7 Business Themes for 2019

February 4, 2019

We hope for courage in leadership, and we continue to seek nobility in management. 10 years ago, I wrote an article for the Honolulu Advertiser (now the Honolulu Star Advertiser) titled, The Top 7 Business Themes on my 2009 Wish List. It’s 2019; have we made progress? Would those 7 business themes be different for […]

Bring Constants and Change to Ho‘omau Agreement

January 24, 2017

Change is overwhelming; that much is a given. Charles M. Bow, columnist with the New York Times, tweeted “Lord, I need to pace myself. Trump and his shenanigans are going to do me in if I don’t,” a sentiment I can totally relate to. It’s no secret that I am a Trump resister turned #BeAloha […]

October 23, 2013

He started our conversation over coffee saying, “This is such a tough time to be in business.” Well, it could be said that it’s always a tough time in business, for there’s always something challenging about it, always some problem-solving to be tackled, isn’t there.

The 3 Sins of Management — and the Cure for all 3

April 10, 2013

“The 3 Sins of Management” was a “Please don’t commit them!” article I published within my Alaka‘i Managers’ Managing with Aloha Toolkit in the early days of my coaching career. It was easy to write, for an unfortunate reason — I saw one, or all of these sins practiced in every single workplace I visited, […]
