On Leadership

Leadership Doesn’t Just Happen … Or Does It?

Leadership research, theories, discussions and debates have raged on for centuries. Some see Leadership as an almost magical power that select people are born with. Others believe individuals and companies can develop and nurture leaders driving organizational excellence.

Everyone agrees, however, that Leadership is vital to success. See for yourself and decide what you believe.

Effective Leadership

Strength, skill, experience, and wisdom are among many attributes associated with being a good Leader. However to be effective, a Leader needs to connect with the people who are being led.

Talented producers are some of a business’ most valuable assets. Attracting, hiring and retaining the people who make a difference can be very challenging – especially when you consider that each individual may have his or her own motivators.

Leading Millennials

There’s no shortage of news stories and thought-leadership pieces on the style, values, motivators and interactions of Millennials – and the fact that they are very different than previous generations.

Understanding Motivation

You hear talk of motivation all the time. From the boardroom and conference room to the classroom and even the family room, motivation is a common topic. It’s usually a one-dimensional conversation focused on some carrot or stick approach to cultivate achievement.
