January 4, 2013 by admin Leave a Comment

Have you ever attended a training session and heard one of the participants ask, “Where’s my boss?” As other people in the room shrug, the person laughs and says, “My boss needs to attend this workshop more than anyone in our company.

July 23, 2012 by admin Leave a Comment

If your company or organization hasn’t jumped on the social media bandwagon yet, it’s probably missing opportunities to connect with customers in new ways.

When a Company or Organization Lacks Empathy

July 20, 2012 by admin Leave a Comment

Some business executives dismiss the need for empathy, favoring the more concrete and defensible virtues of rational analysis. They have a point. So did Blockbuster executives when faced with Netflix’s debut. Blockbuster witnessed Netflix’s dramatic growth in the very early 2000s and chose to do nothing. Company leaders saw the world from a solitary vantage […]

Real People in the Information Age

July 16, 2012 by admin Leave a Comment

I’ve been thinking about our need to demonstrate more empathy, especially in large organizations and workplaces. I see this in the work I do coaching and consulting .

Creating a Framework for Success as a Sustainable Leader in a Socially Connected Environment
Being a sustainable leader isn’t just a ‘touchy-feely’ term. It’s about creating innovation and collaboration within your environment. It’s about accomplishing goals that matter. And yes, it’s even about improving the bottom line of your business.

Because nothing is sustainable if it doesn’t “increase profitability and your competitive advantage.”
