I live in the mountains of Colorado at about eight thousand feet in elevation. When it snows in Colorado, it really snows. There is nothing like looking out the window and seeing a world blanketed in snow. When it’s really deep, everything has a smooth, shapeless quality. Unless you know what lies beneath, it all looks the same. I have always been told that each snowflake is unique.

Guest post from Cheryl Heller : Successful leaders are different today than in times past. They do not dictate change, they see and guide it.

What these engagement programs actually do is create and reinforce feelings of victim-hood and leave employees unprepared to adapt to real changes that are necessary for the health and profitability of their enterprises.
