The hoshin kanri X-matrix makes my head hurt. I mean, kudos to the person who invented it for creating something so incredibly compact and information-dense. But I’m not sure it’s the easiest way to convey the information in the hoshin plan. Small dots in three locations on a spreadsheet with text running in two directions isn’t a recipe for easy digestion. image via kanbanize.com.

Photo by: Chad Barr. September 11, 2001. I had brought my entire team to Las Vegas for a leadership growth experience that concluded that fateful morning.

The impact of that event changed the life of every American and surely citizen of the world that day.

cintascotch/Getty Images. U.S. companies are expected to spend more than $37 billion dollars on social media promotion annually each year by 2020, representing 24% of the economy’s total digital advertising spend. It’s an astounding number, given that the vast majority of social media managers charged with getting customers to click on posts and through to their websites operate with little strategy beyond what we call “spray and pray,” an approach that litters social med

We had just begun a multi-hour car trip, tuned the radio to XM’s Bruce Springsteen station, and they were starting a replay of one of his concerts, from Seattle! As they play these concerts they promote the website, www.live.brucespringseen.net , where you can buy entire concerts (at reasonable prices). To the best of my knowledge the Grateful Dead were the ones who took it a step further and started not requiring all content to be paid for (albums, tapes, CDs, etc.).

The Wrong Customers Waste Time, Money and Energy. New salespeople are so eager to show a robust pipeline and close deals that they often find themselves chasing the wrong customers. They mistakenly make pitches to anyone who will listen. Conversely, high performing sales reps ruthlessly focus on target customers where they know they will win the majority of the time.

AnthonyRosenberg/Getty Images. Love it or hate it, office politics is an inevitable part of organizational life. Many people associate political behavior with backstabbing and manipulation — but there is a constructive side to being politically savvy. Being able to negotiate, influence, engage, convince, and persuade others is how things get done in organizations — and how organizations decide what’s worth doing at all.
