Leadership

Great leaders are deep thinkers who are smart enough to not only see new possibilities but to conceptualize them as well.   #leadership   #leaders

Corporate Culture

Complaining is not the same as contributing.   #culture    #corporateculture

Strategy

The thinking styles that develop strategies are much different than the thinking styles that implement strategies.  Big picture thinking vs detailed process thinking.  Bridging these two thinking styles is important to a successful strategy.   #strategy  #strategyexecution 

Change

We live in a world of accelerating change, where the future is less and less an extrapolation of the past.   #change   #changemanagement 

Strategy

So often, good performance is attributed to superior management, and bad performance is blamed on market conditions.   #strategy

If you don't train, you can't expect people to get to the next level.  That's why most companies have to continually waste time addressing the same issues and problems over and over again.  And that's costly, on many levels.   #training   #traininganddevelopment 

Training Week

Sam is told to watch Amy for 2-days. and then he will be ready to do things himself.  There is no formal training program.  Just watch and learn.  If Amy has a bad day, a bad attitude, or bad habits, Sam might think these are acceptable.  This is the worst kind of training you could possibly have.   #training   #traininganddevelopment 

Training Week

When your employees confront any situation, they're in one of two categories.  Either you've addressed the situation and trained them, and they have the information and skills they need to deal with it, or you haven't addressed it or trained them, and they're going to be guessing.  What category would you rather your employees be in?  If you don't train, you force everyone to be creative, dramatically reducing you chance for success.     #training   #traininganddevelopment   #skilldevelopment
