Welcome back! It's good to see you again. Please note that I am now publishing all new material at my hub site: In Context Blog

I have a guest post up today at Slacker Manager, check it out:

Trust has become the currency of today’s business world, and is expressed in the culture of the businesses or organizations that we are part of. This series of articles will explore what Seidman calls “The Five Hows of Culture“:

1. How we know
2. How we behave
3. How we relate
4. How we recognize
5. How we pursue

The amount of trust that exists in your organization reflects your leadership style and its effect on the culture of your group. This culture that you create will reach into the areas of communication, office politics, teamwork, professional development, and the growth of your business. I want to start with Information Management - how institutional knowledge is created, used, and communicated through the organization. The influence of culture on the use of Information and the method of Communication is profound, and can mean the difference between thriving and mere survival.
