One of the most important things you can work on today is figuring out who you (really) are, what you are passionate about, and how this should influence (and build) your personal brand and reputation. You should constantly build and nurture your personal brand – it is the one thing that will allow you to make the jump from one pursuit to the next.

An unfortunate part of business is dealing with account receivable (A/R) disputes.  In any business, getting paid is the bottom line. The best strategy is to avoid A/R disputes, which can often be accomplished by properly identifying and addressing credit risks, and identifying and responding to problems early.  But when A/R disputes are unavoidable, you need to take steps to maximize your recovery and resolve the dispute in the most cost-effective way possible, using a legal strategy which is suitable for your situation.

Are you often faced with conflicting situations and mixed-message demands from your board, your team, key stakeholders, and the market?  Take risks to grow dramatically and protect your current stability.  Seek to maximize sales and watch the bottom line. Build future leaders and prove leadership excellence now.

Paradox thinking is “and” thinking.  It enables balanced management of interdependent conflicting objectives. Adopting an appreciation for paradox ends the practice of viewing conflicting needs separately and addressing one over the other. Organizations do not reach their potential when they habitually use that kind of either/or approach to challenges.  Their profit, morale, and ability to innovate suffer.

New excuses for inferior performance crop up just as fast as one can whack them down—reminiscent of Whack-a-Mole, a game that involved forcing individual plastic moles back into their holes by hitting them directly on the head with a mallet. This week I encountered a new breed of mole related to a hospital’s low patient satisfaction scores.

This is National Small Business Week.The celebrations, seminars and promotion are in full swing. As a Board Member of the National Small Business Association (NSBA) and Chair of the Small Business Association of Michigan’s PAC, I know how important it is to support and promote small business. There has been a lot of hype this week, so I thought it might be a good time to stop and consider the state of small business in America.
