There’s a common thread that runs through leadership teachings starting at least 2500 years ago with Lao Tzu, who said,
The superior leader gets things done with very little motion. He imparts instruction not through many words but through a few deeds. He keeps informed about everything but interferes […]
In a post about the repercussions of sexual peccadilloes I said, “I’m also wondering how many other patrons of this current sting will be outed. If he’s [Eliot Spitzer] the only name made public then, to me, something else stinks a lot worse than his hiring a prostitute.”
Although I didn’t see the WSJ opinion piece […]
I came across some basic leadership advice (usually the best kind) in an Economic Times article called Leadership through delegation.

I found it interesting because as business takes off, […]
I’ve written several posts focusing on healthcare, starting with the newest way to screw the un/under insured (which I sincerely hope you’ll forward to your federal and state politicians), a series focusing on why US healthcare is an oxymoron and one on doctors’ conflicts-of-interest, so it’s nice to be able to offer up the story […]

There’s a brain function that most of us have that I call AMS. AMS stands for
Assumption: We think about something we’re going to do or say and decide what the outcome will be.
Manipulation: Then we do or say it in […]
Yesterday, while Scott Allen and I were talking, he said, “”Bad leaders don’t always produce bad results” — ain’t that the truth! Actually, I’ve worked for a lot of “98% great” leaders really fantastic in a lot of areas, but had one blind spot — one Achilles heel — that got them and in […]
A couple of years ago KG Charles-Harris, a talented leader/CEO I work with, sent me an article from HBS Working Knowledge, a free online publication from Harvard Business School geared to the interests of business leaders and I strongly recommend subscribing to it.My favorite contributor is James Heskett, the Baker Foundation Professor, who fosters superb […]
