5 Learning Goals: The QUEST for Growth
I’ve worked with successful sales people who are focused, goal-driven, and results-oriented. And occasionally I’ve worked with extraordinarily successful sales people who outshine all others.

From Leader to Effective Leader
To be an effective leader, one must engage in personal and professional development, improving conscious competence, self-awareness, other-relatedness, and growing in ways that are transformative, not just transactional. By that I mean that it’s just as important to evolve one’s character and consciousness, not just improve leadership competencies. We expect our leaders to be wise […]

4 Promises of Highly Effective Leaders
How do you define effective leaders? I’ve been thinking a lot about what makes a leader effective. I suppose you could look to the success of the business; a leader could be deemed effective if the company is a success.
