Casual Articles - The Seven C's: Partnership Danger Signs - Conflict Becoming the Norm - Part 2
A tremendous amount has been written about Executive Compensation, and lately, most of this information has been extremely unflattering. Much of the criticism has resulted from the gross excesses, misinterpretations of regulations, and the rash of criminal cases brought against the top management of a number of large firms, such as WorldCom, Tyco, Enron, and a host of others. Virtually every day another egregious example of corporate greed

Traditional brochures typically tell the story of your company, i.e. they give evidence that you or your company have the wherewithal in personnel, capital, clout and expertise to perform the services you say you can perform or deliver the product you're selling. They are usually 3 or 4 panel affairs, printed on glossy paper, and featuring nice graphics or photographs. Think of company brochures as a resume for your business...Thus they are p
Conflict Becoming the Norm – Part 2
In a previous article, I wrote about how unresolved conflict can create havoc in your business and can often end in a failed partnership. Today, I share with you a story about a pair of clients I recently worked with.
Sue and Vicki were partners in a service organization that thrived on new membership and putting on events. Sue and Vicki had been coaching with me for over a year and had learned well how to keep things running smoothly running between them. Now they were stuck on an issue that they weren't able to resolve on their own. They knew enough not to escalate it before their next coaching session.

Passion in the workplace, is that even possible? Yes, and I’m not referring to an affair with a coworker or sleeping your way to the top. I’m talking about discovering what you want to do on the job that will make you want to be at work.I discovered my niche almost by accident. I say almost because at some level I believe there are no accidents and everything happens for a reason. My life went through a series of what seemed like catac

I started playing chess when I was in 11th grade in high school. I immediately became fascinated with the game (the art) after watching my younger brothers banging away at the pieces on the board. I asked them to teach me this ancient game and within weeks I must’ve read a good 10 books on chess.I really fell in love. I would devote hours a day of practice and playing with peers and online chess games. Those that knew me knew that I al

In many parts of the country, winter brings with it wet and icy conditions. This is dangerous not only for driving, but also for walking! Thousands of injuries occur from people slipping and falling because of ice and snow. It's estimated 12,000 Americans die each year from a fall. A worker injured from a fall on ice or snow can be off work for a long time, increasing your insurance costs and workers compensation expenses.How do yo

How many times have you heard a business owner or manager say that they spend their workday “always sweating at putting out fires?” I hear it all the time.Think of a raging forest fire. There are sweaty fire fighters working hard, just yards in front of the flames. There is one person in a helicopter 10,000 feet above the flames. Those on the ground and the one in the helicopter are all looking at the same fire but they have totall
Vicki had decided that one of Sue's responsibilities had more appeal and status than some of her own. Sue enjoyed the task and was loathe to relinquish it. In our session when Vicki pressed, and because they had developed deep caring for each other, Sue was ready to say a reluctant yes.
Before allowing that to be the unsatisfying resolution, I asked Sue to explain what the task meant to her. She said that everything she did prior to that task was build up towards it and that completing the task was closure to a job well done.
Vicki had never looked at it that way. To her it appeared as an isolated task. It was a revelation and she had a different understanding, backing off of her request.
Sue looked relieved.
