| Article Title :: More Time Wanted? Deal with Your Time-wasters Now!* |
| |
|
Focusing your time to be as productive as you can has never been
more important - yet many of us waste our precious time on
employees, who frankly don't deserve it.
They will never fit.
Solving this problem for you will almost certainly be solving a
problem for them - so don't be fearful. Want to know more - and
how? Read on...
Ever feel that you spend too much time shoring up the
performance of some of your people? More time with one or two
than with some of the others.
And doesn't that just drain you? So think about those employees
and how they are draining you and damaging the energy you have.
The energy that could well be directed much more productively.

"Trust is the emotional glue that binds followers and leaders
together." - Warren Bennis and Bert Nanus "If you don’t believe

I see it all the time - leaders who blame followers for
breakdowns in the organization. I often hear complaints like
these: - “If those people would just do what I tell them.”
- “You just can’t find good workers today.”
- “Why won’t these people get onboard with what needs to be
done?”
- “Why do they complain all the time?”

| Article Title :: Character -- Why It Matters In Leaders |
| |
|
"Character is much easier kept than recovered.” - Thomas Paine
“The best index to a person’s character is (a) how he treats
people who can’t do him any good, and (b) how he treats people
who can’t fight back.”
- Abigail van Buren
“Good character is more to be praised than outstanding talent.
Most talents are to some extent a gift. Good character, by
contrast, is not given to us. We have to build it piece by
piece…by thought, choice, courage, and determination.”
- John Luther Long

Here is a simple tip for aspiring leaders – It is far better to
have character than to be one.

| Article Title :: Hiring Tip - Picking the Best Candidates |
| |
|
I often hear leaders from all types of organizations ask
questions about hiring the right person. Their questions usually
sound like these:
- What if their resume looks great but they have a bad attitude?
- What if they put on a good act and then don’t work hard?
- How can I tell how they will perform after I hire them?
A great way to answer these questions starts with a well-defined
interview process. I have heard the procedure called many
things. I first learned it as the Behavioral Event interview
process. The guiding thought behind this system is that "while
it is no guarantee of success, past performance is the best
indicator of future performance."
Here is the main idea -- (read full article) |

“Leading To Lead With Emotional Intelligence” By Daniel Goleman,
Richard Boyatzis, Annie Mckee Published by Harvard Business
School Press 2004 ISBN 1591391849 306 pages
Primal leadership takes center stage in this book. This concept
goes beyond the set of conventional competencies on the making
of a leader. Beyond bottom line figures, this book takes a leap
forward with the concept of primal leadership through a keen and
in-depth understanding of emotional intelligence and its link to
leading and building emotionally intelligent organizations.
The authors explore the idea of leadership as an emotional
function. They prop (read full article) |

What You Can't Ask a Job Candidate is as Important as What You
Can Ask By Stephen Spain mepatwork.com
As a human resources professional or business owner, you face
many challenges during the hiring process, from sorting through
stacks of job applicant résumés to making an attractive offer to
the one person you believe best matches the specifications of
your open position's job description. The whole procedure is
more than time-consuming; it can be stressful as well. None of
the demands of finding and hiring the best candidate are more
complex than those of the interviewing process. Besides spending
a significant portion of your time listening to what your final
candidates have to say, y (read full article) |

Thousands of love songs portray sad stories of the fire going
out in a romantic relationship. Business teams face the same

feeling that occurs when the thrill is gone is usually felt by
all involved. As a leader, you have the power to influence how
connected your team remains over time. Follow these seven tips
and you will lead your team around or even through the rough
spots involved with staying connected.
