I was recently asked the following question: “What is the difference between CRM and CEM, or is there any difference between the two?&# In a previous post I addressed the practice of Customer Relationship Management (CRM) in fairly great detail. As most of you know I am a huge fan of well conceived CRM initiatives.

Fear is dead as a management tool. Joseph Grenny was up next talking about influence and leadership. Of all the topics on the agenda I was most excited to hear what Joseph had to say about influence. I have found that influence is often misunderstood, frequently abused, and rarely leveraged to its full extent.

Perhaps you were the right person for the job initially, but has the company outgrown your management ability? Priority number two is team building and talent management. Did you bestow the title upon yourself simply because you had the authority to do so, or are you the right person for the job? What does a CEO really do anyway?
