The Web Turns 30 and You Didn’t Buy It Anything

On April 30, 1993 something happened that changed your life forever. The World Wide Web burst into existence. While the Internet technically existed, it wasn’t available to the average human being until all the rules we take for granted took place. It changed the way we work forever. Since that time coincides almost precisely with

Hey Leader – You’re Talking Too Much!

I’ve been working with, observing, and coaching leaders for many years. I‘ve thought about it, and if I could only dispense one piece of advice to every leader I encountered from now on, based on my experience and observation, it might be this: You’re talking too much.

Are You Asking the Right Questions? – Remarkable TV

I want to talk to you about something that’s near and dear to my heart: the importance of asking the right questions.

There are other transitions new leaders face, and some realities they aren’t

Do You Care What Other People Think? – Remarkable TV

Today, I want to talk about a topic that affects all of us at some point: FOPO, or Fear of Other People’s Opinions. Do you care what other people think? Of course you do. We all care about the opinions of those closest to us and whose opinions we value the most. But the question is,

Hire Attitude, Train Skills

In any job market, interviewing to fill a job can be hard. We want the right person, but the urgency to get the job filled sometimes gets in the way. Our sense of urgency tends to push us to find a person who seems to have the right skills and hope the fit works out.

Work the Problem, Don’t Let the Problem Work You

While I have both heard and said the basic idea behind the title of this post in the past, I cannot take credit for the exact phrasing. It came to me in an email from a customer. The phrase is so good that it basically conveys the full idea of this post in a single

Creating Excellence Through Improved Performance

Excellence is one of those words that describes a goal to which many would strive. Yet the idea of excellence is both aspirational and vague or nebulous. If creating excellence is your goal for yourself, your team, or your organization (and I am sure on some level it is), how do you do it? Here
