		<title>Quote: Leadership vs management</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Ross Perot is 78 years old today. He is a successful businessman (founder of both Electronic Data Systems and Perot Systems), one of the wealthiest people in America, and a former presidential candidate (1992 and 1996).




&#8220;Lead and inspire people. Don&#8217;t try to manage and manipulate people. Inventories can be managed but people must be led.&#8221;




Ross Perot (b. 6.27.1930)

Woodrow Wilson (no relation) was born 151 years ago today.
If you lose your wealth, you have lost nothing. If you lose your health, you have lost something. But if you lose your character, you have lost everything.
Woodrow Wilson

		<title>Quote: Dreams</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Walt Disney was undoubtedly one of the world&#8217;s best at making dreams come true. He was born 106 years ago today, and so we honor his birthday by sharing a couple of his thoughts about dreams:
 It&#8217;s kind of fun to do the impossible.
and
Somehow I can&#8217;t believe that there are any heights that can&#8217;t be scaled by a man who knows the secrets of making dreams come true. This special secret, it seems to me, can be summarized in four C s. They are curiosity, confidence, courage, and constancy.
What are ...]]></description>

		<title>I&#039;m not really normal</title>
		<description><![CDATA[While visiting relatives in our hometown of Tulsa last week, I found myself on kitchen duty with my brother-in-law one afternoon. Cleaning the kitchen during the holidays is somewhat like trying to hit a moving target, because the activity never really ends &#8212; it just reaches a lull between two peaks.
But we eventually conquered the task, and with a final triumphant flourish I closed the door of the dishwasher and bent down to start the machine. When I hesitated for a moment to familiarize myself with the settings, my brother-in-law ...]]></description>

		<title>More networking tips for introverts (and extroverts)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

While most of my posts live a short life and retire quietly to the archives, this post from last spring about networking tips for introverts continues to get several hits hits every week, and has been referenced on other blogs. Since there seems to be a lot of interest in this topic, I continue to watch for articles and information that may add to the discussion.
This afternoon I was reviewing the blogs and websites of some of the people who have visited my blog and came across this interesting post ...]]></description>

		<title>What is &quot;personal branding&quot;?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[During a recent conversation, a friend started talking about a bad experience he had the other day with an overbearing and  disingenuous salesperson. He felt like the salesperson&#8217;s persona &#8212; hair, smile, language, clothing, jewelry, etc. &#8212; was just an act only slightly less transparent than that of a circus clown. He described with great disgust how the salesperson was willing to &#8220;fudge the numbers&#8221; a little to close the deal.
Then my friend said something totally unexpected:
&#8220;It&#8217;s all this &#8216;personal branding&#8217; stuff that just makes me sick.&#8221; [You can ...]]></description>

		<title>The value of a consultant, Part 2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As a follow-up to my recent post about the value of a consultant,  I wanted to share this related post I just came across from KnowHr entitled &#8220;10 Ways to Know It&#8217;s Time to Dump Your Consultant.&#8221;








clipped from www.knowhr.com





If he says “synergize” more than three times in 5 minutes.
If he’s talking about your business plan on his cellphone earpiece while boarding an airplane.
If he’s so full of himself that he takes his jacket off and tries to hand it to the pilot to hang up. (Sorry, sir, I don’t ...]]></description>

		<title>Company values</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#160;

This poster by Anthony Burrill is profound in it&#8217;s simplicity. Many organizations have a list of company values that most most employees can&#8217;t remember, much less comprehend. This poster conveys values that most people inherently understand, and are easy to remember.
Thanks to the KnowHR blog for finding and sharing this.

		<title>You can&#8217;t do it all</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One thing I&#8217;ve learned in life is that I am not designed to work alone. Two people working together can accomplish far more than those two people working independently. This is one of those truths that almost everybody readily acknowledges, yet quickly forgets.
There lurks within me a streak of independence that loathes to ask for help, so I often end up spending too much time on a project, doing sloppy work on the project, or not completing the project.
Trying to do everything myself not only robs me, but it also ...]]></description>
