Leaders: If you Confuse, You Lose
March 27th, 2024

There’s an old saying in the sales world. “The confused mind says NO.” Clearly that has big implications when trying to sell a product or service.

After many years of working with clients of all kinds, I see one recurring theme, time and again. The biggest difference between managers who are pretenders versus leaders who are contenders is a small six-inch piece of real estate; the distance between your ears. Yes, I am talking about the space inside your head. The... Continue Reading

Author’s NOTE: I wrote the first version of this article in 2018 – a full 2 years BEFORE the whole world locked down and faced the COVID-19 pandemic. Business has not been the same since. At a recent luncheon, I was involved in a discussion that I find becoming more common. The topic was this: Change Management is old news. The argument says the way we once understood change management has been overcome by several new and more complex drivers in business. Here are some of the reasons old-style change management doesn’t work anymore. First, we are now into Phase Three of technology advancements.... Continue Reading
