Leadership in Action ... Undercover Boss!

By Monique - 4/26/2010 One of my new favorite shows, Undercover Boss, provides those perfectly edited moments of profound 'leadership in action,' (or lack thereof!). Obviously I love watching it from a 'leadership' perspective, and also appreciate learning more about the culture/personality of the companies being highlighted (great marketing tool!), and, as usual, CBS captures that emotional element which draws me in!

Spending time with our leaders of tomorrow!

By Monique - 3/8/2010 When was the last time you spent time sharing your story and the ‘why’ behind how you became who you are with someone younger than you? We need to take the time and make the time to develop, mentor, and coach our future leaders!

Wellness and Disease Management Programs Can Reduce Health Care Costs

By Monique - 3/8/2010 Carol McPhillips-Tangum is our guest blogger this week!

Carol is an expert in health improvement and disease management programs and provides this week’s blog post. Enjoy!

Working Together for Success ... Lessons from the Closing Ceremony

By Monique - 3/2/2010 “Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is success.” Henry Ford said this. I love this quote because of the vision it inspires in me.

There are so many examples of this, but having just watched the closing ceremonies this past Sunday, I will use the 2010 Winter Olympics as my example.
