There are no rules cast in concrete when you wish to determine the correct selling price of a business. It is thus necessary to make use of factual assumptions rather than using undefined or emotional price decisions. Sellers might fail in being realistic as to what the financial status of the business can offer to a purchaser. In some instances, sellers price their business to high in an emotional last attempt to profit from their hard work during their period of ownership. These businesses stay on the market for lengthy periods and, in time, earn a reputation as non sellers. When, at some stage, the prices are corrected these businesses are still hard to sell because of previous over exposure at...

Many business leaders are brilliant strategists. They execute flawlessly, they differentiate their products and services and stay steps ahead of the competition. But some of these same brilliant strategists have an Achilles Heel: they can think strategically but cannot communicate strategically. When a leader has a vision for his or her company, but does not communicate it effectively, that vision might remain just an idea and never get acted upon. To effectively verbally communicate ideas so employees can execute, leaders might consider three highly effective personal communication strategies. These can be used for face-to-face and small group meetings, webinars, and even voicemail. 1. Start with...

Leadership is very personal. There isn't a right or a wrong way to do it. I've seen many styles and almost all have a place. It depends on the situation and the personalities of the leader and those being led. In general, I've observed two broad leadership styles in business and in life, one common and one not so much. The first kind of leader believes they have to protect their position and that others hold their success against them. No one is to be trusted. Respect is earned grudgingly, never given freely. They keep back information, are notorious for being passive aggressive and generally don't play well with others. Command and control are their princes. Hierarchy is their castle. This article...

Charles Darwin said "It's not the biggest and the strongest but the most adaptable that survive." Think about your team.

Several of us were standing around a table discussing the good and bad of young people in the workplace. When a member of the group complained that his young workers were not as productive as he wished and just didn't seem to be able to "get it," I suggested a technique to lead these people through mutual understanding of mission and goals and helping the younger workers learn as a method of engendering loyalty. I mentioned that, in some ways, older generations have abdicated a responsibility to teach, opting instead to change our behaviors to meet their desires. One of the members of the discussion immediately referred to my military experience saying that it was easy in the military to make people...

A leader in any field has to set an example to others, more so in business, he has to be a role model. He should inspire confidence in others. He should be cool and unflinching in a crisis.

If we can't be disciplined enough to resist a chocolate bar, how can we be disciplined enough to create the life we want? Blog entry November 18, 2006: "Have you ever wondered if what you were doing was what you were intended to be doing with your life?

There have been days lately that I have wondered some of those very same things. Oh, I know that whatever I am supposed to be doing is with and around coaching people, but it may not be in...

Different organizations, being influenced by their own set of circumstances, will necessarily differ in the way that they define leadership...

Many people assume that if someone is successful, it is because they have good leadership skills. Some people assume that if a business is successful, it is because it has good leaders.
