Interview with Laura Macleod of From the Inside Out Project

Leadership Caffeine™ Podcast-Getting Ahead with Joel Garfinkle

Unfortunately, good work alone is not always enough to stand-out from the crowd. In a noisy, competitive workplace, where others choose us for big projects and new opportunities, finding a way to stand-out...while not becoming one of those aforementioned obnoxious characters, is a fact of life. Joel Garfinkle, a leading executive coach, speaker and author, offers some excellent and practical guidance on this important but awkward topic in his latest book, Getting Ahead-Three Steps to Take Your Career to the Next Level.

Leadership Caffeine™ Podcast: Brook Manville on Judgment Calls

Run a literature search on decision-making, and you'll find a broad range of content, much of it focused on the cognitive issues and traps surrounding the process, and the balance focused on the disasters so widely dissected in our culture. For a fresh and refreshing view, enter Tom Davenport and Brook Manville with their book, Judgment Calls-12 Stories of Big Decisions and the Teams that Got Them Right.

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.
