    Leading Change - Telling it Straight
    "We're not going to that stupid meeting! They'll just feed us more BS." That was the overwhelming sentiment at a recent workshop I conducted for a worldwide company doing around $8 billion is sales. It was one colossal problem they had on their hands.You see about a year ago now the folks from the parent company came in and surprised even the VPGM of this division with the news they were moving the operation to Europe. What you have to know is that this divis
    "Is there a point here or are we just being beat by a blunt object?" One of my direct reports spewed that out like a bad dinner coming up after a night of drinking. It wasn’t the most politically correct thing to say to the McKinseyite’s leading the meeting but it was effective. It was about like tossing a hand grenade on the table.

    Teaching Employees To Lie
    As always, the grand creator puts things in my path to point in which direction my column should take each month. It is laid before me in such a manner that I become passionate about writing the experience in detail. Because many publications allow only 700 words, I have to chop my column to fit the criteria, yet in my books I let it flow naturally.I recently made a trip to a well-known drug store to purchase a few items and browse through their new store.

    Is Your Key Control a Cornerstone or Liability

If that instrument is provided by an e

    Compaq was into online scheduling. When I joined the company I was immediately booked solid in meetings for three weeks. I asked Kelly, my Admin Assistant, what was with all the meetings? She said calmly, "Welcome to Compaq, where we're 'Meetings R' Us'. She wasn’t kidding. After three weeks of really meaningless meetings I pulled myself from the online meeting program.
