His ability to execute was the determining factor on his performance and success. It sounds so easy, but the ability to get things done, is one of the most treasured acts in business.

The Walt Disney Company, which reported more than $38 billion in revenue in 2010, was started by a high-school dropout who loved to draw and had a passion for learning. Walt Disney founded an empire on fantasy and risk taking. While he was at it, he built fantastical amusement parks, developed a brand recognized by children and adults all over the world, and created an educational foundation for

“Tell me about your mother.” Anyone who has been in therapy at any point during the past century has likely heard that request, now a go-to punch line for an entire industry of mental health. Starting with Sigmund Freud in the late 1800s, exploring one’s past for hidden or repressed hurts and psychoses has been the therapeutic model for attaining emotional well-being. Freud’s idea of the “

We can’t do it all, so we do most things poorly—on a good day. And we’ve lived like this for so long that we don’t even realize how very far we are from reaching our potential! Most times, we’re just reacting, as though we’re being jerked to and fro by some gigantic remote-control device. We’re trying desperately to keep one thing or other from crashing and burning. And we’re doing well just

How to leverage relationships and be the provider of choice Have you ever called a supplier or service provider with a question and gotten passed around the company from one person the next? Or maybe you’ve met with a product rep, and he acted as if he was anxious to get on with his day and get you out of the office? It’s that kind of experience that led retail consultant Rick Segel to

Every projection about this summer’s blockbuster The Avengers severely underestimated its earning potential. As the No. 3 top-grossing movie of all time, only behind Avatar and Titanic, The Avengers has currently grossed over $1.4 billion worldwide—a number that continues to grow more than a month after its release.So what made a seemingly normal comic book movie into the year’s biggest hit?

Most of us baulk at the idea of indicating, even in the slightest manner, that the boss is anything but god-like in his decisions and ideas. “Let’s do X merger” “Yes, boss!” “I think the sky is green today” “Yes, boss!” People who do nothing but agree sycophantically are scorned as ‘yes’ men, but is the alternative even possible? We’ve all felt the pressure to stay in the boss’ good books, and

Walk into any bookstore or library and you will find no shortage of books on leadership. A search for the word “leadership” on Amazon.com results in more than 60,000 entries. Search for “followership” however and only 150 entries pop up. While there is clearly an overwhelming desire to learn about leadership, interest in followership is decidedly underwhelming. Does this mean that it is very

Workplace flexibility is a term that has been around for a while now, but most organisations are not as flexible as they can be. Sure, if you fit neatly into a category like “working mother”, they will be politically correct and offer you flexible hours, as long as you don’t mind feeling like you are on the career track to nowhere. Senior management in many industries still believe that people

Deadlines are looming - you have more caffeine than blood running in your veins, and you are seriously contemplating taking your laptop into the toilet with you to maximise the time left before D-Day … and your boss asks if you could put together a 10-minute presentation by tomorrow.

by Michael Lee People who show assertiveness at work are usually the ones who get noticed, get promoted and enjoy salary raises. Of course, assertiveness is different from aggressiveness. Superiors tend to get threatened or turned off by the latter. But not everyone is born assertive. And not everyone is a natural star employee. If you want to develop assertiveness at work and be rewarded for
