From the gridlock in our government to all the lay-offs, increased regulations and poor economy that has strained private and public corporations beyond what any of us have seen in our lifetimes—what can people in senior leadership positions do to get their remaining team productive and increase morale? Soraya Morgan Gutman, President of Morgan Business Solutions a full service business advisory company, talked about exactly that a few days ago to a packed house of over 80 senior commanders last week in Fort Bragg, the most influential military base in the US second to the Pentagon. Soraya has what she calls the “8 Commandments” which she incorporated in her seminar, “Effectively Managing Diverse & Sometimes Challenging Personal Styles at Work – Harnessing the Best in you to lead an inspired workplace.” The seminar was so popular; Soraya had to give it twice to meet the demand of senior commanders stationed at the Fort Bragg installation.
