How to Deal: Difficult Leaders
Your office morale is low, although your productivity is at a constant, sub par level. The atmosphere in the organization is that of sheer terror and dissatisfaction, not because of a near miss deadline, but because a supervisor has an overly authoritative approach to leading his team, or department. Such a scenario is not as far-fetched as it may seem. In many organizations, an over zealous (but well meaning) supervisor or manager may exercise severe leadership tactics in order to create the most successful team possible.

Why You Should Keep Mum to Mom
Carefully consider who to listen to when considering a franchise purchase.

What do I Know about Success?

His contention was that I had not yet reached the level of success I’ve set for myself, so why would I be teaching others how to create success?
Is Your Mission Statement Written by Dilbert
There’s no more painful corporate ritual than the every-few-years mission statement revision. Here’s where a group of well-meaning people gather for several meetings, markers in hand, to torturously wordsmith themselves into agreement. Does this mission statement typically fire up everyone? Does it fire up anyone? The employees take the t-shirts home to their kids. The gold frames will be filed, roundly. There is no pulse-quickening. Instead, employees, customers, suppliers – everyone except execs and the authors themselves -- see the mission statement as vague, irrelevant, and disconnected from real work. The corporate Ginsu won’t even cut a tomato.

Network Member Question As far as I know, sometimes the terms “purchasing” and “procurement” can be used as the same meaning. But in many cases it seems that both have different boundaries or meanings. So what is really the meaning behind the terms?

What is your sales approach? Is it effective meaning are you doing things right? Maybe the words of Astronaut Neil Armstrong when he was the first man to walk on the moon have far more meaning to you as a sales professional that you realize?
Can We Talk?
It's a life-long task to learn to extract the meaning from the words, especially when that meaning has little to do with what the words mean. The task very often involves listening with the heart and blocking out the head — particularly in very intimate relationships.
Involuntary Midlife Reinvention
Every event in life can be seen either as happening to us, or happening for us. How we look at it takes no more effort than Epictetus expended in coming to the realization that we are, after all, the Meaning Givers in the physical universe and that whatever meaning we choose to put on events will, ultimately, determine their outcome and their effects.
Getting It Wrong
So often we use familiar quotes that leave out "the next couple of lines." And the meaning is distorted beyond recognition in the process. Consider "A foolish consistency is the hobgoblins of little minds," from Ralph Waldo Emerson. The meaning is obviously that changing your mind is no sin; and that the wise among us change when circumstances change.

Lesson #4: “Without principles, a purpose is dangerous, for it confuses ends with means”
“A true purpose always has ethical and moral content, which can be either implicit or explicit. It is a statement to which all members of the community can say with the wholeness of mind, body and spirit,” says Hock. “’If we (notice the plural) could achieve that, then my (notice the singular) life would have meaning.’ By that test, does making next quarter’s profit give my life meaning? It may be a necessity, it may be desirable, it may be beneficial in some way, but it’s not a purpose. It’s a relatively meaningless objective or goal.”
With All My Heart and Soul
Spirit and meaning is a missing link in many lives, teams, and organizations. Many who have material prosperity live in spiritual poverty. That's what's driving the rapidly growing number of meaning seekers in society. We want to know that our lives count for something. We want to make a difference. Our work and our lives become ever more meaningful the more they are in harmony with who we are and touch the very core of why we exist. We are spiritual beings having a human experience.
Leaders are Always on Stage
As a leader you must never forget that you are the boss. You have power, and your decisions impact the lives and careers of the people on your team. Because you are the boss your people watch and analyze your every move-looking for meaning and clues to what you are thinking. What is most important to understand is that your people place meaning on your behaviors based on their own unique perspective.
