Have you figured out how to apply the laws of scarcity to brand management? While a brand without exposure is not much of a brand, I consistently find that brand exposure is an aspect of brand management that is all too often overlooked as a success metric. If not, then this post is for you.

Anyone paying attention to current events has recently witnessed that it doesn’t really matter whether you’re a politician, investment banker, CEO, or just an average citizen, when it comes to making a simple decision, managing a crisis, or attempting to exploit an opportunity, timing is everything.

Teaching someone how to get to a yes is one of the most valuable things a leader can do. I have found that the most common reasons people tend to cite in support of using no are as follows: It helps to keep them from wasting time; It somehow manages risk; It builds character, and; It helps them focus by not biting off more than they can chew.
