New Year’s Resolutions are for Losers

When was the last New Year’s resolution you made that came true? Last year? The year before that? Five years? Never? This time of year annoys me because I know how to set goals that come true. And New Year’s resolutions encourage people who don’t really know how to set goals that come true to […]

Organizing Roles

Clearly understanding and managing according to accountability and responsibility is critical for the success of your organization. Your organizational chart should represent the roles that are functionally necessary and individuals may be assigned many roles. Those roles represent nothing more than a process inventory that an individual employee is accountable and/or responsible for.

Stop Letting People Waste Your Time

How much time are you wasting because you can’t say “no?” Chances are, unless you’ve got a hierarchy of pre-vetted business priorities, that number is higher than you think. If you don’t know for certain you’re working on the highest-priority item you possibly can be, you’re not going to tell your team you’ll get back […]
