Atricle Dump - Are You Afraid of Marketing, For Fear Of Growing TOO Fast?
Why Learning Organisations Make Horse Sense
Flogging a dead horse is a commonly used idiom here in the UK. If someone is trying to convince someone else to do or feel something without any hope of succeeding, we say they're flogging a dead horse. This is used when someone is trying to raise interest in an issue that no-one supports anymore; beating a dead horse will not make it do any more work. 1. Similarly, the tribal wisdom of the Dakota Indians, passed on from generation to generation, says that, "When you discover that you are riding a dead horse, the best strategy is to dismount."

The Death Spiral
Sometimes things just happen. Maybe we lose focus and take our eyes off the ball. Maybe we don't recognize the signs. Sometimes it happens quickly due to a loss of a major customer or loss of a major product line. Sometimes it is a slow, gradual process.

Morale suffers, employee turnover increases, net profit declines, costs seem to get out of control and losses become imminent. Some Owners, Presidents and CEO's who find themselves in a situation facing these warning signs may actually contribute to the creation of “The Death Spiral”

Leaders Awake; This is Urgent and Important
We have seen the headlines in every country from time to time. If something is not done about "A" then the country will suffer the bad consequences "B". We see and hear a strident call from government to get behind a display of leadership to take a little pain so to get a lot of gain in a few years.We have all also probably experienced it at some time in organisations we work for; the call to arms that tells us of an impending doom if we do not change our ways. And yet, nine times out of ten, it seems to me, the call is heard for a short time and then falls quiet against the soundproofing walls of organisationa

Inspiring and Energizing with Strong Verbal Communications
"Half the world is composed of people who have something to say and can't, and the other half who have nothing to say and keep saying it." — Robert Frost, early 20th century American poetWe can't inspire and energize people with memos, mission statements, data and analysis, charts, goals and objectives, measurements, systems, or processes. These are important factors in improving performance. But that's management, not leadership. People are inspired and aroused by exciting mental pictures of a preferred future, principles or values that ring true, and being part of a higher cause or purpose that helps them fee
