In small organisations, (10 -50 employees) , one approach I've found that is successful is creating a simple 5 item code of conduct, which all staff contribute to, refine and then commit to. The discussions that arise before the final version of the…

Do you ever wonder how past leaders could have missed what seems so obvious in hindsight? Sadly, most leaders live in an environment that makes them vulnerable to managerial failure. The problem lies in a little-recognized reality of leadership: iso…

I won't be wishing you "Season's Greetings" or "Happy Holidays" this December. These secular, generic salutations are popular in corporate America because they are not specific to any one religion or belief system. The business world, like America's…
