The people who reach the peak of their career climb are the best communicators. “No matter what your job is, success will be determined: 5% by your academic credentials; 15% by your professional experiences; 15% by your natural ability; and 65% by your communication skills,” argues author Chuck Garcia in “A CLIMB TO THE TOP: Communication & Leader

If you have a great customer, your process will always work. If you have the wrong customer, your process will never work.”.

Respectful authenticity is about this constant process of being truthful – first with yourself and then with others. To say the things that need to be said. And to do it in a kind and respectful way. Being authentic isn’t about saying whatever you think or feel. That’s going to be damaging to either you personally, to others, or to the company.

I once worked with a pastor on a leadership issue, which was causing harm to the church. The pastor wanted me to help him think through how to address the issue. It was a personnel issue – which are always the hardest. One of the staff members was considered a lousy team player by the rest of the staff. He was lazy, divisive, and disrespectful to the senior pastor.

An organization is essentially the sum total of its physical, financial, human, intellectual, and relationship capital. Different industries and different business models have always maintained different percentages of these asset types.

Big box retail stores are losing relevance, while e-commerce and specialty stores grow in appeal. People no longer want — or need — to shop as anonymous customers in large stores with shelves stocked high in aisle after aisle. As a result, big box retail must shift its strategy — from competing on access and selection to staging big experiences and providing big discounts.

Star Wars has become one of the defining sagas of our time. As of now, it’s earned more than $30 billion. No one predicted that level of success.

George Lucas, its writer and director, later said that “ nobody thought it was going to be a big hit.” When A New Hope was released, most insiders thought they had a dud on their hands.
