New Years Resolution Time

CEO Blog

I have had a busy couple of weeks. Lots of travel. Lots of family time in Canada. All good. One habit that serves me well is the gratefulness habit. And I have a lot to be thankful for.

CO2

In his book, Why Smart Executives Fail , Sydney Finkelstein identified Seven Habits of Spectacularly Unsuccessful Leaders. It may not surprise you to learn that ego is at the root of many of these poor habits.

Ron Edmondson

Recently I was in a store and heard a little boy yell, “Mom…or Dad” across the store. I was reminded how special those words are every time I hear them. Then I started to reflect.

QAspire

Business ecosystem is rapidly changing – and as a student of personal and organizational change, I recently re-read Dr. John Kotter’s book (published in 2008) titled “A Sense of Urgency”.

Quiet Moments of the Day

Deep Imprints
