As I’ve said many times before, things don’t always have to boil down to either/or types of decisions – not everything must end-up on the altar of sacrificial decisioning. Bottom line…check your motivations. With the proper perspective and focus it is quite possible to be both efficient and effective.

The bottom line in regard to today’s thoughts on business modeling can be summed up in the following three points: 1.) mikemyatt: A leaders Intellect should not be a depreci. if you cannot define your business model, then you likely don’t have one. if you don’t have one, create one, and; 3.) I Think Not.

As the old saying goes “you only get one chance to make a first impression,&# and often times it is the perception of appearance that determines whether or not you are even afforded the opportunity to get up to bat. The truth is most people when first meeting someone will quickly attempt to size them up.

No is not all it’s cracked-up to be…Still don’t believe me? It means your vision is not understood, your team is not aligned and your talent is not performing up to par. The word no ends discussions, stifles creativity, kills innovation, impedes learning, and gates initiative.

Bottom line…Don’t manipulate for personal gain, rather facilitate for mutual benefit. i.e. Will my employees ever respect/lean on an assistant manager rather than the manager? To the extent that anything under your direct or indirect control is scarce or proprietary your ability to create influence will increase significantly.

Give me real leaders who possess courage, vision, and a bias toward action, and spare me the timidity of mediocre managers posing as leaders. If change and innovation weren’t key contributors to sustainable success, and the enterprise could just run on auto-pilot, you could replace the CEO with a General Manager.

You should know from the outset that I fundamentally disagree with the concept of CEO term limits, and quite frankly I cannot really come up with a valid reason for supporting such a regressive concept. Any such argument in my opinion is rooted either in flawed business logic or politically correct rhetoric (usually one in the same).

From my perspective, the issues surrounding conflict resolution can be best summed-up in three words…&# Deal With It. &# While you can try and avoid conflict (bad idea), you cannot escape conflict…The fact of the matter is that conflict in the workplace is unavoidable. If so, you likely have issues with conflict.

I can sum-up my feeling on this in one word… ridiculous. And as odd as it may sound, one of the greatest impediments to building productive teams is practicing management by consensus. In recent months I have observed a decent amount of politically correct discourse on the topic of team building and equality.

My advice to you is not to let your business get caught up in embracing random ideas – at least not without some initial analysis being conducted to determine the likelihood of success. Contingency : Nothing is without risk, and when you think something is without risk, that is when you’re most likely to end-up in trouble.
