As a proud member of the “nerd culture,” I find it is my duty to love all things Star Wars. I’m talking about the ’70s and ’80s era (we can pretend the prequels never happened). There are a lot of things to appreciate about the films themselves, but what I really like about Star Wars is the fact that there is something in it for everyone. There is a strong-willed princess, a handsome swashbuckling anti-hero, the hero farm boy, and of course a talking metal trash can. Ok, so that last one is kinda hard to relate to, but you can see what I’m getting at. So, I thought it might be fun to try and relate Star Wars to the business world and see what kind of wit and wisdom we can come up with.

December 16, 2011Train to Save Time and Money
September 12, 2011
You probably agree with the statement “Time is money.” Yet many times when it comes to our people we waste time AND money by shortchanging their training. A manager once said to me “We don’t have time to train!” I took this discussion as an opportunity to help the manager see that training our people is a critical investment we must make to SAVE time and money.
