Prahalad, stopping the "most talented" brain drain, managing managers, the complicated lives of today's leaders, and Volkswagen's acquisition of Porsche.

A Lesson and a Question

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 designing a training program, assessment tools, motivation, selecting new managers, and development.

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 mostly between projects. I'm writing blog posts for one client and helping another sketch out a book idea. My coaching calendar currently has space open. If you want to get a book done, let's talk about options.

You can read about my latest book, Ruthless Focus: How to use key core strategies to grow your business on my website or just click over to Amazon and buy a few copies.
