The Ultimate Fighting Champion: Dana White is Born
The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) used to be nothing more than an underground fighting league, and one which was scarcely accepted in the U.S. That was, until Dana White came along. White transformed the UFC into one of the most mainstream and popular sports on the scene today. By cleaning up its image and marketing it as a legitimate sport, White was able to create a successful organization, whose events can now be seen on television in more than 35 countries around the world.

Stepping Into the Ring: The UFC Fights Back
“It was around 1997 or 1998 that it all turned around for us,” says White. “We were all boxing guys and I used to think UFC was a joke. I would say, ‘those guys would get their asses kicked by a boxer.” That was, until White and the Feretti brothers began taking Jujitsu lesson, which White says, “opened our eyes to a whole new world. It literally changed my life.”

Your Limitations - Are they a Black Swan?
umor me for a moment today. Please close your eyes and envision a swan. Now, take a few moments and describe that swan. What words did you use? White, graceful, bird, clean, dirty, ugly duckling, etc. Long ago, in Europe, everyone believed that all swans were white. Why was that? Well, it was because all anyone had ever seen were swans that were white. Everyone thought that until in 1967. That was when Australia was found as well as the black swan. So what does this have to do with organizing or productivity? Keep reading to find out! Don't limit yourself!
An Elephant Sized Sales Tip You Need Now
Look Down Lady - There's An Elephant On Your Foot! (And this is a pachyderm in dire need of a pedicure.) This is the ELEPHANT that hardly anyone ever asks about with their potential customer: "Who was your previous supplier and why are you unhappy with them?" Don't be sooooooo afraid of mentioning your competition because you're terrified you'll lose the sale too. A BIG, elephant-sized mistake that would be. Pssst. You need to know what your customer's expectations are of you. You need to know what made them so unhappy with their last supplier that they dumped them (or are considering it)

Service Professionals Can Increase Sales By Swapping the Elephant Gun for the Fly Swatter
How many times do salespeople especially those involved in services attempt to sell an elephant gun for a solution with the fly swatter would work perfectly fine? Too often in the quest to increase sales, companies forget about the needs of the customer and focus on their own immediate needs – filling their pocketbooks.

Business Growth: The Sales Managers Secret Weapon
In a recent poll, I asked managers, "What is the biggest challenge you face in 2009?" Answer: "Increasing sales and doing it with fewer resources." Before you can address these challenges, I encourage you to take care of what's likely to be the biggest roadblock you have, and you may not even realize it's there. The elephant in the room. Your company feels the economic pain. Sales are down, morale is low, your people know you have to make cuts. Everyone feels tired, overworked and taken for granted. Underneath it all is fear, anxiety, and even paranoia. It all points to INSECURITY - that elephant in the room, and it's keeping your people stuck in low productivity levels.

Corporate Strategy and the Elephant in the Room
Recession weary executives have a new challenge to face. Times have changed and businesses must re-evaluate their pre-recession strategies. The elephant in the room is in full view, but organizational leaders do not like to talk about it or even think about it. Yes, the elephant in the room, that no one likes to address, is outdated strategy and the need for new and improved strategic thinking. Making change to the way we have operated in the past in difficult. A starting point for change is to correct the self-inflicted organizational dysfunction that occurs during strategy development.
