Re: You can't Manage Tranformation it must be Enthusiastically Led
Good post. I agree that enthusiasm is critical in the area of leadership. I also agree that good management is critical in driving progress...which can ultimately result in transformation. However, we differ in the idea that someone is either an enthusiastic leader or a good manager. The most effective and enduring leaders I have worked with have also had very strong management skills. They were not necessarily the ones in the trenches on a daily basis...but they possessed an understanding...

Re: Managing By The Data, It’s What Leaders Do
Totally agree. Among the benefits of KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) are the facts that they boost the employee motivation and create an educative atmosphere.

COVID19 "Remote Working" Day Thirty-Five of Sales
During the month of April we posted 66 blog and videos. Special thanx to Ray and Larry for their contributions. In my twenty years of hosting this site I've never seen this much inaction from the copier manufacturers. Just today I heard from an unnamed source (frak I always wanted to write that), that XBS former Global has axed up to 50% of their Market Place Presidents. A few days ago there was a another thread about lay-offs from Kyocera. Really? Does it really need to be this way? When...

Enterprise Mobility Security Remains Challenging
The healthcare sector has had to overcome a wealth of challenges when it comes to IT security, service management and delivery in the past few years, with so many new tools and solutions quickly gaining a vital designation among leaders. From telemedicine and mobility to big data and electronic health record system management, the average medical firm is using technologies that were not even available only a couple of decades ago.

You can't Manage Tranformation it must be Enthusiastically Led
Over the last few months, I have been deciding on the next stop of my transitioning career. When you’re in your fifties and haven’t filled out an application in many, many years, it’s not a search for a job position. It’s a search for a place where you can create positive business outcomes based on your experiences. When you’re in your fifties, it’s not your college transcripts that defines you. The transcripts of my past are a collection of experiences that most people do not have (and I’m...

Leaders and Dogs Chasing Squirrels
I was going through the photos on my iPhone the other day. First, I should say I am glad I set up albums – apparently I take a lot of pictures. As I was looking through the millions of photos of Buddy, my Boston terrier, who recently passed, (yes, I guess my wife and I are those pet people who never had children, so our pets were spoiled absolutely rotten) the pictures reminded me of the many times Buddy would flip his head around, his ears would stand up along with all the hair on his back,...

Managing By The Data, It’s What Leaders Do
In business, everyone is accountable to someone or something. Today our teams want the ability to monitor their goals, and they want their leadership to care enough to help them establish and manage those goals. With all the technology and the abilities, most have in using it. Why are some managing their teams like it’s 1980? Today’s worker wants to succeed just as yesterday’s worker. With today’s management technologies dysfunctional trends, and ways to improve are easily defined. Many...

Temporary Growth
Growth through acquisition will always underestimate the need for innovation, and participants will determine that growth by acquiring more of the past is time based, and never leads to the future. Over the last decade, most that pay attention to disruptions and the fallouts they cause will recognize a commonality. That commonality is: organizations of dying industries or deliverables believe acquisitions, over innovation, will save them. The fact is, acquisitions made during a market shift...

Happy Birthday America
"I believe the founding fathers surely knew that the power of the vote was the greatest gift to a land once led by a king. The founding Fathers knew that only the people should have the power to choose their leaders. This power is what turns a king's land into a people's country." RJS America's founding fathers, the writers of its constitution, said unequivocally. "All men are created equal." As they said and wrote this, all men and women were not considered equal. One can imagine this was,...
