The following is a guest piece by Chris Dyer. Which comes first: a distinctive business identity or its underlying culture? That’s a trick question. The culture that drives recognition has no beginning or end point, but is instead a continuum. Every company that’s serious about branding defines its unique selling points. And every business that emphasizes healthy workplace culture lives the uniqueness that defines its identity.

Networking was the last thing on my mind, entering the sauna naked except for a small towel to sit on. I understand that networking is an essential business skill. It connects us with people to build mutually successful business relationships, gain knowledge, share resources, and expand our ability to make a positive difference. Many of us are resistant or ambivalent to networking, seeing it as a necessary evil associated with being inauthentic, pretentious, and disingenuous.

Guest post from David Mattson: If something bad were to happen to you or one of your key team members, something that took you or that person out of action for a month or more, would your business be in crisis? Would its performance suffer? Would its survival be in question? Did you hesitate before answering any of those questions? If so, your company may be suffering from “blind spots syndrome.

Hard to believe that this blog has been around for nearly 13 years – it’s been a wonderful and winding journey putting my thoughts on these pages about a subject that is near and dear to my heart. Leadership. The more human kind. I’ve covered a lot of ground (and probed the depths of my head and heart) in my 1,066 posts since December 25, 2005, and what I have gained from it is incalculable.

The following is a book excerpt from How You Learn Is How You Live.

This process is what allows you to transform your life. Deliberate learning requires that you understand your unique way of learning from experience and use it to intentionally direct and control your behavior.

By Linda Fisher Thornton The question for today is "Can we control ethics?" Leaders have tried to control ethics with compliance-based systems (based on rules and penalties) but that does not tend to inspire people to ethical action. Leaders have tried to control ethics by running a tight ship, closely managing workers, but that does not bring out the best in people and may lead to workers not caring about protecting the company's reputation. .

Guest post from Cassandra Frangos : We had a handy rule of thumb for hiring in my first job in management consulting. After the first or second round of interviews, if the candidate scored high on the prerequisites, the team would gather for a reality check and ask each other: "Would you mind being stuck in an airport for 9 hours with this person?” If the answer was, "Oh my, no way ," we’d usually move on to the next highly qualified candidate.

Most HR leadership philosophies are grounded in two completely faulty assumptions — “change is hard” and “engagement drives results.” Those beliefs have inspired expensive attempts to keep change from being disruptive to employees. 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.

I've been doing a lot of thinking lately. Many of my clients complain about the work habits of their employees and how they're light-years away from a competent and conscientious worker. It has to do with their past work histories. And I think I've solved that problem.

I have to admit it. I am, frankly, quite baffled. For the last 20 years, and all around the world, we CEOs have invested untold millions into the question: “What does it take to have an engaged workplace culture?” We’ve bought books, retained consultants, rolled out surveys, looked deep into the hearts and minds of the people who work for us. We know how crucial it is to having talent who love working for us and who will offer discretionary effort and innovation.

I often meet business leaders who are so full of themselves. When interacting with others, they try to keep the needle of focus constantly towards themselves, their business, accomplishments and stories. It is easy to get caught up in the self because after all, you are a up there and you make things happen (or so you think!).
