My Three Star Leadership Blog

8/22/10: Leadership Reading to Start Your Week
Here are five choice articles from the business schools, the business press and major consulting firms to start off your work week. I'm pointing you to articles about emergency response, frugal engineering, ranking employees, virtual teams, and identifying future leaders.

Management for a New Age
Alan Murray's excellent piece in the Wall Street Journal discusses "the end of management." Read it for ideas and to get your creative juices flowing. Just keep your skeptical hat on.

Simple Leadership Basics
If you just got promoted, you're going to be subjected to all kinds of advice about leadership. It's really pretty simple. Making doing the simple stuff over and over is the hard part.

8/25/10: Midweek Look at the Independent Business Blogs
Every week I select five excellent posts from this week's independent business blogs. This week, I'm pointing you to posts on leadership as a performing art, improving engagement, clear expectations, the seven deadly sins of leadership, and leadership across the ages.

Happiness is good, and it might be profitable
You would think that a major publication like Forbes would have editors who know the difference between correlation and causation. The evidence suggests otherwise.

Danger, Trader Joes!
Will pursuit of too much growth kill the magic of Trader Joe's?

My Posts at Results vs. Activities

A Change is Gonna Come
Listen up, friends. Sam Cooke sang it "A Change is Gonna Come." And you're about to be part of it whether you like it or not.

8/26/10: Top Talent Development Posts this Week
Every week, I review blogs that cover talent development to find the very best talent development posts. This week, you'll find pointers to pieces about stopping top talent brain drain, driving up engagement, managing talent development at Honest Tea, mandatory mentoring duty, and the impact of social media on the hiring process.

My free, email only Three Star Leadership Letter was  titled: "You're a Natural."

You'll also find me at Weekly Leader with a quick review of the business blogs and the Question of the Week.

Client Projects

This week I'm writing promotional material for a book on business strategy, writing articles to enrich and promote one client's web site, and writing blog posts for a client.

There are lots of articles on my blog about my latest book, written with Tom Hall: Ruthless Focus: How to use key core strategies to grow your business.  And you can click over to Amazon or Barnes and Noble to order.

My coaching calendar currently has space open. If you want to get a book done or become a better boss, let's talk about options. What can I do for you?
