Didn’t graduate from Yale or Harvard? No problem: just fake it on your resume or that’s what some people think. According to InfoLink, 14% of job applicants lied on resumes about their education last year.David Edmondson, C.E.O. of RadioShack resigned after he was caught lying about college degrees. Maybe it didn’t pay off for Edmondson, but James Frey might say, despite the national embarrassment and Oprah’s anger, it has paid off to lie and fabricate. His book, “A Million Little Pieces” has been number two on the New York Times best seller list for over half a
I confess, I do quote the 80-20 rule like it is divinely ordained. Called by whatever name, the 80-20 rule reminds us that the relationship between input and output is not balanced. The rule states that a small number of causes is responsible for a large percentage of the effect, in a ratio of about 80-20. For example, it could be said that 80 percent of your profits come from 20 percent of your customers or 80 percent of your budget comes from 20 percent of the items and so forth.
The 80-20 rule is definitely biblical in its origins. It’s my mantra. I start all my training sessions with a simple question. Although there are Ten Commandments, which ones do you think generate most of our sins? “Do not covet… ” is obviously No. 1. The group usually argues over No. 2. Lately “Honor thy father and mother” has been the runner-up. (I guess with the increase in life expectancy, it has become much more difficult to follow this commandment.) We have a few laughs, and I make my point. Each commandment does not generate an equal amount of sins. “Do not covet” and at least one more could well make up 80 percent of our daily transgressions.

Do you practice strategic thinking in your marketing efforts? Do you develop client-retention strategies, in addition to strategies to gain new clients? If you answered NO to these questions, you may want to rethink the way you are doing your marketing. My experience indicates that a strategic approach to client retention is underutilized and therefore a great deal of energy, time, talent and money is being wasted in marketing efforts seeking new clients and ignoring or giving “second rate” efforts to retaining existing clients.Let me share an example of the drama

INTRODUCTIONEconomists like to use the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) as an indicator for how well a country is doing. In order to make predictions regarding the future of countries and the industries that support the country it is essential to be able to evaluate just what makes the GDP vary so dramatically over time and across countries.Over the past 130 years the output of countries has dramatically improved in a good portion of the world. Some countries have improved much better than others. Many studies have been done to determine what the factors ar

Success in today's global, interconnected economy springs from the fast and efficient exchange of information. Sustainable competitive advantage is no longer rooted in physical assets and financial capital, but in effective channeling of intellectual capital. The market value of a commercial enterprise is derived not only from its physical and financial assets, but also from the intangible assets it creates through knowledge-based activities.These intangible assets include intellectual property, such as patents and copyrights, as well as the more nebulous assets suc
My audience loves the story. True, they would initially argue that the 80-20 rule does not apply to them. Their businesses are unique and such sweeping rules could not include them. However, I show them data and a lot of anecdotal evidence. I can be very persuasive. Finally they succumb and buy my book, training tapes, and subscribe to my Web site in order to follow my latest advice.
I reread the letter. I’m flabbergasted. I call my best customers, but they won’t talk to me. They refer all my calls to their attorneys. My attorney warns me that this is not a frivolous lawsuit. I need to have a strong defense. We live in times when consultants are being sued by their clients for a lack of ethics, conflicts of interests, and down right plain stupidity. Consultants are paying hefty fines, even getting jail time.
I started working on my defense at the library. I researched the great scientific discoveries of the Renaissance. I believed that the 80-20 rule could be found in the footnotes of Sir Isaac Newton’s manuscripts on the universal laws of gravitation. I was wrong.
An alternative, for sure, would be Charles Darwin’s law of the survival of the fittest. The 80-20 breakdown seemed like a natural outgrowth of his studies of competition, genetic mutation, and the animals of the Galapagos Islands. Again no luck. I was starting to worry.
I did find some stuff on an Italian economist of the late 19th century, Vilfredo Pareto. He developed “Pareto’s Law” which he presented as: log N = log A + m logX. Whe
