Clarity Consultants

Often, it is difficult to convince employees to prioritize their learning. Many professionals have hectic schedules and are striving for work-life balance.

Consider Product Options with Minimum Outcomes

Johanna Rothman

Thought leadership: It’s all relative

The Source

Along with terrible haircuts, padded shoulders, and beige, French post-structuralist critical theory was really big in the 1980s. Much of what was written about it (post-structuralism, not the 1980s or beige) was so impenetrable that you could win serious kudos for having managed to read a chapter of Jacques Derrida without having a nervous breakdown.

Seth Godin Blog

It’s tempting to claim the role of artist. Once you’re an artist, you’re free. Free to work your own hours, free to make what you want to make, free to express yourself. Except not really. Because it comes with a hook. The hook of, “here, I made this.” Responsibility for the work. It’s a privilege, and we trade our freedom for it.

Your Lean Six Sigma Belt Program *IS* The Problem

Markovitz Consulting

I visited a company a few weeks ago that asks all of their employees to do a green belt project. It’s not mandatory, but completion of a project is part of their annual review. Not surprisingly, the management boasts that nearly everyone does a project. You know how many people do a second project? Less than 5%. This company is doing okay, but they definitely don’t have a culture of continuous improvement.
