FEATURED POST OF THE MONTH
To All Business Owners & Leaders: An Official Apology
First, I want to start off by saying,"I apologize." That's right..I apologize on behalf of all human performance industries as a whole, but more specifically on behalf of the collective Human Resources industry.
Usually apologizes come when there are wrongs committed -- knowingly or when made aware of. I can honestly say, you as a business leader have been wronged. We as an HR community have been of disservice to you.

Regrettably, it's not enough. It's not enough for what you need to manage and grow your businesses with strategic, fiscal responsibility. Continue reading...

The Top 5 Leadership Conditions That Sabotage Company Growth
I recently had a conversation with the president of an organization regarding a key leader that has gone rogue. Yep, in her mischief, this leader has created mistrust, issued threats, bullied colleagues and generated a palpable fear of retaliation rippling throughout the organization.

Your Leadership Choice: Fixing Symptoms or Championing a Vision
It's been nothing short of overwhelming immersing myself in the dilemma and revelations of sexual harassment revealations in the media. It's a different way to spend my time as I'm usually helping clients in a positive way as they work to implement meaningful solutions. Yet, this is a social watershed moment that in my field and on a personal level I cannot ignore.
