The Drucker Memo
Everyone in your company has someone to manage them, except CEOs and many at the C-Level. You don’t get to, and stay at, this level unless you can manage yourself. Daniel Pink (author of “To Sell is Human” and “The Power of Regret”) reminds us of a powerful method suggested by the late, great management writer Peter Drucker that […]
Ozempic for the C-Suite
In his “No Mercy, No Malice” blog, entrepreneur and NYU Professor Scott Galloway looks at two innovations of the post-Covid era that promise to have profound effects on how we live: Ozempic and Artificial Intelligence. Dr. Gallow ingeniously uses the impact of Ozempic (aka GLP-1 drugs) to explain how AI is already impacting how CEOs are thinking […]

Demographics is about people and only people create markets. What does the information in this overview portend for the markets […]
Love at Work
Valentine’s day was last Wednesday and several of my favorite resources had some interesting things to share about love and work. Vistage’s premier employment law speaker, Hunter Lott, offers some advice on managing the perennial challenge of romance in the workplace. Suzanne Lucas (aka “The Evil HR Lady) recaps some research on the occupations most and least […]
From Small to Tall
And speaking of every large business once being a small business…More research is done on small businesses than large, but some faculty at Northwest’s Kellogg School have produced some insights that leaders of Small to Medium Business (SMBs) may find helpful. Check out “Take 5: What Does It Take to Make a Small Business Work.”
Abraham Lincoln, CEO
It’s hard to think about President’s day without thinking about Abraham Lincoln who led the country during the existential crisis of the Civil War. Texas Vistage Chair Greg Bustin is our community’s leading source of business history and leadership lore. In a short blog post he shares a number of vignettes of situations that confronted Mr. […]
