Elizabeth Haley — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 20:33:45 -0400

Many companies have moved to an at-home work model, most of them in the call center or customer service departments. The benefits are huge - positive ROI, more engaged employees, lower costs for brick'and'mortar, increase in customer satisfaction... What are your thoughts on this trend?

Leading the Way Out of this Economic -- and Ethical -- Mess

Brian McDermott — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 11:25:47 -0400

I'm looking for any sign I can find that we're in recovery -- not
only that the economy is turning around, but that the mindset that led
us into this mess is shifting.

I found a good one.

How to Feel Up in a Down Economy

Kare Anderson — Fri, 27 Feb 2009 19:50:12 -0500

Only the loony disregard this crashing economy. Yet the prudent recognize it’s vital now to practice resilience, even virtue. It helps to be near friends who feel the same. (Who lifts your spirits?) So it also helps to know that we’re born with a set point for happiness.

How to Cut Costs Strategically...

Brian McDermott — Wed, 04 Feb 2009 23:29:08 -0500

"What are you doing to contain or cut costs to get through 2009?"

I was a blind-copy recipient of this question in an email from a colleague the other day. It came with the promise that answers would be shared anonymously among those of us willing to throw our ideas into the conversation.

I'm tossing out a couple of thoughts. They're based on the experience I've had the last decade working with leaders to create and implement strategies for change, improvement and innovation -- which often has been shaped by the need to hang on for dear life.

Why Leadership Does not Require Charisma

Mitch McCrimmon — Sat, 22 Nov 2008 09:39:33 -0500

You may need charisma to get elected to high office, but there is such a thing as small scale local leadership. For example, a technical expert could promote a new product idea to her colleagues by demonstrating how it works or by making a hard-hitting factual case for it. Our concept of leadership is totally distorted by our narrow focus on business and political leadership - what it means to get appointed to high office. Style is only a situational matter.

The Power of Choice and Control

Rochelle Mucha — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 13:47:33 -0500

Decades ago, I learned a valuable lesson from the ‘special’ young children I worked with. These were kids from disenfranchised neighborhoods, who by seven years old were ‘labeled’, deemed difficult if not impossible, and in many cases discarded. The lesson I learned was the power of ‘Choice and Control’. Determined to make a difference, and reach these young folks, I improvised all the time. I was willing to try anything.

Observe, Discover, Intent, Produce

Rochelle Mucha — Mon, 27 Oct 2008 10:56:26 -0400

These four words, “observe, discover, intent, produce”, capture the essence of leading educators and business leaders who are lauded for their creative leadership. Peter Senge defined this process as characteristics for his U Model (presencing, sensing and realizing). Important to note is the critical attitude, skill and behavior is being present, for without that, you ‘seeing’ is always compromised by habitual ways of being and thinking.

The Evolving Social Network

Thomas Psillas — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 22:42:19 -0400

Social Networking is constantly evolving, since its inception.

Many new ideas are evolving and many old ideas are being recycled. But, one thing is for sure. The Internet is littered with social networking sites. Why? Because the early adopters and many niche sites are making tons of money.

So, where is the trend headed and how can I capitlize on it?

Redefining leadership

Luis G. Jaramillo — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 16:08:12 -0400

It is time to define with more objectivity the leadership concept, something that today is quite diffuse. Can we call Leaders to those people or organizations that finally will leave indicated as responsible for the catastrophe that today shakes the world?.
