Do you Perfect Something Until it’s a Perfect Disaster?
Psychologists consider perfectionism to be an obsessive personality type. Perfectionists set unreasonable and unrealistic standards to which neither he nor others can possibly meet.
Many perfectionists are crippled by their thinking. In the quest to be perfect and “do” perfect, the paralysis sets in. We have all heard the phrase, “Paralysis by Analysis.” Most perfection is neither measurable nor unattainable. Continue reading ‘The Process Engineer…’ »
This post is a blog from Leadership Now, Leading Blog. It addresses the age-old problem of how most managers and Human Resource professionals spend 80% of their time with 20% of the employees. The 20% who are problems. The old 80/20 rule. Wouldn’t it be nice if we could spend more of our time on the high performers/high potentials? It is surely something to think about and set a plan to make it a reality. Are you up to the task? – Judy W Bell

… 6 Ways to Attract and Retain
The Corporate Executive Board, a leading research company, reports that high-potential employees (A Players) are becoming increasingly dis-engaged and are readying themselves to seek new job opportunities.
I saw this play out just this week. My daughter is a CPA in New York and a young career professional. An executive recruiter called her “out of the blue” and within a week, she had a better job with an approximate 40% increase in salary. And… better benefits. And… she was not even actively looking for a new job! Had she been completely engaged, she would not have bothered with the interview. Perhaps she would not have returned the recruiter’s call.

or How to Focus While Letting Your Mind Wander
All you would-be writers out there! As you begin writing you will have times when you have the perfect word or idea in your head but your hands just will not type them for you. What’s a writer to do?
I write business blogs. Most weeks I write between 5 and 10 blogs. Most of the time my fingers hum along the laptop much as a pianist plays a concerto. Sometimes, though, the right word does not come. It is usually a familiar word and is on the tip of my mind (or fingertips), but the word eludes me. Continue reading ‘The Red Fire Hydrant …’ »
Credibility is built. Credibility can be between two people or groups of people. What is your professional BRAND? Your Brand will involve credibility… or lack thereof.
Credibility goes hand-in-hand with trust. Everything that we do in today’s world-both professional and personal- involves a great deal of trust and credibility. Remember… you only have one chance to make a good first impression. And many times that first impression is what establishes credibility- or establishes a “lack of credibility.”

Character is often used to define a person’s integrity, such as he has “upstanding character” or “his character is lacking.” Character is actually a set of behavior traits that define what type of person you are.
Most of us were told as children that all we ever really have is our “name” and that we must protect our reputation and integrity at all costs. I think that most of us still agree with that wise age-old advice.
What really could be worth losing your sense of self as well as your integrity?
Character really does count! In the end it’s one of the few things that matter.
“Character, no circumstance, makes the person.”
— Booker T. Washington
What’s that? The Pareto Principle is also known as the 80/20 Rule. We’ve all heard of this rule and it is in practice in most aspects of our lives. Simply stated, the principle submits that 80% of effects come from 20% of causes. Additionally, the Pareto Principle is referred to as the “law of the vital few” and the “principle of factor sparsity”.
Italian economist, Vilfredo Pareto, first wrote about this phenomenon in 1906. Pareto developed a mathematical formula to document his findings that 20% of the population owned 80% of the land. Pareto was also able to establish that 80% of the peas in his garden came from 20% of the plants. Continue reading ‘What is the Pareto Principle?’ »
