Saints At Work: St. Charles Borromeo

December 1, 2011

No computers... No phones... Yet what powerful business tips are found in the life of this 16th Century saint! As we scramble to daily improve our FaceBook and Twitter sales and awareness outreach, it's difficult to imagine that anything—or anyone—from the 16th Century could reveal powerful business tips for success today.  But the life of Saint Charles Borromeo is a...

The Danger of Fame

The Danger Of Fame

December 15, 2009

Fame. A few months ago, prompted by all the news about Michael Jackson’s troubled life and drug-related death and the similarities between him and Elvis Presley, I started to think about the dangers of fame. And when the travails of Jon and Kate (of the Plus Eight television show) became known, I sat down and wrote a first draft of...

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

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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.

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...

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.  He is suffering from emphysema and an infection after recent surgery.  The candle burned brightly, more brightly than the others, for the hour I was in the chapel.  The light...

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...

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. As you may remember, California’s Proposition 8 (Yes on 8 )...
