3 Things a Great Leader Would Never Say  By Les McKeownSometimes leadership is quite simple: Avoid these three phrases. Great leadership is hard. Very occasionally, it's pretty simple-- like just not saying dumb things. In the spirit of simple leadership, I give you my personal top three dumb things leaders shouldn't say.

Los intereses de la empresa por encima de los míos

The 20 Most Powerful Words in Business  By Les McKeownThis simple sentence should be your new personal motto. It will keep you productive and your business on track.

4 errores en SEO

4 Worst SEO Mistakes  BY MICHAEL MOTHNER Want to boost your search engine traffic? Avoid these common blunders. Most business owners rely on traffic from search engines to drive sales.
