Productivity starts with doing the right things.

Vision without execution is like a plane without wings, or Dumbo without ears, it just won't fly.

Social media can work to a CEO's advantage. Someone with a great product in a small town in the middle of nowhere can compete in the world marketplace. In 1962, Sam Walton changed the face of retailing with Wal-Mart. As we speak, Amazon is again changing the face of retail with on-line buying.

Productivity starts with doing the right things.

Organizational culture begins in HR. This means to hire for attitude and train for skill.

Innovate, don't imitate. Set out to create a culture that is right for your organization, then work at making it happen.

Knowledge is the understanding of what, how and why we need to do something. Skill is applying that knowledge in a practical situation. Attitude is the desire to transform our knowledge into skills and ultimately into habits.
