		<description><![CDATA[There is a great deal of talk about why the U.S. stimulus has not worked. Obama’s mistake was being too cautious in fearful times, writes columnist Martin Wolf in yesterday’s Financial Times. Wolf, who wanted a much bigger stimulus, glosses over an observation he made on February 4, 2009: “Instead of an overwhelming fiscal stimulus, what is emerging is too small, too wasteful and too ill-focused.”]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The economy is in the doldrums. The business media is focused on economic growth and why it hasn’t happened. Clearly, to add jobs, we need robust growth in businesses of all sizes, and dynamic growth starts with agile leaders who want to break away from BAU, business as usual. In this spirit, I went to Tempe, Arizona where it was 105 degrees, to learn how to be a Whale Hunter - a proven way to search and land the big deals that grow companies, their reputations and revenues.]]></description>

Honing diverse opinions into a coherent, executable strategy takes a supportive culture, employees with a specific set of skills, and leaders who inspire the best from people.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A post on BNET by Jo Owens, July 26 lays out the 7 qualities you don’t learn from the leadership gurus. At and near the top of the list are sleeping on planes, working in vehicles, dieting, and working the politics. Yet there are other things that are far more important to success. Let me propose an alternative list, starting with being creative.

1.  Teach yourself to be creative. Perhaps creativity is in a person’s DNA, but I truly believe this is something that is learned and nurtured.

		<description><![CDATA[What’s the biggest shortcoming a leader can have? My vote is compromised integrity. If an executive wants to enjoy continuing credibility in his or her position, he needs to pursue the truth and confront the truth in everything he does. Dishonesty, misrepresentation, and cherry picking the facts to make an argument are all unacceptable conduct. Too often, leaders stretch or alter the truth to achieve a bigger goal. At the end of the day, perhaps every day, they are Machiavellian.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Convention says that to transform the business culture, start with a spate of town hall meetings, dinners with staff, elaborate family outings, and a blitz of internal PR. There is a more realistic view. Business leaders who achieve dynamic growth never underestimate the power of culture on the business, or the ability of culture to derail the company’s ambitious plans. These leaders know that culture is greatly influenced by their own actions, words, strategies and programs.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Are you suffering from the outsider complex, a chronic complaint of HR and other staff functions, such as IT, Finance or Marketing? Perhaps you are technically proficient, but relegated to a second-tier status in your business. You aim to be a business partner, but operate on the fringes of the business, marching in lock-step with those in power. So, what’s the magical ingredient that makes someone a trusted insider? And what can you do to transform your role?

		<description><![CDATA[Political pundits have focused much attention lately on the divergent opinions of the Obama Afghanistan policy-setting team. For business leaders, this debate highlights a management challenge. While there are factual differences between this foreign policy situation and those that corporate executives confront, the fundamental question remains the same: how to harness divergent points of view to create a coherent, executable strategy. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[CNN host Jack Cafferty asked his audience, “Do you feel as patriotic as you used to.” The reactions reflect the frustrations of a nation that loves America and demands effective leadership. In a crisis environment, the rough edges of our system gnaw at the public's sensibilities. At the heart of this unrest is a simple fact: we want strong leaders; instead, we have politicians.
