Other ‘strategies’ that were once cosmetic, including diversity and inclusion, have been revealed to be both good for the bottom line and for human betterment. It means shedding the old work ethic in favor of a new ethic of work. And the inequality gap has been cracked further open, and we face an interesting watershed moment.

Usually sponsors have more senior positions than mentors, and it is their responsibility to advocate for an individual and pull them up the ranks to a top level position in the company. Develop your web of influence (key stakeholders, decision makers, influencers, connectors) to assist you in reaching your goal.

Not recognizing, developing, and rewarding talent is the fastest way I know of to drive talent out of your organization and directly into the hands of your competition. You see tenure is not synonymous with loyalty, but rather is more often a measure of compliance and survival. .&# the company is not leveraging its true talent base.

Some 80% of government contracts are never put up for bid, and if a contract is under a certain dollar amount, government agencies are under no obligation to issue a bid notice. In addition, when your bid is the first time a government agency learns of your company, you can be sure your proposal is heading for the bottom of the pile.

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).

After all, women have traditionally been seen as the mainstay volunteer core for many charities, so it makes sense that while many may not have the free time to give to causes, perhaps they are making up for it with funding. Because as is the case so often – it’s all about the power of the bottom line. What do you think?

Bottom line…unproven leaders come with a high risk premium. Bottom line – leaders who build a static business doom themselves to failure. I am a firm believer that even when certain traits are not present they can be acquired, developed and refined so long as one thing is present – the desire to do so.

I believe that it can actually be both, but that decision lies solely with the employer, and is not really up to the employee no matter how much they might feel it is. I personally dont feel bonuses work to promote a good work ethic. Is a year-end bonus a right of entitlement or a privilege to be earned? a 12 month project.
