The Rudolph Factor..?
Came across this little blog on twitter recently. And since I'm hoping Santa will bring me a "source of cash" in the form of a high-growth leadership opportunity this Christmas, I thought i'd share it. Only a small percentage of people...

A job - it's tough and it stinks..!
But unfortunately somebody's got to do it... If you live in an old old house, and don't tend to it for the best part of 8-months - then you've got some catching up to do when you finally do get round to it. So since today has been my first...

My name is Lester Burnam....
One of my favourite movies - American Beauty. And in a strange way it served as a catalyst for change in my professional life. But I won't bore you with that... Whether you are 25 and looking at the future or 42, like Lester and contemplating change...

The journey - 365 days in!

One word - "WOW"

Tony Soprano - Entrepreneurial Leader?
I absolutely love it when people say...."Hey, I'm a leader" or "I exhibit real leadership qualities" or "I've transformed myself into a leader" It makes me chuckle slightly as everybody and their granny wants to be...

Back to School
By the end of our time at Babson I was very much ready to get out and do something real, but now we're back in the classroom in Stirling I find myself raring to go again. The Babson faculty who have flown over to join us have done a great job of getting...

Leaving again!
It's been great to be home. The week has been a whirlwind of visiting friends, catching up on little jobs around the house, getting the car back on the road (brakes and rear wiper siezed) and generally getting back into home life. It helps that this...

Full Fat or Semi-Skimmed?
