How's That Working For You?
I often ask clients to tell me about the management and leadership practices they use. Recently, I asked one client how he organizes priorities and plans his work.He stated that he comes in each day and hits the ground running; he's constantly putting out fires, answering questions, solving

Lead Your Organization to a Better Culture and a Better Organization
A common concern of new CEO’s is how to create a positive organization culture. In simple terms, culture is the personality of the organization – and if you’re the CEO you want to be leading a confident star, not a disorganized slob.To develop their star, most organizations resort to gimmick

Like showman P.T. Barnum, my grandpa used to say, “a sucker is born every minute.” Today, as we grope our way through cyberspace, there’s one born every second. And the hucksters are so brilliant at what they do.

Subtlety went out the window with Windows. Even with your trusty iPod earplugs in place, you can’t read a magazine, go on line, pick up a telephone, walk down a street, ride a public conveyance without being accosted, shouted at; invaded by screaming aliens from the planet Madison Avenue. Like a bombardment of artillery rockets coming at you from every direction, so are the flashing signs, blinking neon, talking heads, blabbering blogs, news releases that aren’t news, how-to ads that serve the server when you buy the book.

Every earthling has something to say about everything, and everything to say about nothing. Experts appear from nowhere with scholarly judgments on how you should live your life. Remember actor Peter Finch’s character Howard Beale in the movie, "Network?" How many times have you told yourself, “I’m mad as hell and I’m not gonna take it anymore?” Well, I'll tell you how NOT to be a victim. Log on to my website and BUY MY BOOK.

I trust you’ve noticed the distinction between a how-to, and a how-not-to pitch? Right. There isn’t any difference.

We’ve all been snookered at one time or another. I was standing on a Ft. Lauderdale Beach corner with a friend, when a young woman approached us with an offer for a free lunch and a boat ride if we would meet her at a hotel. All we had to do was give her ten dollars each and she would meet us in an hour with our tickets. Believe it or not, these “so

Problem Solving
When problem solving, you may recognize that you were working on a symptom instead of the problem. An analysis of the more clearly defined problem may require an alteration to the objectives or the ideal solution. These reviews and changes are costly in terms of time and effort which emphasizes the

Output Management To Centrally Manage Electronic Distribution Of Paychecks To Different Location

If you are a supermarket or retail chain or a smaller enterprise with a few outlets then you will be familiar with the challenges of safe and timely distribution of payroll checks.

Access and Facilities for the Disabled in UK Exhibition Centres
Providing access and facilities for the disabled is an important issue and hence below we look at how some of the main exhibition centres in the UK are fairing in terms of catering to the needs of disabled visitors. Ensuring that disabled people have full access to all areas at an exhibition is impo

okered at one time or another. I was standing on a Ft. Lauderdale Beach corner with a friend, when a young woman approached us with an offer for a free lunch and a boat ride if we would meet her at a hotel. All we had to do was give her ten dollars each and she would meet us in an hour with our tickets. Believe it or not, these “sophisticated” city folk fell for it. When we met the woman at the appointed time and place, we were herded into the hotel and seated in a room with dozens of other innocents. The lunch and boat tickets were withheld until we sat through six hours of unmitigated hard sell hell on the virtues of buying into the hotel’s time-share in beautiful Ft. Lauderdale-by-the-Sea. The “free lunch,” for which we’d already paid $10 on the street corner, was lousy. By the time we left, the pitchmen almost had us convinced. Don’t laugh. My smart, savvy lawyer cousin fell for the same come-on with a smart con just as savvy.

Like my wise old grandpa used to say, “Whether or not you have your druthers, there ain’t no free lunch sisters and brothers.”

All-in-all, trucking is an enjoyable job. People from all walks of life become truckers and a lot of people who don't ever get into trucking wish they had. These few tips can make the difference between a job you enjoy and a job you merely endure.

Why do we use experts? To predict the future. Consider a patient who is asking a physician about the future effects of a certain drug, or the investor who is asking a stock analyst about the future prices of a certain stock, or the manager who is asking a human resource manager about the future performance of a certain candidate, or the brand manager who is asking a market researcher about the future sales of a certain new product. Should we believe these experts? History tells us that accurate predictions of the future are rare. Many examples exist where the brightest and most qualified individuals failed to see the future. This series of articles presents examples from the arts (see part I), business (see part II), and science (see part III).

From your name and logo to your business philosophy and corporate mission; from your advertising campaign message to your design elements; from your products and services; all that is owned, produced, stated, sold and marketed by your company falls under the broad heading of your Brand.
