What a big subject communication is. I'm even having to divide it up for my blog because it's so big.The reason I'm writing about it at all is because of it's huge importance in every area of our life, and if you're running a business, it's essential that your communication skills are excellent.When you're offering the same widget or service as hundreds of others, what is it that can make people buy from you? Is it that your prices are cheaper? If you're buying off the net, this might be the case, but if someone prefers to get something from a shop it may not be.What about a money back guarantee? This is very attractive to a client buying something like coaching and it

Brand Management: Customer vs. Employee
When it’s all said and done, all you’re truly left with at the end of the day is your company’s brand and what your brand stands for in the minds of both your customers and employees. But do you manage your company brand for the benefit of both constituencies: customers and employees?Most companies that I consult with focus their brand management efforts solely on the customer. But if you’re really serious about differentiating your brand from your competitors, then I suggest that you begin to manage and think about your brand from a dual, yet fully aligned point of view: customers and employees.Your brand, be it appliances, electronics, automobiles, clothing, etc. serves as

A Good Business Environment Attracts Residents to New Hampshire
People have for decades made jokes about New Hampshire's state motto, "Live Free or Die", making the connection between the saying and New Hampshire residents' famous - or infamous - resistance to broad-based taxes like income and sales taxes. New Hampshire has also been skewered about its reliance on so-called "sin taxes", including room and meals taxes and levies on booze and cigarettes. The state has notoriously kept cigarette and liquor prices lower than its neighboring states, resulting in a brisk business in these products along the borders of Vermont, Massachusetts, and Maine.But the joke's on the state's neighbors: The favorable tax climate has become a magnet to businesses

Leading Change - I'm Feeling Better, Now that I've Given Up All Hope
"I'm feeling a lot better now that I've given up all hope."That humorous quote came from one of my lieutenant's. He was reporting on the morning change update by my boss. Our company had been working on change forever. Unfortunately, it was coming off like Alfred E. Newman once said, "Just because everything is different doesn’t mean anything changed." We were burning cash and not a single thing was really happening.At the time we were working for Houston's other rocket, Compaq. We were changing a lot just by virtue of our growth. We were growing at about a 40% rate our first two years with the company so that alone was a blur. On top of that the head of operations was ‘drivi

Employment Site Costs and Services
Isn't it ridiculous these days how much internet employment sites charge for their services? I mean, a single post from some of these heavyweight sites range from $100-$300. If you ask me I think it's a rip off. Sure you get tons of exposure, but that's not always a good thing because employers get bombarded with resumes and have no time to look through each and every one. Through research I've found that employers get better results from low key local job search sites such as Postmeup.com. This is because job seekers tend to go where there is less competition for better exposure.Another benefit I've found is that low key online job search sites usually allow employers to post jobs

The short answer is this: manage from the side. While heading up a project group--by definition--involves directing individuals who do not report to you, in an increasingly competitive, rapidly changing business world, even in day-to-day management, the conventional approach of issuing orders and delegating down is giving way to a lateral style. where one leads by facilitating--rather t
