Decisions, Decisions
Do you ever wonder why decisions you make foster reactions that you never dreamed of? In a Hay Group research brief entitled "Executive Blind Spots," the results of a large survey concluded that the higher executives rose within an organization; • The more they over-rated themselves compared to how they were rated by others, and; • The wider the gap between how they saw themselves and how their peers, subordinates, and managers viewed them.

I Resolve To...
Does your company set goals for the coming year? Are you measured (and paid) based upon the attainment of these goals? Do you have incremental milestones that need to be reached in order to progress towards these goals? Why is it that most people don't do the same thing for themselves? What goals do you have for your future? When was the last time you made New Year's resolutions? When was the last time you kept them? A goal without a plan is only a dream!

Leader or Liar?
Do you think leaders are liars? A recent PBS show investigated the question - "Are leaders good liars?" According to psychologist Carrie Keating's experiments in human behavior - "the findings seem to demonstrate a correlation between persuasive abilities and dominant behavior." From the corporate world, to the curious gene pool that makes good politicians, the case can be made, according to Ms. Keating, for why leaders are good liars.

"There's a huge amount of skepticism about what it means to be a corporate leader. But it's like any other business challenge; we just have to work through it."

How Do You Define Success?
The modern dictionary defines success as: to gain wealth or fame. Early American leaders held a puritanical belief that success was a sign of God's favor. Ben Franklin wrote that "the pursuit of wealth was virtuous and would lead to success." Andrew Carnegie believed in the pursuit of success and the making of money much like Franklin, but added the dimension of making more money for the public good- "It becomes the duty of the millionaire to increase his revenues, the more he makes, the more the public gets."

Get Your Priorities Straight!
What are your priorities today? You may have a task list, you may have meetings lined up, but what are your real priorities? Lately, I have been amazed at the answers I get when I query executives about their priorities. Many utter a reference to "objectives" that sounds good, but soon they discover that their answers do not clarify what their priorities are that day. They often are not clear on what actions they need to focus on today that will lead to success tomorrow.
