in Enterprise 2.0


Last week I attended a fascinating event in Manhattan called “The Trust Summit Breakfast”.  It featured two pairs of authors who collaborated on two business books on the topic of Trust.  Specifically: Charles H Green and David Maister, co-authors of The Trusted Advisor (with Rob Galford). And Chris Brogan and Julien Smith, co-authors of Trust Agents.  Both are considered must-read books.  I [...]

in Enterprise 2.0


Let me share and comment on an excerpt from the just published  Harvard Business Review article: Ten Fatal Flaws That Derail Leaders. Authors Jack Zenger and Joseph Folkman examined the performance reviews of business leaders who were either fired or considered ineffective.  They found many common characteristics, including these: Lack of energy and enthusiasm.
