Note – Was in Boston this week training a great group of managers in Coaching Skills from our Boss Leadership Series, and this topic came up. So I tracked down this past post and am republishing for those 21 managers. Enjoy team and good luck back at your location! You wish your team would accept greater responsibility. Why don’t they …
People are wired to work and make things happen. You may or may not like your job, but you are there to achieve things for your company. That is why you should hire more people who actually love their work. There are three types of workers. The “job” worker. This is the person who hates Mondays, lives for the weekends, …
Capitalist Note – had someone lecture me about the need to call people “associates” last week. I like that tag fine, but I told them the story outlined below.

TheLaw.TV had an article recently of the “8 Stupid Moves that Get You Fired.” Two things about this came to mind: 1. What the hell is TheLaw.TV (is it a TV show on the Internet? If so, why the article? Why .TV? NBS, ABC, CBS, FOX, etc. don’t end in .TV) and 2. I’m pretty sure there are more than …

Another year of entertainment has come and gone. The awards season is officially over with the completion of the 87th Annual Academy Awards. If you are anything like me—as you were watching all the beautiful women in gorgeous dresses and the handsome men with their chiseled jaws and trendy facial hair walk down the red carpet with their doting spouses, …
It seems appropriate, given the disturbing “armed clown” craze, that my Halloween post be dedicated to others of the same ilk. If you haven’t referenced this particular storyline, here’s a quick summation: random guys with spare time & permission from their mother adorn creepy clown masks, grab a weapon of choice, and just lurk around the city.
