With great people you can accomplish anything.

Without great people you will be frustrated, troubled and face roadblocks that could take you down.

Look no further than Wall Street to see the impact of people making decisions for themselves, rather than for the good of their companies or their people.

Do you have great people in your key spots? If not, why not? What are you doing about it? Do you have a culture that allows great people to flourish?

A critical element in finding good people is knowing your culture. You can find great talent that will not fit your culture and they will bomb. You can also find great talent that will be a fit for your culture and you will have a Super Star in the making.

Culture is critical. Let’s talk about yours and whether it’s helping or hurting your people. Contact Leadership Advisory today to talk about your people.

It isn’t. It hasn’t yet. And while the current business climate is challenging, it will get better – tomorrow, next quarter or next year. If this business cycle has caught you off-guard and you’re feeling extreme pain from declining revenues and the high cost of business, then you might want to look at a process that will help you get back in the game.

Strategic Planning is a tool that leaders use to give guidance to getting through times like. It’s a way to have a plan that will help the entire organization to stay focused on on-target, rather than losing momentum due to organizational angst and employee anxiety.

In addition, Scenario Planning helps you strategize about various market situations and gives you the tools to have multiple plans for dealing with sudden customer changes and market chaos.

The good news is that there’s a way out of this mess. Contact me and let’s discuss your Strategic Plan. Let’s see if you have taken into consideration the current realities. And, just as importantly, are you prepared to take advantage of the opportunities that exist and are being created. If you don’t have a plan, we can help you with that, too.

In this session you will learn the following:

- Six Essential Leadership Traits and why you won’t survive in hard times without them,
- The Critical Actions You need to take to survive,
- Focal Points for surviving and thriving,
- Revenue Considerations and how to maximize your earnings,
- How to keep a clear vision for the future.

This teleconference will give you additional tools you need to do more than survive. You can learn how to thrive in tough times. Chivinski brings his experience of surviving several business cycles to help everyone in this two-part series. We’re glad you’re joining us.

“Make Your People Great”

Thursday, February 26th, 2009 11:00 – 11:45 a.m. EST

I find that many companies struggle when it comes to strategic planning…don’t like the process or find that it’s not realistic enough or can’t get past the daily routine into the strategic arena…many times they’re right.

Jack Welch is attributed with the comment that if he got off the plane and discovered that he had left their strategic plan on the plane, he wouldn’t be worried because nobody else could implement their plan like GE could.

Welch was great at strategy and great at finding people to execute well.

This blog is about great leadership, great planning, great people and great execution.  I hope you’ll join me for the journey.
