Extreme Makeover - Business Edition

I’ll admit it… I cry like a school girl when Ty yells “Move that bus!”  It gets me every time when I watch the pure joy experienced by a family seeing their re-made home for the first time.  The transformation is always shocking, and far more complete than the deserving family could ever imagine. There are times in business when we need a makeover as well.  As I work with businesses of all sizes, I often see the results of many years of organizational neglect.  Yes, organizational practices…See More

If it weren’t for all of us imperfect human beings, our organizations would run far more smoothly and effectively.The impact of people issues is felt no more strongly than in the case of a major change such as a merger or acquisition. Even in stable organizational settings,people issues can wreak havoc on strategy formation and execution. Mix in…See More
