    Do You See Through the Lens of Process?

    When things go wrong at work, what do we tend to do? Blame someone. That’s what the bad leader does, anyway. The good leader asks, “What’s going on here that allowed failure to happen?

    Macaroni & Cheese: A Metaphor for Business

    Ever made macaroni and cheese? You know a good recipe helps. And using that recipe as a foundation, but exercising creativity on top of it, is the key to success.

You can’t eradicate it, since it exists for a critical purpose – self-protection.

    How Accountable Are You? (2 of 2)

    In the 2nd of two parts, Jim & Steve lay out "The Contract" – their model that defines what to pay attention to in order to increase accountability in your team or organization.

    How Accountable Are You? (1 of 2)

    Accountability. Getting done what you say you’re going to do. To truly live up to your potential, you have to maximize your accountability. But how? It’s a process. It can be taught.
