As we proceed to life, we normally have a pretty good understanding that we may not be able to see too far into the future, nor are we able to see too much into the present. Our horizon determines what we see... and also how seeing more...

I have been in the field of training, leadership, and organizational development for over 20 years. Through all these years, I have heard a one message (and complaint) from practitioners, consultants, authors and gurus: for cultural change to succeed, top leadership must support it. It’s amazing. This message is so consistent. And there is so much evidence to prove it!

In the last few days of 2011 and now in the beginning of 2012, I have been wondering what was the best wish that I could wish my friends. Should I wish my friends prosperity? I was not sure.

Have you felt that you are not getting the best out of every day? Here's something that can help make the each day most productive, and at the same time feel good about ourselves... A question you may want to ask yourself regularly: What am I doing with my 24 hours? In other words, every day, what do you have to show for burning through another 24 hours of your life? If the

We live in a culture where compromise seems impossible.  A meeting of the minds may consist of agreeing that the other party is wrong and the situation is hopeless.  We sure can't look to our political leaders, the ultimate deal-makers, because the chasms are too great.   How did we get to this point?  Can this trend be reversed?  Can't we all just get

I would say execution is the link between having a great business idea and obtaining business results. When organizations struggle to achieve what they set out to, then their execution is weak. More often than not it is felt that when it comes to execution, it's the role of the shop floor manager.

Success requires hard work, perseverance and passion, that is what we have heard from parents and teachers. It is however interesting to see how supremely successful people in different fields see the same hard work and dedication as pleasure.

Success is often attributed to lady luck, being at the right place at the right time. Is it possible that success can happen due to the choices one makes even when the environment around us is not conducive for success? If success is possible because of the choices people make what kind of choices are these?

Art imitates life.  That statement is so true in what I consider to be one of the best movies of the year, Moneyball, based on the true story of Oakland A's general manager Billy Beane.  You don't have to be a baseball fan to learn monumental lessons from this film.   Billy Beane (Brad Pitt) meets a nerdy Ivy League economics graduate, Peter Brand (Jonah Hill),

Every Public Speaker is not just overcoming his nerves, or coming to terms with his fears. There are some who like, or even love the limelight and the attention. The paradox is the rush we get as a speaker is akin to the rush one would get when trying something daring... like Bungee jumping or driving in a car race.

As children, we played "follow the leader" for hours on end.  The crazier the route and antics, the more we liked it.  Being the leader was the best part.   As working adults, "follow the leader" takes on a whole new meaning.  Leadership is an art and a skill.  It's hard work that is extremely rewarding and occasionally completely

The funny thing about life is that you realise the value of something only when it begins to leave you. As my hair turned from black to salt and pepper and finally salt without the pepper, I have begun to realise the importance of youth. At the same time, I have begun to truly appreciate some of the lessons I have learnt along the way.

So there's this new guy/gal, older than most entry-level employees, who shows up at your workplace one day and wants to learn the ropes.  A little unusual, you think, but you train the person to do your job and explain why what you do is important to the company.That's the premise of one of the hottest new reality shows on television.
