What Makes P&G Great?

In the CEO Afterlife

I could talk about their brands, their global clout, their sales growth or their stock market value. Not today. The mystical factor that distinguishes P&G from everyone else is people.

Self care isn’t just for breakfast anymore…

Anese Cavanaugh

Just back from SF for the past week where I had a really rich-for-the-spirit week of doing work I love, taking great care of myself, and hanging out with people I appreciate.

Steve Farber

A Case For Being a ‘Nice’ Boss

You're Not the Boss of Me

My uncle, now deceased, used to have a little wooden plaque hanging on the wall of his den. It read, “ It’s nice to be important, but more important to be nice”.

Specifically, I allowed my disdain for unsolicited telephone surveys to affect the way I spoke to him.

Tim Tebow Should Mentor Justin Bieber

Ron Edmondson

I had a thought the other day…. What if Tim Tebow mentored Justin Bieber? I love intentionality. I love people who use their influence for good. That’s what I see in Tim Tebow. I loved THIS STORY about Tebow’s work with suffering people each week. It’s incredible. Here’s an excerpt: Every week, Tebow picks out someone who is suffering, or who is dying, or who is injured.
