Should all businesses be involved in connecting people with each other? Better yet… should businesses search for that... Continue Reading

How to Decommoditize Your Leadership

Posted on 10 March 2010

All leaders want to make a difference; be transformational. And some do and some really don’t. We’ve all known leaders that are easily replaced. And (hopefully) we’ve known some that we can’t imagine doing without.

The difference begins with the bond we create by integrating who we are with what we do. Making a difference... Continue Reading

Posted on 10 March 2010

When beginning or introducing anything—an idea, a project, or a new venture—you need to start with asking yourself why. In Rework, authors Jason Fried and David Heinemeier Hansson write candidly about where to begin:
