A Listening Leader is Golden, Others are a Dime a Dozen

Rick Conlow

Leaders that don’t listen are a dime a dozen, as the saying goes. Almost everyone has had a boss that does all the talking. I am tired of them, aren’t you? Consequently, most of them are bad bosses. Why don’t they listen? Some don’t care; their internal values aren’t attuned to other people’s situation or needs. Others let their ego get in the way which prevents them from paying attention to other people’s ideas.

The 20-Minute Business Proposal

Alan Weiss

A proposal for consulting, advisory, and/or coaching services should be about 2.5 pages and take you 20 minutes to create. That’s because you should already have conceptual agreement with the buyer, and a proposal is a summation of prior agreement, not a negotiation or an exploration. Proposals that go on forever with résumés, photos, and testimonials simply show that there is no trusting relationship with the buyer.
