Feedback to See How Others See
Me
Like beauty, service, quality, honesty, or integrity, leadership is in
the eye of the beholder. I judge myself by my intentions. Others judge
me by my actions. My intentions and the actions that others see may be
miles apart. Unless I know that, I am unlikely to change my actions or

Life Accumulates in Our Personal Choice
Accounts
Our choices accumulate in our personal choice accounts. We're accumulating
deficits or surpluses with each decision we make. We are continually shifting
the balance of our choice account. However, the longer our poor choices

Corporate Communications in Crisis
Corporate value statements advocate openness. Professional codes of practice
champion integrity. Managers are expected to have ‘communication
skills’. Substantial investments have been made in communications

Outside the Box Business
'The Box' is a comfort zone. It is where people feel at ease, where they
feel safe. However, if you look at the accomplishments of great thinkers,
