Successful Marketing for Introverts
By:
In my experience I have seen many levels of introvert and extrovert. Let me share some of my own.
* Invite me to a party -- I'd rather have a root canal
* Have me speak about something I'm passionate about in front of a group of people -- I shine.
* Put me in a "casual" networking group -- root canal please.
* Put me in a "structured" networking group where I can ask for what I need and help others at the same time -- I'm in heaven.

Want to be a Leader? Take Accountability Now
By:
Leadership is ordinary people doing things which other ordinary people follow. One of the characteristics that most people will readily follow is the taking of accountability. I do not mean the sham accountability taken by uttering the words, "I'm accountable" and then firing other people after much has gone wrong.
I mean the accountability that starts at the beginning, by getting involved in the decision making process. By getting involved in the monitoring process to see what are the consequences of decisions. By getting involved in the process to review the impact of decisions; being able to say, "I got it wrong" when it patently is so.
