I love writing rhymes, but I take no credit for this one. Business Week’s Marc Miller, as edited by Deborah Stead did a terrific job encompassing Business2007 in this witty, slightly irreverent rhyme.
Many Happier Returns
2007, Christmastime:
The season may seem, well, sub-prime.
It’s hard to keep up calm composures
Totting up last week’s foreclosures,
Nor do sunken CDOs

What leaders DO: have ah-ha moments

I love Google Alerts, they help me find stuff I’d never find on my own making it easy for us non-surfing, lazy folks. That’s how I happened to see the post on CEO Jim Estill’s blog. You need to read it (it doesn’t take that long) for the rest of my post to make sense.

What leaders DO: communicate

The old adage “praise in public and criticize in private” should be the guiding light for bosses looking to provide a year-end wrap-up of how the company (or any organization) did along with a rallying cry for the coming year.I’d like to share a superb example of this in the form of an email sent […]

I got into a Leadership program at work. One of the main points is defining the difference between management and leadership. The jist is that management deals with […]

What leaders (shouldn’t) DO: procrastinate

Accounting $olver offers up a nice present that reminded me of one I’ve given to the occasional recalcitrant client over the years. So I thought I’d be a copycat and regift you with my version of the infamous round tuit.

What leaders DO: focus—or not

Steve Mann (who sounds like a whole lot of fun to hang with) comments on Bruce Nussbaum’s list of five innovation killers. Good list, good comments, but, in fact the list applies to far more than innovation—hypercritical as that is.
