  • Great leaders are the first to admit they don't know all the answers. You may have heard it said that we don't know what we don't know. Also, we have forgotten a lot of what we used to know. Worse, however, is the fact that we know a lot that just isn't so. Beware those…

  • Okay, so I got the William Wallace quote reversed. It was late at night! You know what I meant to say!

  • There is one very prominent feature in our modern world, and no, I'm not talking about the preponderance of hideous tattoos. Rather, I refer to the common occurrence of addictions. It seems there are addictions to most anything and everything, nowadays. There are the age old famous ones: alcohol and drugs. And some almost-as-old ones:…

  • Leadership is an individual sport, played out in the stadium of team dynamics. One cannot lead alone, as in, without followers, but neither can one lead by going along with the crowd. It is a critical distinction. For a glowing example, consider national politics (any country masquerading with elections will do). One party supposedly stands…

  • Perhaps now as much as ever, the world is in dire need of leadership.  I don't speak of the candy-coated, teleprompter variety, or the plastic-faced tell-you-what-you-want-to-hear politician. I am also not referring to the high-born, or the well-connected, or the well-to-do. I don't refer to the do-gooders, or the world-controllers, neither the people arrogant enough…

I have yet to…

  •   Orrin Woodward and I are attending World Business Forum 2009 at Radio City Music Hall, along with people interested in leadership from 54 countries.  For a look at the lineup of speakers, click on the following link:   http://us.hsmglobal.com/contenidos/uswbfagenda.html#   Over the next two days I will be posting nuggets from this event.  …

  • Thomas Edison is purported to have said, "I never did a day's work in my life. It was all fun." What a privilege for someone to be able to say that. There are two types of work: drudgery and calling. Drudgery: something one does because he or she "has" to. Calling: something one does because…

  • In my recent travels I have had the pleasure of associating with many, many winners who are on the path to achievement and excellence. I just wanted to give a hearty salute to all of you out there who are working at becoming the best you can be, giving your all to some great endeavor,…

  • Serving others is one of the primary reasons we are here. Very little that is worthwhile can be accomplished without the cooperation of others. While individuals can accomplish some things, teams can accomplish nearly anything! You have to be different to make a difference. Never underestimate the power of fun in building relationships. Leaders confront…
