Teams in Transition: The Red Door
http://charltonconsultingservices.blogspot.com/2010/01/red-door.html
Tuesday, January 26, 2010. I've since learned that there are multiple meanings for a red door depending on culture, religion, and the historic period in which it's done. I've also learned that the reason this welcome sign was important to early Americans is because travel by horse and buggy was slow. A red door told a weary traveler that this was a safe place to stay for the night. So here is the irony in that for me. My house has red doors, but no guest room. As for our home, we purchased a top-of-the-l...

Teams in Transition: The Day The Chicken Crossed the Road...And Knocked On Our Front Door
http://charltonconsultingservices.blogspot.com/2013/05/the-day-chicken-crossed-roadand-knocked.html
Thursday, May 9, 2013. The Day The Chicken Crossed the Road.And Knocked On Our Front Door. Why did the chicken cross the road? Apparently to get helping finding her way home. My first post on this blog was about our red front door. Our neighbor's chicken is the first to take us up on its traditional meaning - "a safe place to stay for a weary traveler". When I opened the door, Lucky looked up at me expectantly as if to say, "So, are we just going to stand here or are you going to invite me in? She was cl...

Teams in Transition: Daniel Pink on the Skill of Influence
http://charltonconsultingservices.blogspot.com/2013/03/daniel-pink-on-skill-of-influence.html
Thursday, March 7, 2013. Daniel Pink on the Skill of Influence. Influence is a hot topic in leadership development. For C level executive, it's the ability to get support from the board, business partners, and investors. For mid to senior level leaders, it's frequently referred to as being able to "lead across the organization". When brought to an executive coach it might sound like: "I need help with influence where I don't have authority.". Or even "People don't respect me/respond to me/follow me.".

Wednesday, October 16, 2013. Right Answer, Wrong Approach. As a tenured leader in your organization, it comes as no surprise that you have all the right answers.
