Poems are a fun way of storytelling, even for business. I wanted to share this short poem I wrote about business leadership and corporate culture in our changed world. bit.ly/2uyB10e

Everyone needs to see this and, more importantly, think hard about it. What does this mean for your industry and your company? How are you personally going to take advantage of it? Will you explore the new paths it's opening up for you, or will you let it…lnkd.in/f5UPkR5
It's so good to hear this sort of thinking from global influencers like Gary Vaynerchuck. In my experience when people don't perform well at work, it's almost always down to poor leadership and management. At Omnicare we emphasise that the main job of ev…lnkd.in/f9-7zY8
This is what so many people, especially in business, get wrong - they don't realise that focusing on helping others succeed is not only the sign of a true leader, but is also the foundation of their own success. lnkd.in/fjXcKHx
Gary V is the master of contemporary online marketing! And I love how generous he is with his knowledge. This article is a great wake-up call to anyone in business today to stop trying to promote and advertise on today's platforms with yesterday's tactics lnkd.in/fiSQSYb

Too many business managers still hold onto the belief that to be an effective boss and to maintain the respect of your team you must be consistently tough. They believe that kindness is weakness. Nothing could be further from the truth. Being tough has no…lnkd.in/frnMipp
Thanks Gary Goldie for sharing this Gary V clip with me. If you're a boss and you haven't seen it already, you need to. The single biggest mistake bosses make is failing to understand one simple truth - as a manager or supervisor, your job is to help and…lnkd.in/fUxj-Sy
If more companies and their leaders would start trying to do things differently instead of clinging to old belief systems and habits, we could make the world of business a much better place - more empathy and less blame-seeking; more self-responsibility a…lnkd.in/f9P4Tgv

I totally agree with Scott Bywater: if we sharpen the saw, we can do the other habits better. I think that's why Covey put Sharpen the Saw as the 7th habit. Continually improving yourself is what wraps it all together and keeps us current and on track.…lnkd.in/g6R4W5i
Love this! Nothing more needs to be said. lnkd.in/fFT5NSY
This is so true! As Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr said: “Alas for those that never sing, but die with all their music in them.” I find it sad that so many people live such "safe" lives, especially in our nanny state developed world. A "safe" life, more often…lnkd.in/fT4HGCN
It was such a privilege to present my new Mind Safari experience at the Chief Customer Officer Conference in Sydney on Wednesday. Thanks to Corinium for hosting the event and for asking me to present in a way that's different to the norm. It was an action…lnkd.in/fSBjt6R

We're frequently told that self-interest is bad. Actually, self-interest is a counter-intuitive concept. For example, research shows that helping others is really good for us, physically and mentally. For example, a 2017 study by United Health Group show…lnkd.in/fuxvSUC
This is so important! Too many of the bosses I've come across think they need to be hard-nosed to get results. It's BS and there's truck-loads of research to prove that now. Having said that, a good boss does sometimes have to be tough, but I live by the…lnkd.in/fWWrn3P
