Tax Day for LLC’s

For my Small Business Owner friends…. friendly reminder that today (not Oct 15) is tax day for certain entities.

And this concludes my shortest blog post ever!

Be Your Best You Today,

The Omniscient Managewich

I have a question for the sandwich generation of managers, middle managers or owner managers, stuck in the middle of competing priorities and agendas:

Why is it so hard to know what someone else really wants or believes, and yet, how is it that we know others’ intentions just by looking at their body language or actions?

Paradoxical, yes?

Independence and Self-Reliance Are Myths

We in the United States value independence. It’s in our cultural dogma:

  • “I did it my way”
  • “I pulled myself up by my bootstraps” (What the heck is a bootstrap?)
  • “I stand on my own two feet”

Who among us does anything without a contribution from someone else?

Is Your Staff Sabotaging Your Opportunity for Success Right Out of the Gate?

When your company is trying to implement something different, what phrases do you hear uttered in hushed tones (and sometimes not so hushed tones) in the break room and around the smoking area?

Anything like this?  “It will never work.”  “Here we go again.”  “We’ve never gotten this right.”  “This is stupid.”

The not-so-subtle underlying message is “So why try?”

Is Performance Management Killing Performance?

“Goals without a vision are just a task list.”  ~ Ken Abrams, Top Coach Consulting

We set goals to take us somewhere greater, and without that strategic plan, we’re just chasing after to do’s on the road to nowhere.
