Bad Boy Makes Good: Turner’s Success Factors
With his background in the classics, Turner had a penchant for recounting the successes of its greatest heroes: “When Alexander the Great took control when his dad died, he was twenty years old. He took the Macedonian Army, which was the best army in the world at the time, and conquered Greece, got the Greeks to all join with him, and then marched across the Hellespont and invaded Asia. They didn’t even know where the world ended at that time. And he was dead at thiry-three, thirteen years later. He kept marching. He hardly ever stopped. And he never lost a battle.”

“If there’s something I can do and I feel it should be done, I just want to do it,” says Johnson. “I just don’t want to leave it undone because I’ll sit back and say, why didn’t I do that? Why didn’t I start that business?”

Guerrilla Generosity
These days, there seem to be two kinds of businesses: givers and takers. Giver businesses are quick to give freebies to customers and prospects.

Why We Worry About the Wrong Things, Part II
I mentioned it earlier in a round-up, but I really want to draw people's attention to Time's cover article this week. The magazine has done some very good work lately, and this week's cover is another example.

Downturns and Guerrillas

The plain fact is that guerrillas have an advantage during tough times. They are able to work in relatively shorter time frames. Their penchant for information enables them to market more quickly and creatively to market needs.
Be Kind and Listen
It has been said that it’s nice to be important, but it’s more important to be nice. Another “oldie” is the fact that when you’re talking you’re not learning; it’s only when you listen that you learn.

A Dichotomy of Perspectives: A Discussion on Forrest Breyfogle’s New Book on Integrated Enterprise Excellence
Recently, I had the opportunity to exchange ideas on the veracity of the various models that organizations rely upon as the framework for building a successful enterprise. What prompted this open and productive exchange of ideas was a question that was recently posed regarding the merits of Forrest Breyfogle’s latest book on Integrated Enterprise Excellence (or for those of you that have a penchant for acronyms, IEE). In the following paragraphs I will share a few of the more meaningful discussion streams starting with the original question.
