Have you ever wondered what servant leadership is? Maybe you already understand the basic concepts but have questions about how servant leadership differs from other leadership styles or if a servant leadership approach is appropriate for your team. The costs of poor leadership often show up in the workplace disguised as low employee engagement, a lack of team cohesion and collaboration, high employee turnover, and failed execution.

I’ve been going through my notes from a strategy class I took to see what holds weight in my thinking now or how to build off of some of the concepts I learned. I’ve typed out a few reasons I often give to people why they need a strategy. Am I missing something that is important to you? You need a definition of success to help you know if the actions you are taking are helping you, harming you, or wasting your time.

As consultants, we are required and recommended to take notes for the meetings we attend. This seems like a simple task because formal education has forced us, at one time or another, to take notes. The world of formal education, however, is typically parsed out so an individual only needs to focus on one subject at a time. Meetings in a ‘professional setting’ on the other hand, can be complex – they can be long and very detail-oriented.

Just because we're working with a distributed team doesn't mean we have to abandon time-tested tools and methods like whiteboarding. Digital look-alikes often cramp creativity and all but eliminate the humanity of shared interactions. Hardware solutions are also limiting and, of course, expensive and immobile. In an increasingly digital and remote-first world, it’s important for us to select tools and processes that allow us to mitigate if not eliminate the above problems.

There is an astounding lack of leadership in Washington D.C. Have you noticed? Its ugly face revealed itself again around the debt ceiling issue. The debt ceiling is a statutory limit on the amount of money the United States government can borrow to fund its operations. The current debt ceiling is $31.4 trillion. Recently, the U.S. Treasury Department said it has used extraordinary measures to avoid breaching the debt ceiling.

When I published Writing Secret 9: Keep Your Writing Clean As You Write, the feedback surprised me. Many of my fellow nonfiction writers write a lot before they get internal feedback. That might be right for them. It's not right for me. I finally understood why I write differently. I think of each iteration as a prototype , not a draft. That means I need to assess the prototype as I proceed, until I'm ready to put the prototype out for larger review or publication.

If you are transitioning into consulting from school or a job in industry or government, you will likely begin traveling more than ever. Sure, maybe you have gone to a few conferences or travelled to your company’s annual meeting, but once you begin a consulting career you will be on the road much more frequently than before. The average consultant travels at least once a month, with the upper end of the spectrum being every Monday through Friday throughout the year.

Getting everyone to agree on what a project should accomplish—and what’s best left for a future effort—can be a real challenge. This is particularly true with digital transformation initiatives, which must often balance the difficulties of long project durations against the market realities of ongoing technology advancements that can quickly change what’s needed (or expected, or available) in a new solution.

According to a recent report by Wellingltone, 82% of business organizations have a project management office. And that’s no wonder – an effectively working PMO can streamline a company’s project management processes, improve their outcomes, optimize costs, and facilitate achieving an organization’s business objectives. However, despite their increasing popularity and significance, PMOs face a number of difficulties.

Earlier this week, Tucker Carlson posted a video on Twitter announcing that he was coming back and bringing his show to Twitter. The initial reactions talked about what does this mean for advertisers, Twitter, and Tucker. I didn’t see much analysis from a strategic standpoint. Which got me to the question: “How likely is this partnership to work for either Twitter or Tucker Carlson?

When economic headwinds pick up, sales leaders are the first to sound the alarm — and chart a new course. Longer sales cycles, larger buying committees, increased price pressure, and smaller teams can quickly combine to reduce your margin for error and increase the urgency to find a solution. To thrive in a challenging environment, sales teams need a rock-solid grasp of the fundamentals and the biggest force-multipliers they can get their hands on.

Most of us, at one point or another, have felt trapped in life’s quicksand, feeling stuck, as if making no progress. Lingering too long can strain our mental and physical health, dull our productivity, blind us to important opportunities, and fracture our connections with family, friends, and clients. However, successfully freeing ourselves from this rut can initiate a domino effect of positive changes, sparking personal and professional growth, invigorating creativity, opening the door to

In the early days of my business in the late ‘80s (making me a certified dinosaur) I know I had to make new connections with business owners through networking and outreach. It was a matter of survival. So, I read a lot of books on the topic and over a period of time got very good at it. And all those connections I made provided a foundation that led to a lot of new clients.

Identify yourself as an expert—a resource—not as a speaker or coach or consultant—which are commodities. The former is of great valued worth high fees. The latter three are easily comparable and highly price sensitive. Case in point: You’ll hear people talk about how to make a lot of money “in the speaking profession.” If you were to charge $35,000 per speech—which is about the very top of the “non-celebrity” range, you’d have to speak twice a month to earn $8
