The Number 1 Question Can A Consultant Really Make a Difference
Over the past few weeks I have received a spate of questions asking (although some readers have already formed an opinion), what role does an outside consultant really play in an organization? Specifically, what do they do and how can they help me? This is one of those rare instances when I wear the hats of an unbiased and neutral writer as well as a consultant (I write and teach accredited courses for associations such as Purchasing Management Association of Canada or PMAC). While I cannot speak for others, over the next few paragraphs I will attempt to provide you with some additional insight into how I approach my work. Hopefully this will at least begin to paint a clearer pricture and perhaps establish a framework for evaluating your current consulting arrangements to enable you to get more from existing relationships.

TWO LESSONS LEARNED FOR EMPLOYERS FROM MANCHESTER, CT SHOOTING
Today employers had an opportunity to witness first hand another instance of workplace violence. This one occurred in Manchester, CT where an African-American employee who had complained about racial harassment in the workplace, went on a shooting spree against his co-workers when his employer asked him to resign.

Employers also need to better understand their legal obligations with regard to complaints of unlawful harassment in the workplace.

"The Fatal 10 - Powerful Trends in Mediocre Organizations"
In the world of business, there are more clones than you might imagine. It is the rare organization that steps out of the herd to become remarkable. This illusion of safety creates apathy and mediocrity in most organizations while the leaders struggle to find excellence amidst the decay of the ordinary. As a student of organizational leadership, I analyze the similarities and special characteristics that differentiate one company from another. What makes one organization shine while others seem so content with remaining average? The most likely answer is fear. But the answer is, of course, much more complex. Fear of failure transcends the spectrum of our awareness. There is comfort and even safety in the mediocrity of our existence. Therefore, what it takes to leave the comfort of the pack becomes very rare.
