Write You - Leadership Nonsense
Being is business isn’t just about getting a customer, selling him something and moving onto the next one. It’s all about making sure that your customers keep coming back to you … and spend more money!But how can you make sure that your customers stay customers for life? What strategies can you put into practice to keep bringing them back for more? A planned customer retention programme is something every established small business should have in place. That sounds great, but what is a retention plan and what should it include?Do the

One of my favorite maxims is “just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they aren’t out to get you”. I generally apply it the quote to government, but in a business world pretty well wrapped up into pseudo-new-age “secrets”; it helps to remember that you can’t “positive think” your way out of every situation. All the good vibrations in the world are not going to make some people behave with honor and integrity. In business, there are people whose ill will and appetite for destruction cannot be satiated. These are the entrepreneurial sociopaths.Most books about leadership and organizational effectiveness don't offer much that's new, but they do offer some of the same nonsense over and over again. Here are a few of the things I keep reading that really pull my chain.
"We've got to make our workers happy so they'll be productive." I've searched for years and I can't find evidence to support that. I can find evidence for the statement that: "Productive workers are more likely to be happy workers"
In other words, concentrate on doing the things that make folks productive and they're more likely to be happy at work. As it turns out, we know how to do that. Gallup's research and my own years of consulting and training convince me that your immediate boss has the biggest impact on whether you're productive and satisfied at work.

Medical billing of oxygen claims is not for the mentally challenged. Medical billers should really be paid a lot more money than they are, but that is not the focus of this article. Our focus is to try to make heads or tails out of one of the most complex records in the medical billing industry, which is the GX0 record. In this segment, we resume our discussion of this record with field number 24.GX0 field 24, positions 218 - 225, is the date tests performed. Honestly, this is a very poorly worded field. What tests? Well, you'll have to r

Many Universities to propel their academic research programs faster will partner with government agencies and private enterprise and this makes sense because it is a great source of monies to help propel the university and the businesses and government to get brilliant minds who basically work for free as slave labor.It is your typical bull crap human exploitation tactic and it is purely sickening except that the individual student does get kudos, a degree and a much better chance at a future career with a very high paycheck. So in the end the

Everyone I have ever talked to that is an entrepreneur has had to come face to face with their fears. I have had to as well. I want to share with you some of the techniques that I have used to face them. The first step is not to be in denial. You have fears even if you don’t readily acknowledge them. They sometimes take the form of that chatter in the back of your head that says you can’t do it.Fear is such a huge issue in people going out on their own. I have heard from the CEO of a real-estate based network marketing company that even th

If you didn’t know better, you’d think today’s business world was one big Monopoly game.Lots of corporate leaders – those inclined to be the battleship or cannon when they sit down in front of the big board – run their businesses with a cutthroat attitude and play with the company’s earnings like it’s, well, Monopoly money. This take-every-Chance-Card approach can sometimes produce short-term success, but it doesn’t guarantee against having to mortgage your Park Place and Boardwalk properties. Or going directly to jail, for that matter.I
Now for another one: "We need more leaders." Another version of this is: "We need more leaders and less managers."
Nonsense. We've got plenty of leaders.
If you're in a job where you're responsible for the performance of a group, then you're a leader because the folks who work for you treat you that way. They listen to what you say. They watch what you do. And what you say and what you do influences what the folks who work for you do and say.
You don't have a choice about this. The only choice you have is whether you're going to be a good leader or not. You also don't have a choice about whether you'll be a manager and a supervisor.
When you become responsible for the performance of a group you get all three jobs. Supervision work involves individuals and tasks. M
