True Leadership Values Shine Clearest in Tough Times
During times of high stress and adversity a manager's true values shine through.  Clemmer teaches you how to stay "above the line" in navigating the tough environment many clearly face today.

Don't Let the Nattering Nabobs of Negativism Get You Down
"Nattering nabobs of negativism" was a phrase originally written by speechwriter William Safire for U.S. Vice President Spiro Agnew to describe the media who opposed the Nixon administration's policies. It's an apt phrase for professional pessimists in the media - especially these days. What's considered "news" or reported as "reality" is overwhelmingly what's wrong, not what's right.

We Need Lots More Innovation
Like the weather, many people talk about innovation but few managers do much about it. Unlike the weather, there is a lot managers can and must do about innovation - especially in difficult times.

Lead, Follow or Wallow
A central theme in Clemmer’s decades of trying to understand, apply, and teach leadership skills is that leadership is an action, not a position. Leadership is what we do, not who we are. Who we become is determined by what we repeatedly think and do. We all need to be leaders - in our personal lives or taking a leading role in our family, communities, profession, relationships, or workplace.

Range of Reality: Choosing the Best or the Worst of Times
What's your reality? Where do you choose to spend most of your day on the Range of Reality? These are vital questions for your health, happiness, success, and well-being.
