Imagine a Bigger Market and You'll See a Bigger Market
Scientists in two studies at the University of Virginia discovered that softball players and golfers who had good days perceived balls and golf holes as larger than the players who had bad days. The question is, Did this difference in perception cause the player to have better days or did the day's performance cause the players to perceive the ball and holes as bigger?

Oil, Water, and Teamwork
Did you ever wonder why a professional sports team that seems to have so many outstanding players, never wins the championship? Often times they don’t even make it to the playoffs. Perhaps you live in a city plagued by this team. Frustrating isn’t it? The same malfunction occurs in many businesses today. You have an all star team, but you are getting a sub par performance. Does top management do more refereeing than managing?

Synergy, The Power of the Flock
What happens when a group of players with mediocre talent outperforms a team of superstars? Just because you have a group of players playing together doesn’t mean they’re a team. “It’s easy to get the players. Getting them to play together, that’s the hard part,” said Casey Stengel, the former great New York Yankee manager.

Live Consultant Thinking: Looking at A Business Coach in the Corporate Strategy
In most sports, certainly in most sports businesses, the line-up is similar. You have the owners, the general manager, other managers, the head coach, coaching staff, trainers, scouts and recruiters, ticket sellers, and hopefully a roster of all-star players. This alignment of tasks and talents works well most of the time. With so many great sports business models to learn from, you wonder why we are slow to acknowledge the important role of coach in general business.

Team Excellence Second Ingredient - The Right People
Having the right people on a team is fundamental to top performance. Too often we take for granted the players we are given for a team regardless of whether they are right for it or not. That is a mistake. This article describes a process to remove the wrong players.

Why Good Looking Mobile Home Parks Have Ugly Returns
Some mobile home park buyers have this erroneous idea that the goal is to buy a great looking asset. They even rate the parks they look at based on physical appearance. The star system is a good example. Most people think a five-star park is always superior to a one star park. However, the only real star system they should consider is which park is a superstar on cash flow. Because at the end of the day, all that really matters when you own a mobile home park is making money. Parks that make money are great, no matter how ugly they are, and parks that lose money are dogs, despite how cute their entry may be. And, as a general rule, the prettier the park, the uglier the cash flow.

Leadership Tip: Dream On
Remember when you were a kid and the first evening star began to beckon in a slowly dimming sky? Were you the kid who said "star light, star bright, I want the wish I wish tonight?" Did someone tell you to stop being "so childish" or were you supported in wishing your dream? It has been said that without vision the people will perish. When we stop looking toward an ideal that we are reaching for the world becomes flat and stale. In all leadership development programs there needs to be a module on keeping dreams alive.
Are you a Star?
Can you be a "star" all the time - shining and twinkling high above everyone else, every day? I think a few remarkable people can, but much more attainable for most is being a "star" some of the time.
Only A Level Players Need Apply
“A” level players want to work with other “A” level players. It makes them better, stronger and even more productive. So, the question is how much time and energy and effort do we spend trying to make “B” level players into “A” level players? How much success have we had? How about instead today we make a commitment to go out and start finding and bringing in“A” level players.
