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.

How To Spot Biggest Applicant Lies
| |
| Over the last few years we have seen a significant rise in unemployment rates nationwide, some of the highest in the last few decades actually. To some recruiters this is a dream come true due to the overflow of applicants that they now have, but to the true Talent Scouts this is a complete nightmare. Why? Because now it is that much more difficult to find that top 1%. I have always been a firm believer that a resume is a limited representation of the candidate. So if this is indeed the case, what does this say about them when the majority of the information in their resume is fabricated and/or inaccurate? |

Take 5: Keys to increasing value of a business owner’s estate
| |
| Just as talented top stars are key to the success of any theatrical production, the strength of a company’s top stars – its management team – determines up to 30 percent of its value.
Although most business owners know that sales, target markets, competition and other factors contribute to valuation, many don’t realize the bottom-line value of management teams. Fewer still understand that the most effective way to strengthen their management team – and ultimately achieve their goal of increased estate value – isn’t necessarily through expensive classes, trust-building ropes and ladders courses, or highly paid execs; rather, business owners who learn how to ally human and organizational capital – in other words, people and strategy – are the ones who will see valuation skyrocket.

A Few "Talent Lessons" from the Arts
| |
| Been meaning to publish this for a while. If we are in an Age of Talent, then we can turn to guidance from arenas where the Big Idea of Talent has been standard fare for eons. Namely, the likes of the arts. I put together a single PPT slide called "A Few 'Talent Lessons' from the Arts." You'll find the content (pretty self-explanatory) below—and then another tiny Special Presentation. To wit |

Most of the Time Talent's Not Enough
| |
| You're a talented writer, designer, speaker, consultant, coach, salesperson, but doors aren't flying open for you. Why not? Talent, I'm afraid, is assumed - a lot of people have talent. It's the price to get into the game. Talent, married with creativity, however, is how you get out of the cheap seats. (In fact, creativity will allow you to get places with lesser talent than others - oops, potential self indictment) |

Success Really Isn’t About Money…
| |
| This morning I had a meeting with several professional Scouts. These people make their livings serving the Boy Scouts of America. They are not likely to become wealthy in the conventional sense. Their jobs involve long hours and they all serve well above and beyond the normal parameters of their job descriptions... |

America’s Got Talent?
| |
| If you have been watching NBC on Monday nights recently you may have seen the show “America’s Got Talent”. It doesn’t specify what kind of talent America’s got – just that we have it. Tonight we had examples of talent from midget break dancers, a Frank Sinatra wanna-be, and a group of eleven year old dancing girls. I guess they define “talent” quite loosely on this show.
Which brings me to the following question: just how do you define talent? Personally, I have been known to strum the banjo, but does that kind of talent prepare anyone to ascend the management ladder in today’s corporate America? I think not.

Where Passion Meets Mission
| |
| Employee engagement is often the rallying cry for companies seeking to maximize productivity and retain valued talent. However, by not digging into the essence of who people are at their core and aligning the talent with the work that needs to be done, most companies are missing and mightily the talent treasure they already have. |
