The first guest in the Management Tips Podcast Series is Phil Gerbyshak. You can tune in here.

Listening to Alastair Darling's speech telling us that we are in for a recession made me wonder about the wisdom of honesty in a political system where 'the other sides' are unlikely to applaud him for being candid, hionest, truthful etc.

 Can / Should leaders be entirely truthful in situations where it is almost certainly career limiting?

Answers are often before our very eyes or in front of our noses - particularly if we read the American Heritage Dictionary!

Explore with me how some of the multitude of definitions for the word "leader" actually serve as a performance standard for leadership.

The stock market gyrates with unpredictable and heartburning results. Icons of solid companies become straw figures before balance sheets. Children are abducted from their front yards and networks of terrorists spiral throughout the world. Religious institutions cast shadows of duplicity while El Nino brings strange fish to the California coasts and out-of-control fires head toward ancient Sequoias.

A new feature is being added to the Joe and Wanda - On Management Blog - a podcast series entitled, Management Tips. Each program Nick McCormick will interview a distinguished guest who will provide a piece of management and/or leadership advice to help management practitioners improve.

We’ve been getting the benefit of Joe and Wanda’s advice for quite some time. Now we’re widening the number of contributors to further enhance the learning experience.
