Management That Makes A Difference:

The Enemy Of Innovation And Creativity

October 8, 2009

Maybe it was just the kind of kid I was, but I’m guessing that most children are constantly reminded by adults to be more efficient. Maybe not exactly in those words. More likely it comes in the form of phrases like “don’t be late”, “use your time wisely”, “don’t waste money” or even “turn off the lights when you leave...

Economic Musings: Aug 29, 2009

August 29, 2009

U.S. ECONOMY Signs that the business cycle may have reached its trough strengthened as inventories were again reduced in the second quarter at a yearly pace, estimated by JP Morgan, of $162 billion. After 10 consecutive months of decline, replacement demand alone can be expected to support manufacturing activity ahead. Just as importantly, U.S. worker productivity in the second quarter...

Economic Outlook: May 2009

June 4, 2009

U.S. ECONOMY Preliminary estimates of 2009 first quarter GDP suggest only a slight improvement from 2008’s fourth quarter (-6.1 vs. -6.3); however, the massive federal stimuli coming forward point to a possible leveling and then rebound in the quarters ahead. Much of the last quarter’s contraction centered on decreases in exports (-30%) and a reduction in inventories held by domestic...

Diversity’s Missing Ingredient

June 4, 2009

When it comes to tapping into the competitive advantage of diversity, few companies succeed. Yesterday I was reminded why. Our firm was having a meeting to discuss important elements of our strategy and marketing efforts, when something really great happened—we got into an argument. Not a disagreement. A loud, contentious, uncomfortable and passionate argument. On one side of the battle...

The Notre Dame Brand

May 25, 2009

Lest anyone think that the current graduation speaker controversy at the University of Notre Dame is merely a matter of partisan politics and media hype, it is worth a closer look. What is happening right now in South Bend, Ind., is not simply a critical moment of truth for a vaunted institution; it is also one of the greatest case...

Rediscovering Work

April 1, 2009

Sometimes when we’re in the midst of a major event or a crisis, we don’t notice big changes that are happening around us. And then, when things settle down and we get up off the floor, we look around and notice that some parts of life have fundamentally shifted. I think that is what’s going on right now in the...

A New Breed Of Loyalty

March 27, 2009

There are many who say that loyalty in the corporate world is dead forever. I could not disagree with them more. The kind of corporate loyalty that was based on hanging around for a certain number of years in order to get a pension and benefits forever may be dead, but I think that both employees and employers are better...

Clueless In Seattle

March 9, 2009

The advance of secularism and moral relativism in the public square is accelerating at an alarming rate – just watch prime time TV programming; see a movie targeted to teens/young adults such as “The Pineapple Express”; note the increase in state court rulings redefining marriage or forcing healthcare workers to participate in medical procedures against their faith-based beliefs; and pay...

Virtual Teams

March 1, 2009

When I speak to audiences about teamwork, one of the most frequently asked questions I get has to do with managing groups of people who are geographically dispersed, a.k.a. virtual teams. This surprises me a little because the topic, as well as the solution for addressing it, is certainly not very sexy. But with so many teams these days comprised...

Economic Outlook: February 2009

February 23, 2009

U.S. ECONOMY With prospects unclear for when a rebound in consumer activity may materialize, corporations are working hard to recalibrate their future plans while strengthening their balance sheets through tighter cash management and de-leveraging. Until such time as the stimulus efforts of the U. S. Treasury bear fruit, such financially conservative behavior is warranted and can be expected to continue....

Yearning For The Authentic

February 5, 2009

Throughout human history, there has never been a shortage of men and women willing to point humanity along the right path. Nor have the needs of the human family ever been a secret: food, shelter, purposeful work, companionship, freedom, forgiveness, acceptance, and love. In every age, there is an abundance of people who are able to articulate the truth of...

Flight 1459 And Everyday Heroes

February 2, 2009

Last weekend, my wife and I went to the Danville Town Green to participate in a Hero's Welcome for one of our own, Captain Chelsey "Sully" Sullenberger.

The “down Economy” Bandwagon

January 20, 2009

It seems like we’ve been preparing for this current recession for the past two or three years, constantly predicting it and staving it off as long as we could, all the while listening to the media tell us that it was just around the corner. And now that it is here—and it is here—we’re witnessing a new media-inspired cottage industry...

A Selfless Man

December 23, 2008

I lit a candle today and prayed during Eucharistic Adoration in our parish chapel for a man I know who was hospitalized yesterday for the second time in two weeks.

Ceo Pride

December 23, 2008

For some reason, I haven't directly addressed this topic in any of my writings over the years. It's not because I'm afraid to or that I find it uninteresting. I think it has more to do with having such mixed feelings. On the one hand, I think the amount of money paid to so many high profile chief executives is...

From The Front Lines Of The Culture War: Gaining Clarity On Catholic Leadership And Accountability

December 23, 2008

As a foot soldier on the front lines for California’s "Yes on 8" campaign, I experienced the “culture wars” from the trenches. I want to share with you what I saw and experienced first-hand because I believe it affects all of us, wherever we live, whatever work we do.

Traveling Without A Ticket

I was in Rome last week and I had to catch a bus, but in Italy you can't buy a ticket on the bus. You have to buy the ticket before you get on the bus. Only I didn't have time to buy a ticket, and I didn't have time to wait for the next bus. So I just got...

Is Jesus Still Relevant?

December 5, 2008

It should come as no surprise to us that, in this modern environment, the relevance of Jesus is being seriously questioned. The reason is simple. The philosophy of Christ is very different from the prevailing philosophies of our modern culture. In fact, they are completely opposed to each other. And yet, the teachings of Christ and these modern philosophies both...
