Do you have a Succession Plan?

You may well think this post doesn't really apply to you -- after all, aren't Succession Plans those things big companies have that lay out how they should develop their key internal people? Or they are those formal plans that business owners have ... [Continue Reading]

My greatest teacher

Many years ago when my children were young, they used to do various things that made me pretty angry in the moment. I realized at the time that they weren't doing anything different that most young kids did, but I would still get angry -- shoes not ... [Continue Reading]
