Thank You!

The first post of 2009…



To those of you who Look, See and Tell The Truth...Thank You.

* building and supporting healthy, sustainable communities and organizations

* removing barriers to diversity

* challenging assumptions

* health, wellness, spirituality, awareness

Being a Servant-Leader in recruiting

Robert Greenleaf, former Director of Management Research at AT&T, noted that:



The servant-leader is servant first...It begins with the natural feeling that one wants to serve, to serve first. Then conscious choice brings one to aspire to lead. That person is sharply different from one who is leader first, perhaps of the need to assuage an unusual power drive or to acquire material possessions.



In recruiting, and I've noticed that this occurs both on the… Continue

Tomorrow's leaders today a preview of the future

It's really hard not to write about this... so I won't even try. Warning for those about to read.. bias Dad alert



Today I had the day off work, it's that time of year, children's Christmas concerts, school break ups and the like. I got to do something very rare I think for a career dad.. I got to spend a whole day observing and helping out in my son's 2 Kindergarten sessions (yes we have him booked in 2 different schools for enough contact hours to keep him stimulated). What a… Continue

Are you an expert or a beginner?

From Our Time To Act:



I may be a bit odd. It is actually quite likely. But one thing that has always seemed strange to me is our level of deference to “experts.” I understand that experts become known as such for a reason and I appreciate the value of advanced educations, years of experience and unique insight. While certainly valuable, I believe that the significance of expertise is greatly over-rated. Experts still make… Continue

Focus, Music, Sport--Leadership

Focus, Music, Sport--Leadership





I recently returned from the Florida Kennedy conference and as part of my trip I got to visit my father in Tampa. He is a 40 year exec with technology company that competes with IBM among others. I got to spend time with him on his Birthday along with my boss from Germany. We started talking about great leaders and executives and what makes them truly great. My father got on this kick about focus. He… Continue

At the heart of the matter...

At the heart of the matter…where the real struggle lies.



Had an interesting conversation with a client this week that has stayed with me now for a few days. We began working with her team a couple of months ago around issues of diversity, inclusion, and culture change and have done some really good foundational work. The workshops and dialogues that I have facilitated have been well received and generated a buzz of ideas, questions and energy. I have even received several… Continue

How Talented Women Thrive

McKinsey Quarterly

Centered Leadership: How Talented Women Thrive

Joanna Barsh, Susie Cranston and Rebecca A. Craske,



A new approach to leadership can help women become more self-confident and effective business leaders.



Women start careers in business and other professions with the same level of intelligence, education and commitment as men. Yet comparatively few reach the top echelons.



This gap matters not only because the familiar glass ceiling is… Continue

What is Professionalism?

Some say it’s the way you carry yourself throughout the day; a snap in your walk, firm handshake, or an expensive tie. Others believe professionalism is a job title – the higher up the corporate ladder you are the more professional you are.



What is professional and how often do you cross paths with a true professional in life?



Early Memories of Professionalism

When the span of my life could be measured by counting all fingers on both hands (I have… Continue

Why Mentoring should be higher on your Agenda

Every successful professional can recall the exact moment when the "seed" to succeed was planted by their mentor.



In most cases it was that moment you and someone kind enough to help your career forged a bond in mentorship. That one person you fondly remember as your first (and maybe only) mentor was the catalyst that woke you up to the potential that lay within your mind and soul. Your mentor was the person who showed you what you could become with effort and attentive skills to… Continue

21st Century Leader; Values based Leadership

In our lifetimes, many of us have had the opportunity to work with leaders who displayed great leadership values every day. These true leaders were interested in our personal growth, showed compassion to every team member and cared for the success of the entire organization. I am sure a few of us have had the unfortunate times of working with managers who we want to stay away from for ever. How do we identify the creme de la creme among the leaders that we want to work for? What do we look for… Continue

Motivate Your Sales Team to Crush the Tomato

Motivation is one of the biggest keys to developing successful teams. Every day strong skilled teams are beaten by lesser skilled ones loaded with heart and desire. But who creates the motivation for that to happen?





One of my favorite hobbies is playing baseball with my kids. I'm very involved with their Little League teams and volunteer to help teach baseball skills to the kids. My 7-year old son, Steven, is playing his first year of coach-pitch baseball. Prior to that,… Continue

Human Capital Strategies- Lead Development

From time to time I have had the opportunity to teach my client the power of ‘fishing’ vs. the one time benefit of handing them ‘fish.’ The power and extensibility of creating a repeatable process has many benefits which include having ownership of a passive pool of candidates, creating a branding strategy to build credibility in high potential candidate eyes and the maximum benefit of identifying true ‘A’ players. Contrasted with hiring one talented employee per requisition, and the benefits… Continue

To Manage or Not to Manage....That is the Question?

My friend, colleague and blogger (she is also a Web 2.0 Nerd!) Nikki Gordon brings up a great point in her blog entry yesterday. She talks about a friend of hers who is talented at what he does. Talks about his strengths and the things he loves about his job. The interesting part of the conversation is he never talks about his managerial/leadership skills. He… Continue

Trapped into Leadership

I have a friend that has worked for the same (stuffy, old school) firm since graduating college over 10 years ago. He worked in the same department for years and at one point managed a few people and that was OK...
