Nevertheless, he’s nearly hit this extraordinary milestone, so I thought I’d give him the benefit of the doubt. The story, itself, is pretty simple. I was traveling from Grand Rapids to Lansing yesterday in my mobile office.

Associations can create thriving online communities too. GrowthZone’s eBook, "The Power of Community," breaks down exactly why a branded online community can be a game-changer for your association.

Time management is a crucial skill for any leader. Most leaders have many responsibilities, many tasks to accomplish daily and weekly, and many people reporting to them. As a result of the economic challenges many businesses have faced over the last few years, leaders are now challenged to do even more with limited resources and, of course, limited time.

As another season of American Idol comes to a close (congratulations Phillip Phillips!), I can’t help but reflect on all of the changes the show has undergone over the years. From two hosts to one, a bevy of new judges, a remarkably flashy set, amazing new musicians and back-up singers, celebrity stylists and now, quite arguably, the best talent in all of the reality show singing competitions.

This blog is about associations, volunteerism and leadership. We often explore leadership traits, discuss leadership experiences and offer suggestions for working to become better leaders. We haven’t to date discussed the next generation of leaders. Every organization, whether an association or a for profit corporation, must address how the next generation of its leaders and customers will interact, will deliver services, and what services those customers will desire.

While we understand its importance, we tend to associate recognition with intangible outcomes like engagement and sentiment, rather than direct impacts on retention and high performance. In today’s workplace, the true ROI of recognition lies in its ability to regenerate tangible, business-driven results.
