You likely have heard the old adage in the business world, “It’s not what you know; it’s who you know.” In generations past, networking typically involved shaking lots of hands and distributing a forest’s worth of business cards.

It is all due to my good friend named Garmin. For directionally challenged people (such as me) Garmin is a lifesaver; however, it can also create great challenges: mentally checking out while you are driving for one. You’re driving along and Garmin says, “turn right here,” then “turn left there,” and before you know it... “arriving at destination”. You have no idea where you even are or how you go there, but voila!, Garmin says, "you have arrived".]]> http://leadchangegroup.com/leadership-autopilot/feed/ 2 Do CEOs Really Have All the Power?http://leadchangegroup.com/do-ceos-really-have-all-the-power/ http://leadchangegroup.com/do-ceos-really-have-all-the-power/#comments Wed, 25 Jan 2012 12:00:35 +0000 Jennifer V.

The central premise of her piece was to question the relevance of so-called “vanity” titles like Chief Internal Evangelist or Chief Listener.

I hate being around “downers.” You know the kind I’m talking about.
