As summer winds down, it appears that everyone's attention-span is a little wayward. We are gauging this because the most shared/retweeted/favorited articles this week covered a wide spectrum from food, to TV, to football...Perhaps we all need a little more structure? Hate to say it, but, specifically, maybe we all need the structure that autumn brings? Just a thought.
1) Some of our community are concerned about a leadership "crisis" insomuch that one-third of companies surveyed don't regard coaching or leadership development as a business priority. Overall, this may be because businesses don't know where to find the data that leadership development creates a positive impact on the bottom-line. If you want to know more about this, please contact Dave Shapiro to discuss the benefits to executive coaching and how Excell can help your business.
2) The "Altruistic Leadership" buzz phrase caught on in this piece from Forbes about Greystone Bakery, in Yonkers, NY. The owner attributes the business growth to the fact that the bakery "doesn't hire people to make cakes. It makes cakes to hire people." Pretty inspired. Make sure you read their story.
3) We have a lot of local pride here in the Pacific Northwest! When the University of Puget Sound was deemed by Forbes to have one of the Top 20 colleges in the country for developing entrepreneurs, we all wanted the world to know. Congrats to the Loggers!
4) In the world of entertainment: Jon Stewart's leadership style is highly regarded. Meanwhile, across town, some argue that New York Jets' Quarterback, Geno Smith, got punched in the face by a teammate because his leadership is not...so...highly...regarded. (Thankfully, some are placing blame on the guy who actually punched Geno.)
