The Breakdown of Accountability in the McCain Campaign

Bea Fields — Fri, 07 Nov 2008 07:15:06 -0500

As most leadership consultants do, I have been watching the campaign in earnest to learn what I can about formulas for success. The more I watch the ending of the McCain campaign, the more clear it becomes as to why this campaign failed.

48 Laws of Obama: Strategy Expert Robert Greene on How Barack Made History

Adisa Banjoko — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 18:57:35 -0500

On May 20, 2008, Barack Obama won the state of Oregon. No matter what opinion people made about Obama "not being ready to lead" a bi-racial man with a Muslim father and a Christan mother had taken one more step toward entering the Oval Office. The mauling he gave Senator Clinton in several predominantly White states in massive numbers seemed unthinkable. Or was it? http://hiphopnews.yuku.com/topic/821

Which VP Candidate Is BrandCredible™

Anaezi Modu — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 17:04:35 -0400

On the eve of the next US presidential debate, and a few days after the proverbial dust has settled from the vice presidential debate, let’s look at the two candidates relative to what makes a brand believable and authentic.

Presidential Campaign Offers Great Lessons for Corporate Marketers/Communicators

Barak Kassar — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 04:00:58 -0400

As the U.S. presidential campaign get's insaner by the minute, it's providing great examples/lessons for corporate communicators and marketers.

Today the Obama campaign offers a great example of clear, hard-hitting communication in the form of www.keatingeconomics.com

Who Gets "It?" Not Political Admen

Alder Crocker — Wed, 24 Sep 2008 22:39:34 -0400

Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio?

Every four years, the country is over-run with political ads from presidential hopefuls, and for the most part, they are aggressive, in-your-face and pushing the limits of the truth....all supposedly to make a point about the other candidate's inability to govern and make decisions that are in our collective best interests.

Who is the better change leader: Obama or McCain?

Seth Kahan — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 11:00:38 -0400

Harvard prof John Kotter is one of the foremost authorities on change leadership. I thought it would be interesting to apply Kotter’s eight-step process for implementing successful transformation to our two candidates for president, rating their effectiveness as change leaders. Here goes:

Paul Grant — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 13:24:43 -0400

In the past decade we have seen a revolution in the way businesses and organisations operate, resulting from technological and social advances possible using an international network.

Interactive Strategy

Paul Grant — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 12:20:19 -0400

Insights and opinion pieces about how sectors lagging in the digital age can understand the power of an interactive strategy. Government (Public Sector), not-for-profits (NFP's), and the Museums and Heritage sector have not yet embraced the concept of engagement using online media. Have your say, share some insights, or perhaps point us to relevant case studies.
