                                            Question: I'm an accountant. I recently joined the board of directors of an Alaska nonprofit. The organization recruited me for the board to help straighten out the organization's finances....

Before I moved here, several employers expressed strong interest in hiring...                                    
                                        
                                     
                                                                                        
                                                                           
                                            Unilateralism means doing things alone. It means not working with the team. It means not asking for help. It means running the whole race, from start to finish, all...                                    
                                        
                                     
                                                                                        
                                                                           
                                            A company is the sum total of its people and its culture. This is why it is impossible to separate the two without affecting both entities. Similarly, it is important...                                    
                                        
                                     
                                                                                        
                                                                           
                                            She's poison and a snake. He's a royal pain. She, or he, pushes every one of your buttons.  While nice people outnumber nasty people, nearly every good-sized organization employs...

                                            I love people and business.  You probably realize this, based on the fact that I formed a consulting firm to help build manufacturing performance using a blended data-driven and people-focused approach. ...                                    
                                        
                                     
                                                                                        
                                                                           
                                            Google has become a powerful example in driving innovation by providing employees with time to work on whatever they want on a regular basis.  I read a great article about this on...
