There is within you an absolute MONSTER capable of doing anything you want. Since that monster is balanced with the rest of your life (if not, I can help with all that), you may find moments, perhaps a lot of them, whereby this can help you a great deal. Letting that monster announce itself, establishing […]
“Better! Faster! Smarter! Sexier! Cheaper!” Our hyper-competitive culture is continually striving to overthrow the status quo with the nascent, emerging competitor. In some ways, this is merely a reflection of how Nature does things–try new variations often, and those which lead to greater chance of survival win. Those which hamper survival instead die out. Very […]
In any situation where you have more than one person, you’re likely to have more than one agenda. More than one desire, and throughout human history, we’ve come up with different ways of resolving such conflicts.

If the tribe–or the company–had a visionary, a creative problem solver who could learn to capitalize on a challenge, that group was better equipped to survive–even prosper. Today, in this fast-paced world of ours, the ability to generate new ideas is […]
One of the challenges posed to me involves what I call the Decision Review. I not only believe in this, I’ve seen it in every relationship where I’ve exerted influence.
