Articles
I have been writing articles in the areas of Business Transformation, Personal Development, Learning, Organizational Development and Science and Spirituality for the past 15 years. I have not written these articles as a "writer" exploring a subject. Instead, these articles have been written based on live sessions I have conducted for CEOs and Executive teams, talks I have given at various venues or as a response to new challenges my clients have come across. I invite you to read it as if you are listening to the words and post your comments as if you are responding to what you listen.

A brief commentary about each principle is described in this article, although the best way to learn more about them is to practice them regularly.

In Search of a New HP Way
“If you were to be advising the board of HP, what would you say,” a friend and a CEO of a services company asked me. He knows that I am an advisor to CEOs and boards for the past 17 years. And that I help them to identify their company DNA and see whether potential candidates for executive positions have a personal DNA that aligns with that of the company. “Now that Carly Fiorina has resigned from the company”, my friend said, “the HP board has another opportunity to restore the legend of HP. Would you recommend that they...Posted by pkaipa at 05:19 PM | Comments (156) | TrackBack
