Lone Wolf Leaders Just Don't Get It
Success today is created by caring about more than profitability and growth. Growth and profitability are created by employees. Trust and respect for employees is paramount to creating success. However, when discussing success, especially in today's economic turbulent times, I often ask clients exactly what is it that makes them different than their competitors? The answers are wide ranging and include things like: • World class service • Exceptional new product introduction • Technology • Experience • Our Chinese connection • Our design capabilities • Our Pricing • Operational excellence • One - Stop - Shop • Our logistics system • Locations • Our size All these things are good.

Sales Planning during Economic Crisis
A formal sales plan for 2010 is probably the most important activity that you should engage in during the economic challenges we are facing now and throughout the year.

I am talking about a realistic, documented plan that lists the specific activities required to accomplish the objectives set for targeted accounts with identified growth potential...

Are You Suffering Unnecessarily?
"Life means suffering." Truth #1 of the 4 Noble Truths of Buddhism I've been pondering about the amount of suffering there is in the world these days. Perhaps my awareness has been heightened by these turbulent times, coupled with an increase sense of compassion that has grown in me with the years. I realize that, as Buddha said, that there is suffering in life, but it seems to me that it's useful to look at it as either 'necessary suffering' or 'unnecessary suffering.'

Leadership in Crisis
Top executive failure rates are estimated to be as high as seventy-five percent and rarely lower than thirty percent. A McKinsey study found that the pipeline for future leaders is broken.
