Leadership Integrity and the Broken Society

Posted on January 29, 2010 by Timothy R. Clark

One of the things I talk about in my new book, The Leadership Test, is the fact that many, if not most, societies in the world are endemically corrupt. Corruption has spread like cancer throughout the system. It influences, alters, or stops basic processes such as commerce, capital flows, the distribution of goods and services, the expansion [...]

Did Somebody Move Your Cheese?

Posted on January 28, 2010 by Joy Griffiths

Unless you have been living in a cave for the last year or so (which actually may turn out to be a good thing,) you will be very aware that the world economy has hit a bit of a rough patch. The doom and gloom reporting of the media reminds us daily that we are [...]

Leading Our Work Environment

Posted on January 27, 2010 by Mark McCatty

Learning Your Environment My daughter recently was trained and certified for scuba diving. This experience reminded me of when I went through the process a few years before.

Posted on January 26, 2010 by Christa Dhimo

“Dana” and Goliath: A Leadership Story

Posted on January 22, 2010 by Tom Schulte

Leadership starts with leading yourself. King David wasn’t always a king. When he was an adolescent, he was an unimportant shepherd. He was low in stature and had little influence on anyone other than with his sheep within his care. He wasn’t required to do anything grand, notable, or meaningful.

Why We’re With CoCo

Posted on January 21, 2010 by George Brymer

Who among us hasn’t been in Conan O’Brien’s present situation? An employer promises you a coveted prize—a promotion, let’s say—only to default when it comes time to honor the pledge. What’s especially infuriating is when you’ve held up your end of the bargain, patiently toiling away at some less-than-desirable job in exchange for a future [...]
