A dear friend, teacher, mentor, and leader has died. Red Scott's legacy will live on for many generations to come. Red, like Pat Hyndman, gave all though their lives and will continue to give for many generations by the legacy they have left behind. Red was the consumate: green and growing. Always learning. Always having a story to put it in a way that would get the point across and yet having Texas humor. His message to us came in December: Sent: 12/6/2012 2:04:10 P.M. Eastern Standard Time

Succession management is a forward-thinking process whereby all the succession planning efforts are administered and measured while allowing for adjustments that ensure ongoing alignment with achieving strategic outcomes. When a leader wants to fortify her human capital management initiatives and develop high performers who will ensure goal achievement, she develops a succession plan and then executes and manages this plan for success! - See more at: http://blog.vistage.com/business-strategy-and-management/succession-management-a-model-that-helps-recruit-and-retain-high-performers/#sthash.kYOSiV40.dpuf

The quote of John Wooden says it: “True success is peace of mind which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you did your best to become the best you are capable of becoming.”
"In all the world, there is no human e xperience that can compare to the exercise of the deeply-developed competencies required for the pursuit of a great and worthy achievement" In the final paragraphs of the book he adds: if you succeed, be humble. Others comspired with you to make it happen. You were blessed. If you did not succeed, go backa nd fix the only things over which you have control: how you think, who you are, and how you do what you do. And make all of the tools required an integral part of who you are.

Dave Logan, co-author of Tribal Leadership, speaks of crucible moments when very difficult circumstances call forth our greatness and, in many ways, our true selves. Great leaders have these crucible moments (indeed we all do) and the author of this article identifies several of them while also presenting questions for you to answer as you seek out your special gifts, your greatness. It is from this knowledge and utilization of our special gifts, when woven together with those of our colleagues, that great work cultures evolve.

"What’s the first thing you do when meeting someone new? You ask them questions to unveil their story: Where are you from? What kind of work do you do? Do you have children? Do you come here often? Questioning a stranger is more than a polite way to pass time — it’s the core of trying to connect. Stories make life interesting and give people a way to connect. People crave them, which creates a big opportunity for brand storytelling."

Did you know that 90% of all organizations use content in their marketing efforts?

To learn more about what content marketing is, how it can benefit your organization and how to get started using this technique to promote your company, check out the following infographic from Demand Metric "A Guide to Marketing Genius: Content Marketing".

This is one of the most powerful infographics that I have seen that makes the case for content. Scroll down to find out more about the power of well written articles.
This is an open secret that quality online and even print publications have known for many years - that classical advertising only works up to a point. Most consumers have reached a mental staturation level when it comes to print advertising.
Articles and well crafted, key message rich (not just SEO) content is capable of engaging the reader and building interest and brand loyalty, as well as promoting a call to action where appropriate.
They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Perhaps, but combine an interesting infographic or other type of image with captivating copy and you have a powerful instrument of engagement (and the distinct possibility of sharing across the social media landscape).
Nuff said.
