Leadership and the Harry Potter Syndrome
When looking at filling first/middle level leadership positions, the vast majority of organizations commendably prefer to promote from within. Unfortunately, with few exceptions, the vast majority of organizations suffer from the Harry Potter Syndrome of leadership development.<

There are dreams, there are goals, and there are MIBAG’s. What’s a MIBAG? It’s an acronym for Magnificent, Inspiring, Bold, and Audacious Goals. In other words, it isn’t your normal everyday, dull, yawn-inducing goal.

Example – let’s say your company has a problem with staff members continually arriving late, leaving the company short staffed at the start of many business days. Not only is this annoying personally, but it limits productivity, customer satisfaction, and morale. The typical way to address this problem would be to talk to those who are the primary offenders and see whether that will eliminate or reduce the problem. But, using the MIBAG process you would introduce a Magnificent, Inspiring, Bold, and Audacious Goal by announcing that the company would be 100% staffed at opening every day and would work hard to eliminate the problem – then talking to the offenders and putting them on notice.

MIBAG’s shift company focus and light fires under it by committing new resources, in fact, committing the whole company to extraordinary achievement. MIBAG’s are not for the faint of heart because they create quantum change and I am certainly not advocating them for every company or every business owner. But for those companies that have large ambitions and appetites for achievement, using the MIBAG process can be the spark that thrusts the enterprise into hyperspeed.

Take your current primary goal and ask:

Is this goal Magnificent?
Can we make it the beacon of the company’s focus?
Is this goal Inspiring?
Can we get everyone inspired to achieve it?
Is this goal Bold?
Can we make it bolder?
Is this goal Audacious?
Can we get everyone to understand what we all have to do to achieve it?
Do we have (or can we get) the resources to achieve it?
Do we really want to do this?

Irrespective of if the changes are in the form of new laws that are brought in or old laws that were amended to reflect changes, pleading ignorance is not an option for CPAs.

Cross-cultural Management is a system designed to train and make known to people in the global business about the variations of cultures, practices and preferences of consumers around the globe.

Management is needed whenever several people work together in an organized unity, to reach organizational goals. Most companies and other business organizations have profit as their primary objective. If a firm stops having profits, it will be rather difficult to support its functioning on employees’ own initiative.
