Businesses are entities that are designed to sell products or services. While data and administrative guidelines might regulate their processes, their mission remains the same. Businesses need to offer a people-centric view of the market. Whether they focus on their employees or their customers, companies can’t afford to ignore that people are their most precious assets. As a result, creating a company that puts people first is a no-brainer.

Do you want to stand out or be an also-ran? The choice is yours. It was a cold wintery day of December 2012 when something inside me changed as a leader. I was traveling to New York to deliver a session that came unexpectedly just before the holiday season.
Here’s a challenge for you. Tomorrow, ask your staff to describe your company strategy. Could they do this quickly and accurately? If the answer’s yes, congratulations! You’ve nailed one of the Rockefeller Habits, meaning you’re more likely to achieve the growth you crave. If the answer’s no, you’re not alone. Many of the businesses I coach are vague about their direction of travel and this communicates itself to staff.
Traditional thinking would have you believe you need a title to be considered a leader. Conventional thinking is wrong. A title doesn't make a leader; your actions do.
The Internet has become integral to our lives. It is said that every second person on this planet is online and has an internet account and this number is growing. Something that was unthinkable two decades back, is yet again unthinkable but in different contexts. Then you could not imagine how can life be dependent on mobiles and now you can’t imagine life without them.
