Regarding my Jan 17th post about why leadership training doesn’t provide leaders, Wally Bock comments, “Leadership is an apprentice trade.”
So true. His comment reminded me of an ancient Chinese proverb that holds the true secret of learning and growth.
As with most real wisdom, it hasn’t lost its meaning or its value over the ages.
I hear […]

In this age of “personalized customer experience,” it figures that there would be a special place for job seekers who earn more than $100K and there is— ex-HotJobs.com executive Marc Cenedella founded TheLadders.com in 2003. Although the results of their 2004-2007 executive survey highlights on life, love and money are fascinating on their own, […]

I learned about Wordless Wednesday from Sean Kelly, who writes Franchise Pick (cool blog, especially when he’s dishing the dirt on the shenanigans in the franchise world). Thanks, Sean! Be sure to check out other WW links on the new Wordless Wednesday page in the sidebar and do send me (miki.saxon@b5media.com) your favorite WW […]
It’s the list time of year again—first shopping lists and then resolution lists.
I hate resolutions mainly because I find that rather than inspiring and motivating us they turn into a club with which we beat ourselves.
Once I realized that I stopped cold turkey with the resolutions. Not even one itty-bitty, teeny-tiny one did I allow […]
Have you ever wondered what the perfect attitude for a leader is? Not just a top dog leader, but for any person who aspires to lead and, for that matter, every person who lives and breaths.
I recognize it when I see it, know when I’m doing it, and can explain it when I’m coaching, but […]
Fudge, fibb, prevaricate, lie.
“Liar, liar, pants on fire!” Kids rarely turn in the culprit since that would be snitching, yet that doesn’t stop them from glorying when the liar is caught. But what about when kids grow up?
Seems as if it doesn’t change a whole lot.

Eric Jackson is a good example. He says that
The “Sales Funnel” is one of the most tried and true tools in business today. For every prospect you put into the top of the funnel, only a small […]
It used to be that companies built beautiful buildings to flaunt their wealth and satisfy executive egos—but the world has changed and true leaders are demanding far more from their edifices than rave revues or even awards. For the last ten years BusinessWeek and Architectural Record have focused on winners chosen not only for […]
My buddy Bob over at ProjectManagement411 wrote a post to which I take partial exception. Essentially, he seemed to say that managing a group was boring in comparison to managing a project where one has no actual authority because when one has authority there’s no real challenge.
First, let me say that I’m not minimizing […]
