Leadership, Change & Talent

It is interesting what can be learned from children. They can be more insightful than Executives at times…..perhaps it's a different viewpoint, similar to leveraging the transferability of best practices.

I've noticed that during the "new normal", there are countless numbers of priorities, and everyone is struggling with how to effectively manage time.

The holidays are always a crazy time. It seems no different this year. If anything, people will be even busier, as they want to make up for lost time during the recession and be prepared to ensure a prosperous 2010.

Assuming a solid strategy and plan, I have no doubt that those leaders that master the use of language will not only be the most likely to succeed but also will have the full support of their people.

There is no doubt that the power of relationships is significant. Sometimes, it is depressing that the best person for the job, project, political position etc goes unnoticed while the so-so (bordering on or sometimes decidedly a poor choice) wins the day through relationships (with nothing to back it up).

As we head into the summer months, I thought a few tips might prove useful.

Enhance your executive presentations by focusing on bottom-line results, maintaining high-level content, and utilizing process visuals.
