Place Those Small Bets, Quickly!
Nothing goes so well with that first cup of coffee as having your biases confirmed! In yesterday's Wall Street Journal ("In Search of Growth Leaders"), University of Virginia/Darden Graduate School of Business Prof Sean Carr, et al., lay out a growth model. There are, more or less, two flavors of companies:

Rudeness at Work
How important is it to you that people be polite at work? A professor of psychology at West Chester University in Pennsylvania conducted a study all about rudeness in the workplace. Jennifer Bunk found that about 75 percent of workers say they’re treated rudely at least once a year. That can mean anything from being ignored by the boss or hearing snide remarks from coworkers.
Why to forgive yourself and others?
Forgiveness can make you feel so much better. Holding a grudge or holding on to something that happened in the past can make you sick mentally, physically and emotionally.
Delegation - What is the role of a Manager?
Are you reluctant to let go of tasks because you fear someone else will do them better? People that struggle to delegate often stock pile their knowledge. They aren’t good at sharing skills, as they like to feel that they are needed. Being successful does not mean being that best at everything, but knowing when to use the right people to help.
How Powerful Is Your Denial
The defense mechanisms of denial and blame help to protect the fragile male ego. They also block him from creating a healthy self-image.
Goal Setting: Specific vs. General
It's a new year and I look at it as a clean slate in which to create. Create anything I want. It doesn't matter what goals I didn't get or did get last year. I get to dream and plan for this year with no baggage from the past. I will take the lessons learned and make some new success habits. But it is just so darn exciting to be sitting with a fresh canvas upon which I get to create!

The True Measure of Abundance: An Extraordinary Life
One of my clients used the expression, “earning a living,” and it struck me that this phrasing is so painfully close to saying “earning a life.” If we equate earning money with earning the right to live, we are likely to find ourselves in what I call Endurance (yes, with a capital E).
Introduction: Human Capital and Economic Development
Health and education are both components of human capital and contributors to human welfare. One index of human welfare, which incorporates income, education and health, shows that Africa’s level of ‘human development’ is the lowest of any region in the world.
2.8 The foundations of a decent work strategy for poverty reduction: Working Out of Poverty
Most analysts of the nature and causes of poverty agree that growth in per capita income is essential to reducing poverty and that persistent growth failures are accompanied by a persistent failure to reduce poverty. However, they have not found a stable relationship between the rate of average per capita growth and the rate of poverty reduction.

The decent work dividend
How to conquer our fear of failure
Our fear of failure is probably the single greatest obstacle to success in our adult lives. We become totally preoccupied with not making a mistake and with seeking approval.

The Role of Microfinance in Addressing the HIV/AIDS Pandemic in Zambia: The Rainbow Model Provides a Future for AIDS Orphans
Poverty and HIV/AIDS constitute a vicious circle. Poverty creates vulnerability to HIV/AIDS, and HIV/AIDS leads to poverty. Unfortunately, the interventions of the national and international community are not moving as quickly as the desperation and the loss of hope in the people coping with the pandemic at the grassroots level.

What is Marketing in the First Place?
Marketing is absolutely every bit of contact any part of your business has with any segment of the public. Guerrillas view marketing as a circle that begins with your ideas for generating revenue and continues on with the goal of amassing a large number of repeat and referral customers. The three keys words in that paragraph are EVERY, REPEAT, and REFERRAL. If your marketing is not a circle, it's a straight line that leads directly into Chapters 7, 11, or 13 in the bankruptcy courts.

Who Is In Your Circle of Influence What Does That Say About You
We have heard that old saying, “You are judged by the company you keep.” That saying is important in our business life and our personal life. Who you associate with will say as much about you, your ethics, your integrity, your honesty, your core values, your beliefs, your passion and your future intentions as your actual personal behavior does. And as a business owner or business leader, you are being observed every minute of every day. Colleagues, clients, vendors, suppliers, et al are all scrutinizing, watching, listening to those people you influence. Therefore, this is a serious matter for consideration when you decide who will be in your circle of influence. Your Strategic Thinking Business Coach challenges you to stop and look around you. Who do you see? Who is there? Who is in your circle of influence?

Overcome Your Fear of Writing
Fear is at the root of bad writing. It causes our minds to clamp down. It fosters procrastination, which leads to dashed-off writing, which leads to bad results. Stop the vicious cycle with a 1-2-3 punch.
Leaders Should Think Bigger
You know who you know… Who don’t you know that you need to know to expand your circle of influence?

Building Wealth by Learning Lessons from the Mistakes of Others
It has been estimated that at least 80% of Americans are in debt. If you are keeping up with your neighbor in the spending arena, it is highly likely that your AND your neighbor are in that 80 % who are constantly struggling to make ends meet. It is highly likely that you are on the vicious treadmill, always worried about making your paycheck stretch until you receive the next one.

Why Should I Trust You As My Leader?
It happens all the time. We “require” the employees of our organization to blindly trust in the changes we implement, although we haven’t fully explained the transformation and the reasons behind it. Quite often the change and the reasons behind it might seem quite obvious to those who have the inside information and are part of the management inner circle. To employees outside of the circle, however, the change causes impact, discomfort and anxiety. As executives of our organization, should we expect compliance and blind trust, or is the responsibility on our shoulders to communicate and lead?
Entrepreneurs and the “Oh! No!” Trap
Ever hear of the “Ohno Circle”? It was started by Taiichi Ohno on the Toyota shop floor decades ago. Mr. Ohno was known to draw a chalk circle around managers and engineers and have them stand still in the circle to observe and document all the problems in that particular production area. They had to stay and stand for hours to see and understand what was not working and then figure out how to fix the issues.
