Decision Making Points
I was recently asked to make a decision that involved a relatively small financial consideration. As I was involved in the decision making process I pulled back. It occurred to me that the other individual involved was perfectly capable of making the decision. Empower others, increase your freedom I … [Read more...]
Destination Brands
Is your brand capable of being a destination? While on a recent vacation, my wife and I rented bicycles for a few hours. We decided to make the ride from our resort up the beach a bit to the Ritz-Carlton. Granted the Ritz-Carlton beachfront bar would not be a destination for everyone but for me it … [Read more...]
The answer is yes, what is the question?
Could your organization live up to this informal motto? Recently, I spent three days at the Naples Grand resort and I assure you they can.

I'm never right
No, I am not going to go on a rant about always being wrong. There is a world of difference between "I'm never right" and "I'm always wrong." I'm always wrong projects a defeated and negative attitude. At least that's the way I see it. I'm never right pushes me to challenge my own ideas with … [Read more...]

After writing the role of coffee in blog writing I received a suggestion in the Idea Box for several future blog topics.
