Rule No. 1’s New Year’s predictions

Well Ladies and Gents. It’s a new year. A time when people like to look to the future. A time when we seek out predictions — whether to quell our lizard-brain fear of the unknown or out of whatever urge for entertainment makes some people read Harlequin romance novels. Of…

What is a brand?

Yet another article on leadership

Look, friend. There’s been a lot written about leadership. Like, a lot. And if you couldn’t find the wisdom you needed in any of the other books, articles, whitepapers, compendia, training courses, retreats, seminars, tweets, or podcasts, you’re almost definitely not going to find it here.

The fault is at least a little in our stars — A letter from Cassius

Dear Brutus, Hey…bud. I hope this scroll finds you well. If you’re reading this, I have shuffled off my mortal coil. With any luck, I am frolicking with the Gods. Though, to be honest, I’ve second thoughts about what we did and I’m likely destined for Hades. Shit’s getting crazy…

What gets measured gets…

Metrics. A topic near and dear to everyone’s heart. Well, maybe not so dear. I suppose businesses need metrics. If we don’t measure anything, then we’re probably left with nothing more than our subjective impressions. Which benefits a few lucky people to the detriment of everyone else. But the problem…

On humanity at work

At Rule No. 1, we talk quite a bit about humanity at work. But frankly, we haven’t explained ourselves well enough. Too often, when we say “humanity” it’s taken to mean that people should extend basic kindness and respect to each other at work. But we’re making a larger point…
