Never Lose the Child Within - Your World of Business.

What you create in your life will either support you or hinder you in what you want to achieve. Like the culture you create and support within your organisation, it can make the Company great or destroy it – everyone has a part to play including you. Why do we lose the child within us when we enter the world of Business?

55,000 new jobs per year no excuses please

It's your Job – so deliver no excuses

One Tuesday this week I made comments about an article I read very recently on leadership and the pressures it carries and what one should do published in the Globe and Mail Newspaper.  As I stated in my post it was very basic stuff.  I [...]

Watch and learn my Friend

Bring it on – light me up

Just this week Cuba announced it will lay off over 500,000 state employees, yes 500,000.Why?  They need to take action now to support and save their economy. The Government intend to move more into the free-market and therefore are laying off those workers who are less [...]

Who are they protecting?

Rotten to the Core

It seems to me that there are more rules and regulations in place to protect those that waste Government money then there are to protect those that just want to do a good job within the Public Sector.  Protecting those that make claims of false and excessive expenses, those [...]

Who will break the mould

When will the ripples of change start

Blind or What?

If you had a team of people working for you who were guilty of the following actions and who ran your business into the ground and left generations to come with an enormous debt because of their inabilities and self greed, what would you do?

When it's rotten throw it out

Rotten Apples

Yet again more rotten apples in the barrel.  I have written before about people taking personal responsibility and accountability for their actions.  It seems to me that these values and qualities do not exist within the Government ranks for certain Politicians and Senators.  Again we see more issues of miss spending.

Then There Were Two

Grown up Behaviours

After all the weeks of election campaigning and the arguments over policies and the very clear differences between the three political parties, Britain now has a new relationship David Cameron and Nick Clegg.  How will the coalition of these two very different parties work going forward?  How will all the [...]

Individuals Matter

It is only a few more days till Thursday 6th May when the British Elections will take place.  I still hold the opinion that Nick Clegg would make a good Leader.  But like Gordon Brown sometimes you have to act on what is right as against listening to all those spin doctors and election [...]
