Here at Lead Change Group, we know that problems are most effectively solved when individuals come together to meld ideas, energies, and approaches. To use a golf analogy, not every shot is a long drive. Many times, golfers have to take a chip shot to move the ball along for a short distance, with incisive accuracy. If you are new to the Chip Shots green, welcome.

With August now coming to a close, many of us – myself included – are feeling that bittersweet tinge that comes with the end of the summertime period. Indeed, contrary to so many of those back-to-school commercials, I personally am not eager to see the summer break come to an end for my daughters because I love having them around. Then again, as my wife likes to say, I’m not a fan of things ending.

One of the most important things you can do is to identify your team’s mission. And one of the biggest wastes of time is creating a mission statement that is not used. How to Write a Mission Statement in 5 Steps explains what a mission statement is and how to write one. But simply writing a good statement does not ensure it will be used. How you create it is as important as what it says.

A rose by any other name would smell as sweet, works for roses, not people. People don’t like “any other name.” They like their own. I’m terrible with names. It might be genetic.

Do you wish implementing change was not such an uphill battle? I’ve worked with scores of people who have undertaken the challenge of implementing change in their organizations, and many felt the same way. My job is usually to help make sense of the task ahead, or to help them get unstuck in the middle of it. As a result, I’ve developed a set of tools and approaches which have been used to overcome what can seem like endless obstacles to the adoption of change.

Here are 10 important questions business leaders should ask, according to Ken Blanchard and Garry Ridge, authors of Helping People Win At Work : Does my business have a clear, meaningful, and easily understood vision/mission? Do I have the right people in the right seats on the bus? Do I have a BHAG (big hairy audacious goal), and have I communicated it to my employees?

I have worked with some great worship leaders and pastors. Jason with Building 429 was once our worship pastor. He is phenomenal at helping people engage in corporate worship. I’m not intending this post, however, to be a shout-out to any of them specifically. I should mention our current worship pastor, Bo Warren, is also one of the best. But, many others I worked with are incredible leaders.

Steve Chandler’s Wealth Warrior has had a more profound impact on my attitude about money than anything else I’ve ever read. I’ve now studied 7 of Steve’s books. They’re quick, easy reads because he uses a conversational style, and the chapters are short. But don’t be deceived by this simplicity. The points he makes are profound and potentially life-changing.

As we all know, young workers are a contemptible bunch. They’re “lazy,” and lack the admirable work ethic of their elders. They have an overblown sense of entitlement, believing they have some kind of right to walk right into a plum job in their early twenties rather than working their way up. They might even be a generation of narcissists, a consequence of their over-indulgent helicopter parents and a culture that favors giving every kid on the soccer team a trophy just for sh

One of my friends forwarded me an article on how S ocial Media is broken and should be "started all over again". He thought I might disagree but actually I do not. I agree with most of it. Social Media needs to be a place companies interact with real customers. DDE Media does a lot of social media for clients. And the 2 most important roles are the toughest to see.

I came to mindfulness as a healing practice after overcoming an addiction to Adderall during my junior year of college. I found myself in this situation because I thought that using Adderall to help me focus was no big deal — an attitude shared by 81% of students nationwide. Adderall simply seemed like an innocuous shortcut to getting things done – and to do so efficiently yet effortlessly.

From the pressure to keep up with social media to the low-level irritation produced by a world in which something is always beeping or buzzing, technology can produce its own set of anxieties. At the very least, you need to organize your devices, accounts and online time so that you reduce your tech-induced stress. That means letting go of the idea that you need to keep up with social media , reply to every email and accumulate the maximum number of LinkedIn connections.

In this latest flurry of debate about working long hours , some have intimated that overwork is inevitable in highly competitive industries such as law, finance, and high tech. But that’s just not true. We’ve all heard by now that productivity decreases with overwork, while attrition and health care costs increase. What you may not have heard is that businesses who drive people relentlessly create competitors who poach top talent by offering a more humane way to work.
