Thanks for sharing the amazing College World Series experience with me. It truly was a memory for a lifetime. I thought you might like to read some of what others have written about it. Why? This is not the online version of the family vacation slideshow. Rather this is how good it feels to be [...]
Which one do you prioritize–people or productivity? Rather than debating which business issue to tackle first, recognize that these two important business management topics are strongly related. You can’t have productivity without great people (unless you can automate every facet of your business!). I spent the day with a Vistage group in Michigan. It was a tremendous [...]
The old adage “you get what you measure” has been proven time and again. The issue is, do you understand the implications of what you measure. Over the weekend, I attended a baseball series between Vanderbilt and Georgia, played in Athens. It was a great series between two well respected teams. It was also a [...]
In today’s environment, the most underused and biggest opportunity for improved performence is the power of the people. Which people? The people you connect with–employees, customers and influencers. You have undoubtedly heard all the statistics about how people, not companies, determine what gets heard (not what gets said) about the organization. Through Facebook, Twitter and [...]
Today’s business vocabulary is filled with words that are accompanied by a sense of urgency. When we refer to profits or sales, we want them NOW–not in 2 weeks, 2 months or 2 years.

Our markets are forever changed and our businesses and attitudes must keep up (if not anticipate/innovate) If my blog doesn’t convince you perhaps Seth’s will. Please share your thoughts about the evolving world we live in. New polling out this [...]
Do you feel overwhelmed by the number of business books you would like to read and can’t find the time for? Reynolds Consulting, LLC recommends you substitute articles and magazines for books. Most business books are launched with support from blogs, and published articles. Often you can glean just as much from them in much [...]
At the pace we move it is so easy to think in generalities, assumptions and stereotypes. Recently, I was reminded that thinking that way is our loss as we miss so much when we do. My mother-in-law has moved in with us. She finally sold her condo in real estate depressed Alabama and I went with her to [...]
We all know who the leaders in our organization are, right? They are the people in the corner office, the ones who have the political clout, the folks always assigned to the big task force.
