When new executives join the team, they are full of promise.
Their jobs offer new challenges. They dig up old and new
problems and probe for solutions. They are fighters, workers,
and dreamers. Then something happens: They slow down. They lose
their sparkle. They relax, take it easy, and become straight
nine-to-five people.
They keep themselves out of trouble. They a (read full article) |

To help you maximize your leadership potential, here is a
ten-point strategy she suggests:

Lack of Operations Manuals stunting your growth?
CONTENTS: 1. Do you lack functional Operations Manuals? 2. Use
a SYSTEM to write your Operations Manuals! 3. Yes, but my people
just don't/won't write stuff down! 4. But people WILL write

Do you lack functional Operations Manuals?
============================================================
Great businesses depend on systems, not people.
That's because you can duplicate systems, but not people.
If your business can't duplicate salable results, it won't
survive. Duplication is Nature's Survival Law.

Listening to complaints, whether they're reasonable or not, is a
part of every manager's job. Sometimes complaints can be
overwhelming. However, when we take them in stride with an open
mind, we can learn much from our employees' and customers'
feelings about the workplace. After all, a complaint is nothing
more that a person telling you that his (or her) needs haven't
been met. As (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Turnover is Not a Problem |
| |
|
“Ha!” you say. “For someone to make a statement like that, they
obviously haven’t worked in the real world and certainly have
never had to run a company.” Well, let me assure you. In my past
I’ve not only run companies, but spent many years in one of the
most notorious industries for turnover – the restaurant industry.
Don’t get me wrong, I understand and appreciate the challenges
that turnover creates. Turnover causes a drop in productivity,
lower profits, inconsistent quality, and certainly creates work
overload. In addition, turnover results in a lack of motivation,
a lack of enthusiasm, apathy, and a lack of teamwork. But here’s
the question…

Throughout my career, I have asked managers what they look for
in hiring new employees. The single most sought after
characteristic is a positive attitude. Knowledge can be learned
but a positive attitude cannot be taught and is recognized as
being critical for success. Yet, if attitude is so important,
why do we do so much to destroy it? (I use we, because as a
manager, I was guilty of having done some of the very things I
have outlined below.) The following are some things I have
learned that will enhance or destroy a positive attitude.

apparent to me that I could single-handedly affect the attitude

High Engagement, it’s not your standard employee motivation. -
All organizations today are faced with intense competition and
rapidly changing markets, customers, products, delivery, systems
and services. The rate of change is outpacing our ability to
adapt. We are witnessing this inability to adapt every day as
organizations in business, government, religion, healthcare etc.
fail right before our eyes.
Sometimes, I think we overlook the fact that the rules of the
game have changed as well. Early on in my career, businesses
were evaluated by the amount of assets or “Retained Earnings”
showing on their books. “Good Will,” used to be a bone of
contention in determining the real val (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Five Secrets to Gaining Credibility with Your Team for
Outstanding Results |

Towers Perrin, the corporate benefits consulting firm, surveyed
over 1000 American workers and found the following:
* Only 51 percent of all workers trust their organizations to
tell the truth in employee communications * Only 48 percent of
all workers with more than five years of tenure believe their
companies are honest in their employee communications * Only 44
percent of all workers over age 50 trust their organizations to
tell them the truth in employee communications
Organizations then wonder why worker productivity decreases,
employee loyalty is at an all time low, and human resource
situations increase. Your employees see everyday, at least in
their eyes, the following:
