I have a leadership development presentation I provide for small businesses. After wrapping up, one business owner asked how to accomplish the same for $10/hr employees. “The approach is the same”, I said. Granted, there are transitory businesses that will always have a high rate of turnover. That doesn’t mean all employees shouldn’t enjoy their […]

As business owners and executives, we all approach problems with a degree of confidence and pride. Our mantra is “I’ve got this”. But what happens when you don’t “got this”? You’ve heard me mention before how 9 times out of 10, the problem they hired me for ain’t THE problem. That’s usually because we’re influenced […]

When I engage with executives, I want to quickly evaluate their frame of reference. Do they respond from a transactional or strategic perspective? Here’s a great example you can try: “How’re we doing?” you ask. It’s a very simple question but the response tells you everything you need to know. Let’s use the head of […]

I couldn’t be more proud of Sonya and Kevin Brazeal, Founders of Amazing Window Cleaners, and Chris Schoen, CEO of Rapid Wristbands. They are both members of my Silver Fox Advisors‘ CEO Roundtable and 2022 Pinnacle Award Winners, the highest award presented to members of The Better Business Bureau of Greater Houston and South Texas.

Too many variables.” Sorry – it can’t be done isn’t in my vocabulary. – We identified easy to determine revenue and expenses by product. – […]

It’s easy for a company to lose its way. Before long, layers of management and resources are justified for a purpose that’s not aligned with the core Values and Vision of the company. If it seems like you’re going in all different directions, take a step back and evaluate every activity. If it’s not in […]

I’ve had the pleasure of having great mentors in my business career. I’d seek them out whenever possible. One of the best was not a charismatic guy at all but a quiet, intellectual, operations, and financially focused executive. He’d take time with me to hear me out and provide sound advice. He never judged me […]

Most workers don’t aspire to leadership roles. That’s the key finding of The 2022 Everywhere Workplace Report by Invanti. In fact, well over the majority at 71% of employees are saying no to a promotion preferring working from anywhere instead. This is interesting data for organizations and leaders everywhere. First, it might settle the nerves […]

That’s a pretty harsh statement, I know. But hear me out… Chris can’t seem to get along with Susan. Kevin always comes in late. Derrick, well, he’s just a poor performer. And, Donna, seems to make everything about race, harassment, or favoritism. Face it, you’ve got a dismal group of employees. They’re bad and many […]
