Who's With You?

Today's markets are more competitive than ever. In many organizations, people wear many hats and are working on multiple projects at once. Every organization has to deal with the allocation of resources and determining which approaches to take to accomplish a goal or strategy.

Unless you live in a cave, you have to interact with people. Managing the galaxy of people necessary to accomplish your goals can be a daunting task.

I have a client who has developed a QUANTITATIVE way to measure the alignment of various groups and use that measure to predict the likelihood of success of various initiatives, goals and strategies. This can yield powerful and compelling results.

When charged with managing/leading a group to accomplish a goal, wouldn't you like to know who's WITH YOU and who's NOT?

I've seen it in action and find the results impressive and potentially very useful to any organization. Contact me and I'll tell you more.

Don't Put Things Off

My friend, Chris Loudon, our local Police Chief died unexpectedly Monday. He was 54. Chris was a good man; an asset to his community, to his organization, and to his family. He had just recently been made Chief, and he had begun to put his stamp on the police department. At 54 he had every reason to believe that he'd have the time to convert his vision into reality. Unfortunately, fate intervened.

Take a moment to think about your goals and visions. Focus on the imporant, discard the trivial, calm down, stay focused and savor the moments.

And when you get home tonight, hug your family.
