In our EXECUTIVE OASIS™ series we explore the reality of business leaders who enjoy their work in such an extraordinary manner that they create a workplace culture fertile for engagement and joy. We interview executives who lead from a perspective of holistic assessments of performance (e.g., not just profit and loss but the impact of the organizational actions on the lives of all stakeholders). 

In this episode we have the pleasure of interviewing Neil Reichenberg. Mr. Reichenberg has worked at the same place for more than three decades. He is the Executive Director of the International Public Management Association for Human Resources (http://ipma-hr.org). Mr. Reichenberg is a graduate of New York Law School and joins us from his office in the Washington D.C. Metro Area. Join into this episode and this illuminating interview where we will explore his insights into leadership and HR!

SHOW NOTES: This episode is, “How Are You?"

In this show we discuss A Stone* of Solutions™ including:

1. Seriously.
2. I want to know.
3. Cultural Etiquette, The United States, "The only proper answers to the greetings "How do you do?" "How are you?" or "How are you doing?" are "Fine," "Great," or "Very well, thank you." This is not a request for information about your well-being; it is simply a pleasantry." (http://www.ediplomat.com/np/cultural_etiquette/ce_us.htm)

4. I care about how you are physically, mentally, emotionally, psychologically, financially...

SHOW NOTES: In this show we discuss A Stone* of Solutions™ including:

1) This show title reminds me of this 1999 (wow!) song by Destiny’s Child:  https://youtu.be/sQgd6MccwZc

SHOW NOTES: In this show we discuss A Stone* of Solutions™ including:

1) Admitting that there is a problem is awesome!
2) To clarify, this show topic is not about asking for insufficient help (e.g., needing more help, not asking for enough help). It is about failing to task for help at all (e.g., not asking for help enough).

3) We all fall prey to the delusion that "we can do it all by ourselves" from time to time. 
4) Unless you are a society of one (e.g., you live on a planet by yourself that you discovered entirely on your own, etc.), you have help in your daily life. 

5) Since we all have help, what would cause someone not to ask for more help at all?
6) Often, a life history of experiences where help was not offered by others...
7) Or, help that was promised [...]

1. This is a very rare group of individuals.
2. "One in four or more adults in Southeast Asia (28%), East Asia (28%), and sub-Saharan Africa (25%) are self-employed and make up large segments of the region's workforce. The self-employed account for much smaller percentages of the population and workforces in the former Soviet Union (7%), European Union (6%), and Northern America (5%)." (2. The common career path is someone who has been employed by other entities moves toward a new self-employment path.
(http://www.gallup.com/poll/175292/nearly-three-workers-worldwide-self-employed.aspx)
3. This is so rare that there are few resources to help transition from self-employment to other entity employment.

5. "In wealthier and more developed regions such as Europe, Northern America, and Australia-New Zealand, the self-employed tend to be better educated than the overall population and have incomes comparable to those who are employed full time for an employer.

6. Do you even want this?
7. "John Vechey, co-founder of Seattle-based games maker PopCap Games, just sold his company to Electronic Arts for just under a billion dollars, so you might think he doesn't have to fret about success any longer. But according to Vechey, it's not success that CEOs need to be concerned about, but how they will deal with that success once it comes their way. [...] "People can't relate." Being a CEO can be lonely and it's often impossible for friends and colleagues to understand your experience. "Friends assume that because I have a games company, I can do whatever I want or that I spend all day playing games. Sometimes I do but don't tell my boss."
