Choose your next Project Kukupa‘u

April 29, 2012

“Now what?” It’s a question that will get some managers to lick their chops in sweet anticipation, while others groan, more content to set the dial on cruise control. We all experience both moods, but for the most part, Alaka‘i Managers are those who are licking their chops, wanting to move on. We choose Kukupa‘u, […]

The Language of We

April 25, 2012

Alaka‘i Managers learn to Speak with Aloha. They choose their words carefully and deliberately, knowing those words can be the most effective managing tool they have. Here’s an excerpt from Chapter 9 in Managing with Aloha on the value of KĀKOU: The Language of We Kākou is the language of “we.” And the language of […]

Birthday Aloha, ‘Imi ola Style

April 23, 2012

One of the very best things about growing up in Hawai‘i is that we like making a big deal out of people’s birthdays. We party hearty. This starts with a child’s very first birthday, for parents will throw the biggest Baby’s First Lū‘au (feast) they can afford as a way of saying MAHALO for their […]

What should you do with your life? Find out!

April 18, 2012

Palena ‘ole Positivity is Hō‘imi— look for it

April 15, 2012

Mark wrote, “Keep these coming Rosa. I need all the help I can get with being more positive. Wish I knew how you do this.” Here’s my little secret, the one I don’t talk about much: I have a skeptical side I work at keeping in check, and it can make me suspect that I […]

Values in the Driver’s Seat: An Exercise in Self-Coaching

April 13, 2012

Ever since I decided to collect them within a book, the 19 values of our Managing with Aloha philosophy have become filters for me. When something catches my attention in a lingering way, I’ll ask myself, “which of the values does this connect to?” In other words, if values drive our behavior (and they do), […]
