http://dennis-ellmaurer.blogspot.com/2012/12/the-good-bad-and-potentially-ugly.html

Dennis Ellmaurer's - TEC Blog. Wednesday, December 12, 2012. The Good, the Bad, and the Potentially Ugly. The sheriff rode into town the other day to speak to a combined meeting of my three TEC groups. The sheriff, in the persona of economist Brian Beaulieu, didn’t need no “stinking badges.”. His credentials in terms of forecast accuracy and suggested actions in anticipation of turns in the business cycle preceded him across TEC nation. Here is what he had to say this time. Not a bad one. 2015, 2016 and ...

Dennis Ellmaurer's - TEC Blog: October 2011

http://dennis-ellmaurer.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html

Dennis Ellmaurer's - TEC Blog. Tuesday, October 25, 2011. Lawrence E. Johnson. I met Larry Johnson in the mid-70's. He was recruited by a small, family owned company as part of a transition to a professional management team. I worked in inside sales at the time. I was part of the home grown talent, which meant I had very little exposure to the tools and ways of a professional manager. After the the Reliance deal, Larry became president of our still relatively small company. I left in 1980 to join a f...

Dennis Ellmaurer's - TEC Blog: An Option for Herb Kohl

http://dennis-ellmaurer.blogspot.com/2013/05/an-option-for-herb-kohl.html

Dennis Ellmaurer's - TEC Blog. Wednesday, May 1, 2013. An Option for Herb Kohl. The cacophony regarding a new arena for the Milwaukee Bucks is swelling. One side says the taxpayer needs to belly up again like we did with Miller Park. Just let the 0.1% stadium district sales tax ride after it expires in 2017. No one even notices this insidious little tax, the logic goes. This is a private, for profit business, after all. What business does the government have subsidizing private businesses? Schneider Nati...

Dennis Ellmaurer's - TEC Blog. Thursday, August 18, 2011. This Feeling Ain't Right. Something happened in June. Then, it happened again in July. As the months are closed and the financial statements printed, almost all of my TEC members are reporting that something weird is going on. And, it isn't good. Most of these CEOs began contemplating corrective action. Put a hold on that equipment purchase for a while. Want to hire two people? This is no esoteric exercise. It is a highly desirable time to cre...

Dennis Ellmaurer's - TEC Blog: I Know It When I See It

http://dennis-ellmaurer.blogspot.com/2013/02/i-know-it-when-i-see-it.html

Dennis Ellmaurer's - TEC Blog. Wednesday, February 13, 2013. I Know It When I See It. In the 1964 U. S. Supreme Court case of Jacobellis vs. Ohio, Justice Potter Stewart described his threshold for obscenity and pornography declaring, “I know it when I see it.”. Business strategy is a little like that. Well, not like pornography, exactly. But it is important to know it when you see it. One of my TEC members had been struggling for several years with sales growth. He created any number of sales plans.

Dennis Ellmaurer's - TEC Blog: I Never Fired Anyone Too Soon

http://dennis-ellmaurer.blogspot.com/2013/07/i-never-fired-anyone-too-soon.html

Dennis Ellmaurer's - TEC Blog. Tuesday, July 9, 2013. I Never Fired Anyone Too Soon. One of my TEC members terminated the employment of one of his direct reports recently. The now gone employee had lost the confidence of his team. Performance was off plan. Morale was down. My member moved quickly to remove this key member of his senior management team. When I asked about the abrupt termination, my member responded, “I never fired anyone too soon.”. And then, after why, what are we to do about it? Popular...
