How Middle Managers are Key to Company Success
In hierarchal organizations, strategic intent flows from the top, while tactical implementation is carried out at the bottom. In the middle of the flow are middle managers: first- second- and third tier supervisors, managers and senior managers who are mandated to proactively deliver the planned strategy's goals. The challenge is that the bulk of their energy is spent tactically (and often) reactively responding to pressures from customers, subordinates, peers and their boss. In fact, how the middle manager responds on a moment-by-moment basis is more impactful to a strategy's success (and an organization's cohesion) than the communication of the plan in the first place.

First Call --- Last Look
A former colleague of mind was fond of quoting what he considered "less competent" sales people who claim--- "My customers don't give last looks." His response; "Well, that just means someone else is getting it - Batman!" I really love that quote. Unfortunately it doesn't go far enough. The real question is what do you do when you get last look? Do you automatically match the low price? Unfortunately, that is the first response of most sales people. In fact, it is often the first response of many managers. The real test is how you maintain the business at a price that is profitable, acceptable and meets your margin objectives. Can you sell the customer at a higher price when he has a lower priced quote staring him in the face?

A hard working brand or just another pretty face
Many of us received our brand training through a practice of visual identity. In other wards, we created ad campaigns and other tactical applications to provide brand distinction. Yet, I know everyone reading this has heard numerous times and from multiple sources that a brand is not a logo or a tagline or a color palette. And still, not everyone realizes the difference between branding and brand development – or, visual identity vs. strategic identity. Brand development is the discovery of a brand’s unique (strategic) distinction and branding is the tactical (visual) application of that distinction.
