This past Tuesday was Election Day. Many races are decided, and a few are being confirmed. This event is part of this nation's great history of letting the people speak. Our freedom to vote for what we want moving forward and who will represent those ideals. We cannot take this for granted or take it lightly, because without this freedom we can become complacent and ultimately lose our freedoms. Now is the time to unify and move forward. Some of our candidates won their races, and others did not. In the end, “We the People” are the government and need to come together on many fronts.

𝗢𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟮𝟵, 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 – 𝗛𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲

https://jklassociates.com/halloween-2026

In a couple of days, the ghouls and goblins may roam the streets of your neighborhood or gather at a nearby school or place of worship to support the annual activity of “Trick or Treat.” This tradition in the United States dates back to the early 1900s but solidified in the 1950s, when sugar rationing ended and candy became more available. But its roots date back centuries to Celtic and Medieval times. Since the late 50s, this once-children's festivity has grown into a massive business marketplace, including adult parties, haunted mansions, and many other ways to make this time of year not so hallow. Spending on this holiday has grown to an average of 10-13 billion annually and, depending on the year, is second only to Christmas and sometimes third to Thanksgiving.

As we approach this night of masquerade, it is key that everyone view this holiday through the lens of safety. On average, over 3000 children are injured on Halloween, and it is the second most likely holiday for injuries to be fatal.

Halloween is a day to be celebrated. It allows for a short-term escape to fantasy for children, and yes, some adults too. But we must all be aware of its potential consequences. May this Halloween of 2026 be filled with joy and laughter.

With a long background in ERP implementation, project management, and control systems, it is intriguing to uncover what people think planning is all about and possibly why so many choose not to plan because it is going to change.

https://jklassociates.com/hire-talent-to-contribute-not-to-manage

Two of the most important actions leaders take in a business are hiring and terminating employees. The talent a leader brings into their organization is either the lifeblood or the poison. This critically important aspect of growing a business becomes even more challenging when the talent pool in the marketplace is tight. Leaders at the hiring level may tend to adjust the standards they use to evaluate and hire talent in such a market. This isn't done with any intent to shift performance expectations, but without checks, it can lead to investing more time in managing employees rather than helping them develop and contribute.

https://jklassociates.com/holding-people-accountable-is-not-toxic

Contrary to popular social perception, holding others accountable and being accountable is not toxic. Granted, some individuals prefer a fly-by-the-seat-of-their-pants approach and do not see rules, laws, and standards as guidance systems to operate within. As we live in a representative republic in the United States and many liberties and freedoms abound, this area of responsibility and accountability has tended, especially in the past few years, to be highly subject to individual interpretation. These personal interpretations may play out in society, but within the realm of your business, the overarching framework of purpose, vision, mission, core values, principles, and standards is not subject to individual interpretation.

In doing a quick internet search for information on best practices in selling or sales, the number of options was overwhelming. There are so many books, audio, videos, training, etc., that you might think everything and anything about this topic has been written and rewritten hundreds of times. In fact, you are mostly correct. The information on many of these access points is a rework of some approach with a particular author's spin on the topic. In this week's insights, we will do a bit of the same.

It is likely you are familiar with the story of Pinocchio. The child's tale was originally crafted in Italy in the late 1800. This work centered around the wooden boy coming to life and having to navigate various trials where his conscience needed to play a critical role in his nurturing. Depending on the situation, it would cause either a positive step forward or place him at the mercy of potentially devastating consequences. The wooden boy's conscience was amplified by the character Jiminy Cricket.

Let’s start by getting a lay of the land, should you be at a point in your business career where the thought of transitioning the business to family, a third party, or simply closing it down. This is a very scary time for a leader to go through. Your life and your work have been so tightly bound together that the collision of reality and emotions can genuinely feel overwhelming. You are going to need a team of trusted advisors who coordinate together your best outcome based on your desires, intentions, and other factors like tax and legal ramifications.

With Labor Day behind us and the unofficial start of fall, our attention shifts to many in our communities going back to school and to the mindset in the workplace returning to focus on completing the calendar year by achieving the objectives set forth in January. Some might say that they never took their eye off the target during the summer. For some, that is very true. The reality is that although they might have kept their eye on the target, did it translate into actionable steps forward to the goals of the business?

The unofficial start of the fall season and new school year for many takes place next week. But prior to that event, we pause to acknowledge all who have labored and will labor for this great nation. Labor Day is set aside each year to recognize the importance of those who contribute to our nation by putting forth effort and energy in their chosen work.
