Which Seat Should I Take?
This article is the first article from the “Sitting on the Sideline: Life Expectations Series. Part one of this series focuses on the decisions we make or don't make and who we hold accountable.

Why Succession Planning
Succession planning is not just a nice thing to do, but rather it is a necessary process that should be in place to protect the overall health of the organization – big or small. Who is going to step into your shoes when you get promoted, have a major medical problem or leave the organization? What is your retention strategy for the individuals who are important to the success of your organization?

Feeling Ignored
Dear Jane, I get lost in a crowd, like I’m invisible. I pretend not to care and I know I make things worse by dressing in drab clothes. But I feel like I don’t matter to anyone. What can I do short of screaming, “Here I am! Pay attention to me!” Being ignored—not feeling special or valued—is one of the most hurtful experiences to endure. Unless we’re so Britney Spears-like famous that we lose all privacy, I think all of us have felt invisible and ignored. Given that the way you dress reinforces your pain, it’s likely that you have an old belief that you are unimportant.

Winning is not an accident
As many of you already know I’m a bit of a sports enthusiast. Baseball & football are the sports I know the most about and I use many analogies, even with my clients who don’t care a lick about sports. After watching my local Baltimore Ravens team get their backsides handed to them by the New England Patriots, I couldn’t help but give credit where credit is due. Therefore, below is an excellent article by management consultant John Baldoni from the WHARTON CENTER FOR LEADERSHIP AND CHANGE MANAGEMENT about the winning formula developed by Bill Belichick of the New England Patriots. Unlike baseball, there is a salary cap in the NFL so you can’t buy championships. In the NFL you need solid leadership to win back to back championships as the Patriot’s have done and a third may be on the way.
Super Stars Don't Make the Team
So often in sports we see super stars hired for their names. They come in and get their stats and a bigger name for themselves, but do nothing for the team. They think they are the team, they ignore the team, or they look down on the individual members of the team. It's the same in business.
In His Own Footsteps: The Early Years of Philip Knight
He might never have played pro sports or owned a sports team, but Philip Knight has been dubbed the “most powerful person in sports” by Sports Illustrated. Worth an estimated $7.1 billion, Knight turned an idea he first penned in a college essay into the largest sportswear supplier in the world. Today, Nike Inc. earns revenues in excess of $15 billion and has become one of the world’s most recognized brands.

Delegation
As you step into a leadership role, your job is to get things done through others. But what if they don’t do it correctly? Or they may not get it done on time and now you are still responsible when they mess up. Yes… just like the coach of a sports team, you are putting your future in the hands of others. It can get pretty scary. Sometimes it might seem easier just to do it yourself. And, that’s the trap. It might be safer to do it yourself, but like the sports coach you cannot get it all done by yourself. Delegation (or coaching) is the only answer.
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?

Qualities of an Effective Sales Team
In sports, there is an old adage, “There is no ‘I’ in team”. This statement is especially true in a sales team. How do you take a group of individuals and make them a cohesive, productive, and thriving sales team?
Ideas To Make Money As A Business Coach
If you ask most people about coaches they will usually think about sports like football or basketball who teach sports athletes how to perform as a team as well as individuals. Another type of coaching much in demand these days is an Internet business coach which offers a great way to make money. You will find there are many business people out there who will pay you to help them be more successful.
Encourage Personal Branding to Build a Strong Company
I've spent quite a bit of time lately thinking about personal branding and what role it can play in the overall business strategy of a company. Each time I think about it I continue to do so in terms of how it plays a role in sports. I'm sure that just like me, when you played any type of organized sports when you were young, the coach constantly talked with you about the importance of the TEAM. I'm sure you all heard the saying, "There is no I in team" a million times as you came up through the ranks.
Sports Art as an Investment
Sports art has been around from the beginning, unlike landscape painting as a genre, which came much later. Sports art includes all of the sporting animals. Some of the most beautiful and exciting art is sports art, lots of action, movement and solid technique.
How Enzo Ferrari Started Out: The Birth of an Automotive Visionary
