The fine art of listening: The most neglected skill of professional development
Recently two very different people asked me similar questions. One came from the new owner of a golf course, of all things – a semi-private course with all the extras, including two restaurants and a pro shop. The other came from a dear nephew who, for just a couple of weeks has been in a new and very senior position with a huge global corporation.
Our thoughts create results: Is your EGO helping or hindering your success?
What we think about we bring about. Understanding how our thoughts create results is an important skill for business people to learn – as everything first gets manifested in the mind and then becomes reality. This is our EGO at work, which is similar to a database in a computer.
Improve speed to market with high-tech products: Iterate quickly and frequently
In today's fast-paced world, it has become increasingly difficult for technology companies to be the first to bring a new product to market. Global competition is fierce, and the rapid pace of technology change forces companies to continuously innovate, just to keep up.

OneJet brings innovative new airline business model to Milwaukee
An innovative new commercial airline is getting its start in Milwaukee.
Cambridge, Mass.-based OneJet launched service in April between Indianapolis and Milwaukee, and earlier this month began service between Milwaukee and Pittsburgh.
Passenger loads have been steadily increasing on the flights between Indianapolis and Milwaukee, said OneJet chief executive officer Matthew Maguire.
“So far, it's been great,” he said.
