Coming Together as a Leadership Team
Whether you work as a team of executives running a mid-sized company, a team of professionals serving on a board, or a team of managers in a start-up company, the way, the how, and the what of your teamwork creates an indelible impact on the culture and the organization you're leading. The team's impact is exponentially stronger than the sum of the individual leaders. And, if you would like to be on a high-performing team, the symbiotic effect of a positive, collaborative leadership team is the way to get there!

8 Examples to Expand Your Success
2010 - Executive INTELLIGENT blog
August - The Limits to Your Success
When you think about the things that may be holding you back, don't forget to take a personal inventory. Chances are, the reasons you may not have what you want, are your own doing.

Research has shown that to avoid getting the wrong results, we need to make sure that people aren't operating under faulty assumptions. This was revealed in a 2005 study of the Army OPFOR, a training brigade. The study makes clear, that despite the plan and knowing the tasks to complete a project, even when providing training, there are all sorts of assumptions that people make, leading to unintended results.

This is particularly true when we look at the meaning behind messages, .....

What will this year's business strategy include? It is expected to take another year for the economy to fully make the turn to recovery. In other words, for many, finances will continue to be restricted as companies and employees hold on to keep their jobs and financial incentives aren't likely to be plentiful.
