nuts at Work
Sometimes there is a frustrating moment when you are not sure what you see, hear, and feel is making sense to anyone but you. It is crazy making to check what is going on in a meeting and you are the only one sensing the tension and disconnect. Maybe, just maybe, it is not what is happening in the room at that exact time. Perhaps, it is a memory trace of a past event in your lif,e and there you are, in a sense, reliving it. The scientific term for this is called an engram. Here is an example: You are a toddler and the family is going to the beach for the first time. Everyone is excited about flying from land-locked Oklahoma to Florida.

Entrepreneur Strategies: The Home-Work Connection
When you are stressed at work do you ever say "My home is my haven?" And when there is too much going on at home think "I can't wait to get to work so I don't have to think about the problems at home?" Work and home seem like different worlds. We say we want work/life balance as if they are opposite chunks of matter we can weigh on a scale. Thinking we can totally separate who we are at work from who we are at home is an illusion. Sure, there are some differences. Yet, the common denominator is that we bring ourselves to work, with all our patterned behavior, and we take that same self home. The other common denominator is that work and home are both relationship systems that are powerful influencers on us.
Entrepreneurs as Coaches
I was at a client's company last week and heard a brief hallway conversation as I was waiting for my lunch appointment. The gist of what was said sounded like two people in a war torn country. "I bought lots of canned goods that were on sale just in case I lose my job" said person one. The response was "Yeah, I know what you mean; I just went to the thrift store to get my kids spring clothes because I am afraid to spend too much money." This went back and forth until they were out of earshot.
Fairy Tales
One of my clients told me the following story: "we were sitting in a meeting and it was, to say the least, very tense. The big boss was angry with her leadership team. She wanted the finished proposal for a major, big, gargantuan business deal finished before the sun set that day, right after the meeting. Everyone took a breath and looked down at the table. They all knew it was impossible. The stats had not been delivered yet and there was no way it could be done and done right by early evening, even by late that night.
