CEOs Who Blog

One sure sign blogging is not just a fad: some of the CEOs that have taken it up are really good at it.  It's probably not surprising that Richard Edelman, chief of the PR firm bearing his family's name, is good at it because, well, that's his busin...

One of my long term favourite expressions is "set a pace you can maintain forever but sense of urgency wins". Sense of urgency is very much tied to Time Management. People and companies with a sense of urgency win. Its that simple.Sense of urgency has been one of my secret tricks over the years. Now, John Kotter has written...

In 9th grade, my social studies teacher taught me that the greatest marketing slogan ever were the words "rinse and repeat " that they put on shampoo bottles. There is absolutely no reason to wash your hair twice, but if anyone does, they are that much closer to buying another bottle.A simple, and maybe as effective option...
