But the better question is, ‘How much are willing to spend on a lack of results?’ The classic HR joke goes as follows:  The CEO and the head of HR have a conversation… “What’s the point of training our people?” The CEO asks. “They’ll just take […]

Is Your Type A Behavior Hurting You?

It is not my place to judge. I know quite a few executives, and their Type A behavior patterns range from “high functioning” to “self-destructive.” But almost all of them have a character flaw that does more harm than good: They are harder on themselves than they are on anyone else–and harder than anyone else […]
