Company Stages Revisted
A few days ago I wrote about the transition from a small to medium to large business. I had a few people write to me with additional questions, including requests to define the sizes, talk more about the issues during the transition, and make suggestions about how to address things. One of the notes came from a long time friend – Barry Culman – who is currently the president of SPADAC (Spacial Data Analytics Corp.)

12 Tips for New Managers and Managers Who Want to Improve Results
The transition from individual contributor to Manager/Leader is difficult because a whole new mindset is required. You must now get work done through others, think from “Big Picture” to detail rather than the other way around and become an expert at delegation, which is a learned skill. People are very smart. They will always figure out your agenda because your actions speak louder than your words. Authoritarian management no longer works because people are too well informed and have many other choices.

Personal Branding: Why is it so important?
Whether you're working for an employer, in career transition or a small business owner, personal branding and reputation management is an important aspect of marketing yourself or your business. Perhaps it is the first step and the most important, to really learn who you are (apart from being associated with your company or business). Often, those in career transition and even small business owners realize the importance of having a solid reputation and large network and what that can do for them in terms of leads and opportunities. But many people have really thought about it nor have they invested the time into figuring out their personal brand. As much as we often hide behind them, we're not defined by our companies. We're defined by who we are and how we show up each and every day.
