1. Our Managing Director Announces -
Immigration questions and problems face most countries these days. Here in the US, it is front and center as our legislators are wrestling with the problem of trying to find a middle ground solution.
The issues and complex and it is difficult to find facts and information, as opposed to emotion and rhetoric.
We thought it might be helpful and interesting to share with you an article we found in our search for information. Rather than trying to reach "the one right answer", it presents some viewpoint and information. Our link takes you direct to the article at the Wharton Newsletter.

We continue with the Leadership Practices series, since these practices are the foundation for the processes that must be in place in order to achieve success.
Reminder: We've developed a couple of quick diagnostic assessments to help you. They are both fr*ee [at least for a while] and we try to deliver 48 hour turnaround of our analysis. Try them!
The Holonomic Top Down Assessment asks you about a combination of the 12 Main Enabling Processes that an effective organization has to have operating in order to achieve the 6 Desired Organizational Characteristics of effective organizations. Where your assessment indicates one or more of these are not working in your organization, we'll feed back suggestions as to the underlying Leadership Practices that might not be working.
Take our fr*ee Holonomic Top Down Assessment to see what underlying practices might be at fault and causing problem symptoms in your family business .
Diagnosing from the other direction - Bottom-Up - we ask you to identify which of 29 Leadership Practices aren't present or working. From that, we point you to Enabling Processes and thus Desired Characteristics that probably aren't functioning.
Take our fr*ee assessment on the 29 Leadership Practices to see how they affect your family business.
Whether to contribute, challenge (or hopefully even praise) our newsletter, I encourage you to contact me directly Don, or our editor David.
Enjoy, and here's wishing you, your family, your clients... much success!

3. Legacy through Leadership
There are 29 Leadership Practices [LP] that are really the foundation upon which 12 holonomic or enabling processes[HP] are built, and which, in turn, produce 6 desired organizational characteristics [DOC]. We'll look at each in this section.
LP24. Ensuring Results Oriented Problem Solving
Ensuring results oriented problem solving is a general problem solving process described by seven characteristics: (1) decisions are made at the lowest possible level; (2) the best available resources are brought to bear on problem solving; (3) these resources are utilized; (4) there is a clear identification of who is the accountable manager and who is in support; (5) problem solving is healthy; (6) rewards for the problem solving are clearly defined; and (7) the result is an implementable best decision. In LP24, the organization supports and consistently applies Results Oriented Problem Solving. In addition the focus of problem solving is to make something happen with a positive impact on the organization's success.
