Miller Mike, In this speed-at-all-costs world we've created, there is a complete lack of Plan B. Smart leaders will do everything in their power to keep a decreae in velocity from becoming a self imposed adversary due to a lack of contingency planning.

This is so much the case that some CEOs will avoid restructuring initiatives at all costs. Give me real leaders who possess courage, vision, and a bias toward action, and spare me the timidity of mediocre managers posing as leaders. The mere discussion of corporate reengineering can cause fear, anxiety, and in some cases even panic.

If your organization confuses loyalty and tenure there is trouble on the horizon…If your business rates tenure higher than performance as a measure for employee evaluation, it is time for you to consider updating your talent management practices and procedures. So, what’s wrong with tenure you ask?

Perhaps you were the right person for the job initially, but has the company outgrown your management ability? Did you bestow the title upon yourself simply because you had the authority to do so, or are you the right person for the job? As the founder, can you, or should you, attempt to grow with the company?

While being motivated solely by conquest may allow you to achieve a stated goal or objective, the cost will be great. They resist at all costs letting that dreaded public display of compassion slip out. A leader whose focus is on serving others will find it difficult to wander off course.

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.

I think you’ll find that your view of the world will change dramatically when you rely upon your own observations, as opposed to what you read in a management report, or what you hear third or fourth hand in a meeting. The arrogant CEO doesn’t value the input of line and staff management.

Therefore any items that don’t constitute $375 dollar an hour work that can be leveraged down to someone with a lower hourly rate provides positive arbitrage both in terms of cost savings and time recovered for higher and better use activities. As an up-and-coming preparing for management, I'm working to grasp these core concepts.
