I was talking to a friend of mine many weeks ago when I brought up a famous personality that my friend liked. Or at least he had always liked this guy until one day he was privy to something had hadn’t expected. It was an interview of this guy by someone much younger. And, it [...]

I’ll never get used to this sort of thing, and I’m happy for it. One of my posts has made another leadership list, this time on a blog called Business Pundit, in an article titled 50 Tips To Make You A Better Leader. It’s not a ranked list, but the author has categorized the list. [...]

In a comment I wrote on my previous piece, I briefly touched upon a theory that a manager I know at one of the local hospitals has regarding employees. It’s her belief that employees need to recognize that they’re hired for a job and that they need to do that job, and do it well. [...]

I was checking out a blog called The Practice of Leadership by a man named George Ambler. It was titled The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us. On the post, he had the video that I’ve posted below, a presentation by Dan Pink, who’s written many books on the changing face of the working world. [...]

Almost two weeks ago a blog post I wrote put me in the top 100 for leadership posts on blogs throughout the blogosphere. That felt pretty good, as it’s always nice to be recognized. Now I’ve made another list, a ranked list, this time placing at #58 on a Top 150 Management & Leadership Blogs [...]

One of my blogging friends named Mike CJ just wrote an interesting post titled Changes; actually, it had a lot of stutters in it, but I didn’t want to type all that out. In this post, he talked about doing a reexamination of his last 18 months in business, including his blog and other blogs, [...]

A couple of days ago, I got a notice via email that someone new was following me on Twitter. That happens often, and many times I check and find that the person following me isn’t being very social at all. In this case, the person wasn’t all that social, but did talk to a few [...]

I read a blog post today by someone recognized as a great online resource, Chris Brogan. The topic is Success Is Made Of Little Victories. He talks about how he and his wife decided one year they were going to start getting healthy. They started out slowly, and with each little victory it encouraged them [...]

For those people keeping score, on Monday I posted something saying I was going a week without news, but I had started it last Friday. That means that in a couple of hours my self imposed ban will be over. It’s been an interesting week, I must say. I haven’t watched the news nor visited [...]
