Since today’s post contains a bit of self-promotion I’ll keep it very short and to the point…My new book, “Leadership Matters…The CEO Survival Manual” was published this week and is available for sale in Hardcover at Amazon.com and various other online retailers and bookstores throughout the country. In today’s post I’ll give you a brief overview of the book…

I recently read a blog post on all the reasons not to hire “superstars” and I could not have disagreed more with what I read. The more I continued to read the drivel being espoused by this blogger the more I realized how prevalent his assertions and positions have become in today’s business world. I have always subscribed to the philosophy that the quality of an organization’s talent will have a direct correlation to their success…In other words the better a company’s talent the more successful the enterprise will be. In today’s blog post I will discuss the benefits of hiring Tier-One talent.

I was corresponding with a colleague earlier today who was inquiring into my experiences with crisis management, and after reviewing my e-mail to her I thought the subject was worthy of being published in today’s post. In the current always-on, real-time, and often invasive world of media coverage any company is only a slight faux pas away from crisis mode. It is not really a question of if your organization will encounter a crisis, but rather it is a matter of when and how often a crisis will occur. In today’s post I’ll share my thoughts on how to successfully navigate a crisis…

There is little doubt that measuring Return On Investment (ROI) is a solid business principle that helps guide corporate decisioning. However for purposes of this blog post, I want you to think of ROI as return on imagination, ideas and innovation. It is the return on innovation that will allow companies to maintain their competitive edge and create sustainable growth even during a rough recessionary period. Peter Drucker said, “An established company which, in an age demanding innovation, is not able to innovate, is doomed to decline and extinction.”

There are many that would say negotiation is just part of doing business, and that you cannot be successful as an executive or entrepreneur without becoming a great negotiator. So my question to you is this: Are you a great negotiator? To be considered a savvy negotiator is to be held in high esteem in the world of business, and in some circles is worn as a proud badge of honor. If you possess a reputation as a shrewd negotiator you are feared in the board room as an adversary to be reckoned with. While many a consultant, author and trainer have made personal fortunes teaching the finer points of negotiation, it is my belief that if you find yourself negotiating you have already missed the boat. In today’s post I’ll share why negotiation is inherently flawed as a business practice…

Advising CEOs and entrepreneurs for a living I have had the pleasure of working with a wide variety of truly amazing individuals over the years. However when I look back amongst those individuals who have left an indelible impression on me it is not the smartest, toughest, wealthiest or most powerful executives, but rather it has been the “nicest” executives that made the lasting impression. Let’s face it, most C-level executives are savvy, intelligent, resourceful, shrewd, calculating and successful but how many of them are truly warm, caring and friendly? Sadly not as many as I would hope to be able to report. That being said, if Robin Koval has anything to say about it (and trust me she does) there is a paradigm shift in process within the business world which is bringing ”nice” back…
