Educational leadership and its basic concept

The whole idea of leadership in an ethical and educational context has given birth to the theory of educational leadership. From a young age, moral and ethical values are imprinted on a growing individual and this is expressed by way of his goals, actions and perceptions. In the end, all of these qualities go toward shaping a leader and the best kind of leader is the one that not only has integrity but also makes others act in such a manner as well. Higher levels of integrity have been linked to improved on the job performance and empathy as well, and these are good things too.

Brand loyalty is a tenet as old as t...

For longer than I can care to remember, marketers have tried to dictate brand loyalties to consumers and foster this within them. Our earliest retail purchases perhaps end up setting the tone for years to follow. I loved Adidas as a kid, and the love affair was strong for many a year. Then, for a long time (and even now), it is Puma for me. Perhaps it is something else you love as a brand. Over in Australia, my friends down under tell me that as a man or a motorsports enthusiast, you either follow Ford or Holden. Brand loyalty is a powerful [...]

And of course there’s the added benefit of your customers talking to someone who thinks a football is elliptical and not round. Everyone knows footballs are meant to be elliptical.

Using a business accelerator to grow your business might be the wisest thing you could have chosen to do in a long time. But before we kick things off, a point has to be made. Don’t confuse a business incubator and a business accelerator. A business incubator will offer a common location for a number of fledgling businesses to work. More than services, they will offer the equipment you need and the networking and mentoring you need to get things off the floor. Most of these business incubators were linked to colleges and universities where [...]

Business logos define who you are

The Twitter Bird, as Twitter’s logo has come to be called, is a very memorable logo indeed. But none of the founders came up with it, and they certainly didn’t get it from some highly paid marketing expert nor a team of designers putting their brains together. That bird came from the users. Very soon after the site was launched in 2006, users started to refer to their messages as “tweets”. And what better to represent tweets than a bird? Twitter considered strongly how users use and consider the brand and they are much better [...]

Traditionally speaking, leadership has always been a top-down process with those higher up the pecking order giving the orders and those lower down the hierarchy scurrying to get things down. It’s a bit like the relationship between a puppet master and a puppet. But thought leadership is just drastically different to traditional leadership. It has nothing to do with the position you hold or whether you manage people. It doesn’t even matter if you are low down the organizational hierarchy. Thought leadership is no one’s [...]
