Leadership Caffeine™ Podcast #12: David Lapin on Lead by Greatness

David Lapin, author of: "Lead by Greatness-How Character Can Power Your Success," is not only fascinating, he's in a league of his own with a world-view that encompasses his life in South Africa, his Rabbinical studies and his active and present life as a successful strategy consultant. While he doesn't necessarily trumpet that remarkable experience, in my opinion, it is part of what makes his book unique on both a personal and a professional level.

3 Key Strategy Questions to Ask Your Teams Regularly

In my experience, the management teams that lead the best performing businesses are those that incorporate at least three key strategic questions into almost every operational and status discussion. The gross majority of the dialogue in an organization is about How, and Who and When and the important What and Why issues are left for strategy meetings and other “high-level” discussions. While understandable in the hectic pace of the workday, the shortage of these important What and Why discussions reinforces a dangerous form of operational myopia, where the underlying and unspoken assumption is: If we simply get this done, we’ll be better off as a firm

Art’s Weekly Leadership Message: Get Engaged to Help Your Project Teams Succeed

While the list of things that can go horribly wrong on project teams is long, these 5 consistently rise to the top of the lament list.

Art’s Weekly Leadership Message: Always Go Beyond the Bare Minimum

Recognize that the most difficult points in our leadership lives are profound moments of truth that define us going forward. We either face them, embrace them and grow stronger from them, or we let them beat us. A half-measure in the face of a profound moral or ethical call is failure of the highest order.
