  • 5 Steps to Better Communication
    While it would be nice to have the oratory skill of Tony Blair or to possess the ability to write like Jim Collins you don’t have to be a polished public speaker or a prolific writer to be an effective communicator. It can take years of training to master the art of weaving together great word pictures in either written or oral form.
  • Are You Making the Most of Your Talent and Resources?
    I’ve written often on the subject of leadership development and talent management because very few things in business can catalyze change and create sustainable growth like leaders who understand how to leverage their talent and resources. It takes more than charisma and subject matter expertise to be a leader it also takes a keen understanding of how to create organizational leverage.
  • Casting Stones
    There has been much written about the life and death of Ken Lay since he passed away earlier this week. I have long made it a point not to sit in judgment of others as it is very difficult to properly connect the dots from afar. It is my belief that there are indeed at least two sides to every story and that what often times appears in the media as hard news can actually be editorial commentary that may or may not portray the reality of a given situation.
  • Confidence vs. Arrogance
    When you think of a true leader do you envision someone with the quiet confidence of Michael Dell or the blatant arrogance of Donald Trump? In the competitive world of business a reserved attitude of humility can often be misinterpreted as a sign of weakness. However if you’ve ever negotiated with a truly confident and humble person you’ll find that their resolve is often much greater than the feigned confidence of the arrogant.
  • Conflict Resolution
    This article by Mike Myatt describes the importance of conflict resolution in business
  • Doing The Right Thing
    One of my favorite things to write about is the topic of leadership and one of my favorite business theorists is Peter Drucker. Peter Drucker has authored more than 35 books and is considered by many to be the founding father on the study of management practices. In this blog post I will breakdown one of my favorite “Druckerisms” which states that: “managers do things right while leaders do the right things.”
  • Executive Coaching - The Ultimate Advantage
    This article describes the benefits of executive coaching
  • Follow Through
    Follow through…it seems like a pretty basic concept. One of my original mentors in business told me
  • How's Your Elevator Pitch?
    One of the first and most important professional communication techniques I was taught in business was the importance of developing an “Elevator Pitch”…a very short statement describing what it is that you do. In fifty words or less (about 30 – 45 seconds) you should be able to communicate who you are, what you do, who you do it for and how people benefit from what you do.
  • Knowledge Management
    One of great challenges for any business is to learn to efficiently and cost effectively leverage knowledge on an enterprise wide basis. We have all heard the saying that “knowledge is power”…
  • Leadership...The Roles of Leaders vs. Managers in Business
    There has been a lot of politically correct pontificating of late in corporate circles about the differences between managers and leaders. Most of the commentary I have read attempts to please both audiences. Those of you who have read my work in the past know that I am rarely politically correct nor do I ever seek to try and please all the people all the time.
  • Passion Equals Purpose
    Passion is a key driver in achieving success because passion creates purpose. Purpose in turn creates focus, focus leads to results and results will normally move you closer to the fulfillment of your goals.
  • Private Equity vs. Venture Capital
    What is the difference between Venture Capital and Private Equity?

    The text book answer that would be given by most B-School professors is that venture capital is a subset of a larger private equity asset class which includes venture capital, LBO’s, MBO’s, MBI’s, bridge and mezzanine investments.
  • Rethinking "Good To Great"
    Let me begin by saying that I am generally speaking a fan of Jim Collins and his work, and that I enjoyed reading “Good To Great”. I believe there is a plethora of quality information to be gleaned from the pages of “Good To Great,” but I also believe there are some potentially dangerous and misleading concepts/principles that can cause great harm to a business if taken out of context.
  • So, You Want To Be An Entrepreneur?
    While every entrepreneur has their own motivation for going into business, based on my experience the following statements reflect a valid representative sampling of the most common reasons; to create more income
  • The First Day On The Job
    The ability to scale your company will be largely dependant on your ability to recruit, retain, and properly deploy new employees. While certainly important, recruiting is not the end-game, but rather it is the very first step in the talent management lifecycle. Over the years I have watched great recruiting efforts fall prey to a sudden death when everything that management communicated to the new hire during the interview process was completely unwound by the reality of what they experienced on their first day on the job.
  • The Heart of a Warrior
    Floating on the Willamette River watching last night’s fireworks with my family I couldn’t help but think of our founding fathers and the sacrifices they made when they fought to establish our country’s freedom. Those thoughts of respect and admiration in turn led me to think about of our troops oversees currently fighting to protect our way of life and preserve our freedom.

Most people in business understand the need to build brand equity at the corporate level or for products, services, intellectual property, etc., but very few understand the substantial benefits that are created from increasing their personal brand equity.

  • The Ruse of Ambiguity
    Have you ever finished listening to an explanation from a purported subject matter expert only to wonder what it was they just said? It has been my experience that the more vague, general or ambiguous an explanation, the less command of the subject matter the person doing the explaining likely possesses.
