Attractive Balloon Blimps Can Boost Your Ads
Balloon blimp is better than conventional billboard as a method of advertising. The great advantage is its visual impact even for several miles because it can be mobilized in places like real blimps being noted for as an airship. It is basically lightweight, inflatable, reusable and transportable.The concept of advertising using balloon blimps is very popular even up to now, especially for exposed promotions outdoors. Large companies like Goodyear, Fujifilm, Budweiser, and Metlife are known to have used blimps for the purpose.Other than advertising, they use the blimps to take aerial shots of special events. While recalling some serious use of real

Leadership is a lost art especially when it comes to leading organizational change. Go on Amazon and there are a ton of books written about leadership. I could write one maybe ‘Everything I know about leadership I learned in the Marine Corps in Vietnam’. It’s true! And nothing changes faster than the battlefield. But leaders today don’t get it. They think leadership is a position. I’m in charge so you follow. It’s not happening, especially during times of change. I’ve learned a few things that have worked and a few that don’t in my thirty plus years leading people. The one thing I know for sure is that you must engage the ‘whole’ person. Each one of us brings three things to the party, our hands, our head and our heart. Let me explain.

For starters, each one of us brings our hands; that is our skills to the job. If we work at McDonalds they have pretty much idiot proofed their processes and the skill required is to show up. If you’re a builder you hire people with carpentry skills, a trucker and you hire truck driver skills and so on. For us in Vietnam, as a Marine sniper, it was our shooting skills. Many leaders and organizations don’t get this at all. During times of change understanding true leadership is important. You need the skills of your people, that’s for sure, but oftentimes you make changes that render the current skills useless.

The next part of the person a leader must engage is the head. The head represents a person’s intellect; their engagement to think and problem solve and bring more to the job than just skills. When I worked at Compaq Computer in the mid-nineties they hired a lot of intellectual people who brought their heads to work because that is the business we were in. Engaging t

Nerve of Steel
L.N. Mittal has an abundant appetite for acquiring steel firms. From Kazakhstan to Romania, from Indonesia to the US, the Indian-born takeover tycoon’s Mittal Steel has gobbled up steel plants and added them to his expanding empire. But not even his most ardent admirers bet on the success of his bid for Europe’s biggest steel maker Arcelor S.A.Except perhaps Mittal himself. Luxembourg-based Arcelor had tried everything to fend off the metal maven. At first there was shock and confusion in the European ranks as the French, who hold stake in the company, told Mittal that his bid had no chance. Luxembourg politicians said they would pass legislation to make his b

Take Everything You Think You Know About Career Management And Throw It Out The Window
Really, throw it out the window.The workplace today is nothing like it was ten years ago and there is no going back. The world of our parents, a world where employers concerned themselves with the long term; or even the overall moral of their employees - that is gone. A world where one can expect to stay with a company for twenty plus years, retire with a modest pension and health care is non existant.The reality is far harsher.Most CEOs do not see past the next fiscal report to Wall Street, or the short term politics of the board of directors. While small businesses are being developed to be sold. Most of you reading this will go through a do

Career Choices for Consulting Super Stars
The consulting world has changed dramatically over the last 20 years and with it have the career options open to the best consultants.In the 1980s and early 1990s, the brightest consultants joined one of a handful of elite strategy firms. They stayed loyal to the firm, were sponsored to do an MBA at an Ivy league business school, and if they stuck at it and made the grade, they would be rewarded handsomely by being promoted to Partner.Then in the late 1990s, dotcom mania struck. Many of the best consultants failed to return after their MBA or left the firm to join hi-tech start-ups, hoping to build and float companies with new paradigm business models.

and so on. For us in Vietnam, as a Marine sniper, it was our shooting skills. Many leaders and organizations don’t get this at all. During times of change understanding true leadership is important. You need the skills of your people, that’s for sure, but oftentimes you make changes that render the current skills useless.

Akron, OH; Downtown Office Space Rebounding
In Akron, OH we met with Marcel van den Bosch, Economic Research Coordinator in downtown. While working in conjunction with the Chamber of Commerce in the Greater Akron area he said that things were much better than anticipated. Goodyear being the biggest anchor corporation in the Akron area, with an incredible history has been quite strong.The lay-offs in Akron came during the last recession hit hard but it has completely rebounded. About half way thru the recession most of the buildings downtown were only 8% unoccupied which was better than any of the larger cities such as Seattle, Denver, LA, SF, Miami, Dallas, Houston, NYC or Boston.Industrial space

e person a leader must engage is the head. The head represents a person’s intellect; their engagement to think and problem solve and bring more to the job than just skills. When I worked at Compaq Computer in the mid-nineties they hired a lot of intellectual people who brought their heads to work because that is the business we were in. Engaging the head is of the utmost importance during times of change. You need all the help we can get. But as leaders, do we engage their heads in their work or allow them to just be involved to the minimum? It’s a choice but during times of change especially it will make all the difference.

The third and most important element a leader can engage is a person’s heart, their passion. This can’t be bought, it must be led. In the early days of Compaq, or any start up for that matter, the hearts of the people are engaged from the excitement of the start up. Great leaders keep the engagement of the hearts because of their leadership, not because of the start up. But during times of change you tend to lose their hearts, their passion because everything is different. Be aware … this is a big deal.

During the Vietnam War came the world’s first massive use of helicopters. With the advent of the helicopter came leaders who now commanded from above instead of on the ground. The fact that your commander was in a chopper and not hooking it out next to you brought about a lot of distrust and anger, resentment over the fact that your leader didn’t know the same thing you knew about the battle. They often commanded our hands and demanded our heads but were far from our hearts.

Yet we had one Colonel, his name was Masterpool, who we would do anything for. Why? Because Masterpool t
