Afraid to Innovate or Don’t Know How? Problem-solving Skills Pay by Dawn Lennon - Sep, 2011 "Innovativeness” is one of those performance appraisal categories that often befuddle supervisors and employees. We often don’t know how the term actually applies to us. After all, we’re just doing our jobs.

Out of Work? Hire Yourself. by Dawn Lennon - Sep, 2011 You think you can’t. I say you can. Don’t over-think it, make it too big, or get in your own way. Just try it. Plug the gap.

Otherwise from language we descend to chatter, from chatter to babble and from babble to confusion." - Rene Daumal When people ask you what you do for a living, what is it that you tell them?

Be a Rising Star: 6 Types of Savvy For High Potential Leaders by Suzanne Bates - Sep, 2011 Over the years as our team has coached C-suite leaders, we've noticed that the succession planning process really hasn't changed.
