| Article Title :: Outcomes - That's What You Need to Focus on |
| |
|
Successful business owners and managers need to be very clear
about what outcomes they want. Whether you call them goals,
objectives or targets, these are the factors that you're
ultimately judged on. Outcomes determine whether your business
is a success or a failure.
If you're an employed manager, you'll find them in your job
description or contract and I'm sure your boss will concentrate
on them at your next performance review. Outcomes are what
you're paid to achieve.
Many business owners and managers allow themselves to be
distracted and diverted from their outcomes. They get involved
in all sorts of situations that take their "eye off the ball."

| Article Title :: Rapport - How to Build it with Your Team |
| |
|
I've often heard managers say - "My door is always open, come
and talk to me anytime." You have to accept the fact that your
team won't always do that. They might not want to bother you or
they may feel that they should know the answers to their
questions and they'll look stupid if they ask. And how many
times have they approached you and you've been on the phone or
"too busy?" It's your job to get out and talk to them.
I've also heard managers say - "I sit with my team in an
open-plan office so I'm always available to them and I hear
what's going on" - OH NO YOU DON'T!
It's important to get out of your office or up off your seat and
mix with your people on a regular basis, don't wait f (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Employees - Treat them the way they Expect to be Treated |
| |
|
When you have to deal with one of your team who's complaining to
you, rather than allowing your negative programmes to take over,
get your thinking part in gear and try to see the situation the
way they see it. You don't necessarily have to agree with them
but perhaps you can empathise with their point of view.
The successful manager thinks about the people they have to deal
with, is sensitive to how they see things and knows that they
might think differently than they do.
Let me give you an example: I've always had a thing about good
timekeeping; it's something that's been programmed into my
brain. If you agree to meet me at 8.30 in the morning, I'll be
there at 8.20; I will always do m (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Improve Your Income |
| |
|
We all want to improve our top line - our income - be it our
salary or business profits. Here are the 5 Ways to make it
happen: 1. You need to figure out what you want, and don't
settle for anything less without a struggle. Build a fortress
around your desires. Figure out how badly you want it. Figure
out how you are going to get it. Form a plan and reward yourself
along the journey. The difference between an achiever and a
super achiever is that the super achiever gets out of his
comfort zone and tackles the tough stuff. Modest achiever
attempts to survive on their reputation. Learn from people who
have done it before. Those people are always set high goals and
achieve for themselves.

Summary: Having a "good enough" attitude is a serious stumbling
block for leaders. Such an attitude allows them to avoid the
hard work of finding better ways to accomplish things. Leaders
will be more accomplished, and will accomplish more, when they
eschew "good enough" and adopt an attitude of having a "powerful
dissatisfaction" with the way things are.

| Article Title :: People - You Can't Make Them What They're Not |
| |
|
Many business people and managers are spending too much time
trying to change the underperforming people who work for them.
They seem to believe that if they train people - tell them what
to do or even threaten them with the sack - then the performance
level will go up.
The successful manager concentrates on developing the strengths
of his team members - not trying to correct their weaknesses.
Sometimes you have to manage around a weakness, but you can't
make people what they're not.
