link] mikemyatt Hi Brian: I definitely take a look at your blog. Kevin and I have been in touch and I will definitely stay linked in with him. Great stuff! That said, you should also reach out to Kevin Eikenberry as he is currently taking nominations for next years contest. Thanks for stopping by Brian.
If your skill sets are best suited for business development, product development, branding, finance or other areas you may want to consider playing to your strengths by taking a senior position in the area of your subject matter expertise and hiring the best chief executive you can find to lead the company. Thanks for sharing.
Regardless of where you are in your life and your career, I can promise you one thing; you will consistently be faced with challenges and obstacles along the way. After all, our definition of what constitutes a "obstacle" is purely a function of what we have individually 'chosen' to believe and accept as true.
The best definition I’ve found for gossip is: “Gossip is talking about a situation with somebody who is neither a part of the solution or a part of the problem.” At its core, gossip is the highest form of disloyalty, and it is far from innocent or idle.
This is the definition of presence, and it is only when we operate in the present that real creativity, growth and innovation occur. Is your rubber-band stretched so tight that it’s about to snap?
Let me be blunt – you won’t earn anyone’s respect, at least not the respect of anyone who matters if your concern for career success overshadows your concern for the well-being of your family. Think About Your Legacy: Create a legacy that transcends your career. What I can tell you is that I’ve always made my family a priority.
It has definitely caused its fair share of angst, frustration, and vigorous debate among executives and professional advisors simply for the reason that it is one of the few metrics that touches virtually every aspect of a business. At this stage of my career I tend to look at the nature of the engagement more than I do my rate schedule.
The reason this is such a great question is that I’ve witnessed far too many executives confuse vision and mission in terms of both definition and application. My own definition of vision is: Vision is knowing who you are (purpose), where you're going (picture of the future) and what will guide your journey (values).
You are definitely not alone…Thanks for sharing Ron. To place a bully in a position of leadership is to consent to the abuse of those over whom the bully will control through intimidation. As you so clearly pointed out, bullies are self-serving not selfless. royatkinson Thanks for including that last piece of advice, Mike.
" Thanks for sharing Sami… Dan Leaders take others to a destination (by definition). I tend to agree with David who noted above the somewhat ridiculous nature of the semantical argument by stating: "who cares as long as they are the right leader?"
Stephanie Skryzowski of 100 Degrees Consulting provided How to Create a Monthly Finance Routine. Stephanie shares: “ In this post of the 100 Degrees of Entrepreneurship Podcast I’m sharing the monthly finance routine you can use to grow your business and your bottom line. Julie Winkle Giulioni shared Career Success 2.0:
If you’re aware about a specific career path , identify what your ideal setup looks like. Starting your “own thing&# is definitely a risk — you risk your health, sanity, family, and relationships if you start an entrepreneurial endeavor where you leave your “real job.&# Identify your risk profile.
By definition game changers happen, they exist, they have life. By definition, a game changer causes change. Would you agree that a game changer by definition is not incremental? The longer we consider it the more it fits that definition you just outlined. If you forget the people, you cannot have a game changer.

link] Dan Collins Buzzwords are definitely not trite. I have actually witnessed on many occasions extremely eloquent and very appropriate uses of quite common catch phrases. I think it's actually a bit of an art form…Thanks for sharing Dan.
My hope in authoring this post is to have you adjust your thinking when it comes to the definition of success. Taking from my own experience, I've been lucky to be successful (measured by quick progression up the career ladder, material comforts etc) and yet I'm still working on being professionally significant.
How many times during the course of your career have you witnessed executives and entrepreneurs who desperately need help, but either don’t recognize it, or worse yet, make it virtually impossible for someone to help them? link] haig10 Thanks Mike for this subject and a lot of the other blogs.

John Maxwell : Definitely in the home. That insight changed my perspective on leadership and set the course for my career as a leader and teacher of leadership. Great communicators and leaders also happen to be greatly skilled at simplifying the complex, and John definitely knows how to get to the root of an issue!
Facing reality, and being able to make what are often times very painful organizational/structural decisions are the hallmarks of great CEOs. This isn’t rocket science, rather it’s just plain-old, good leadership.
It definitely didn’t in my case. What lacked was a clear focus on leadership within a theological context. I think we mistakenly believed that studying Jesus some how translated into competency in other areas. However, since my formal education, I have come to know enough about leadership to actually see Jesus as a masterful leader.
Just having a definition for what constitutes acceptable behavior is a positive step in containing the crazies. Rest assured that if their behavior is bothering you, then it’s highly probable that their behavior is adversely impacting others to an even greater degree.
Social and societal stigmas are definitely in play when it comes to love and leadership. The natural inclination of most is to react compassionately when and/or where needed – that is until they stop to think about the ramifications of doing so. It’s as if it has been socialized out of them over time.
I wonder what you think about this idea… [link] mikemyatt Hi Deb: Sounds like a cop-out to me…However to be fair, I clearly don't have enough information on the situation at your company to render a definitive opinion. In summary, a bonus structure properly conceived and implemented offers many more benefits than downside.

I was recently stumped when faced with addressing a friends’ son who is unfortunately having to learn the word (or the anti-definition of the word) through observing the actions of his own father. By Webster’s definition it means “the steadfast adherence to a strict moral or ethical code; incorruptibility.&#
Our unit was experiencing its first inspection by a Sargeant Major whose reputation definitely preceded him…It took him all of about 3 seconds ask “who the * is in charge around here?&#
Albert Einstein said it best when he noted “the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result each time.&# Bottom line…don’t be the CEO who causes your management team to continually say “the boss won’t go for that one.&#
It has been tempting and it’s flattering to be considered by other firms, but I have decided that what’s best for me is to pursue my career as an independent consultant. I always enjoy conversations with really insightful people, and Marshall definitely qualifies in that regard.
It's been a while since I've looked at it, but I'll definitely stop by again soon. I couldn't agree more…I'm a big fan of Bob's work and he should have definitely made the list. It's always fun to find a new blog and I'll definitely check it out over the weekend. Thanks Daniel.

Beginning in 1908, at the urging of industrialist Andrew Carnegie, Hill began an intensive study of the traits that produce personal greatness in any field, from finance and science to art and politics.
