We need leadership more than ever. Mergers, acquisitions, threats of terrorism, and lack of role models quickly zap our passion to engage fully, in work and in life. At what cost to you? Energy drain? Worker dissatisfaction? Strained relationships? Employee morale? Are you searching for that one magic bullet that will make it all work? Then, wake up and use the one free gift you have; your brain. It is a production warehouse of infinite possibility. What are your production obligations?

If you are a marketer, it is to produce products and services that compel the consumer to spend money. If you are a manufacturer, you want on time, zero-defect production and delivery of your products for profitability. Human resources? You want a productive workforce; one that stays with you in a competitive market for talent. The list of needs to retain and profit from our employees grows every single day. What smart business leaders know is how to use the brain to make money. Sound leading edge? Perhaps kind of 'mystic'? It's not.

Benchmark Day - 2003. Leaders in industry from the United State's most conservative energy maker, Con-Edison, to the state- of -the- art detoxification program of New York's fire fighters, offered account by account of the ability of human beings to tap into the infinite power of their brains, to make strides. Strides in productivity, health and life satisfaction. Sound kind of new-aged? Maybe a bit, 'out there?' Guess again.

Smart leaders, life-long learners, know there is but one magic bullet to profit and succeed. This magic bullet penetrates and unleashes the human potential in each person. The magic lies within the mind of each and every employee. Find out what motivates people and you are a winner. Want to improve your bottom line, top line? Want to be the top quality manufacturer ? Want to attract and retain top talent? Then, get with it or be lost. Lost among the other leaders wondering how to 'get my people to perform?' You can be so much better.
