| Article Title :: Emergency! Gas Fire! |
| |
|
Woooooooo……Woooo………The siren sounded. All of us looked at each
other with excitement. The time has come for us to go into
action.
>From all over the building, we can see Emergency Response Team
members coming out, some looking a bit dazed. A general alarm
had been sounded and the ERT has been activated!
At the command post, the "Commander" quickly briefed all the ERT
members about the situation. There was a fire at the LPG storage
tank, and there was an urgent need to put out the fire before
the tank becomes so hot and pressurized that it explodes. Very
serious and widespread damage will certainly occur if that
happened.
So all the ERT members swung into action. From the comma (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Build Your Business (on a shoestring): Hire a College Intern |
| |
|
Starting up a new venture or business can be one of the most
exciting times of your life. It can also be one of the most
stressful. In the early months, or even early years of your
business, cash flow is often not what you would like it to be.
If you’re a solo entrepreneur, you’re wearing many hats – in
fact, you’re probably wearing all of them.
Not only are you selling your product or service, you’re
marketing it, doing the accounting, paying the bills, answering
the phones, designing and updating your website and preparing
and sending out mail. And, certainly for your own business, you
can easily think of ten or fifteen additional tasks to be done
in addition to these. In the (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Leading from the Inside Out: The Power of Deep Blue Leadership |
| |
|
One of the most profound and difficult aspects of leadership is
instilling in individuals deeply held, and yet generally shared
principles to motivate a common purpose. Leading by influencing
one's sense of identity and purpose is both powerful and
mysterious. Like the deep blue sea, it is also a source of
energy and diversity. In this first of twelve articles exploring
the spectrum of leadership influence, I address the question:
what exactly is deep blue leadership?

of a growing organization, drove into the office parking lot at
7:41am, something didn't seem right. He had arrived home late
the night before after an extended (read full article) |

========================================Three Factors Of
Leadership Motivation by Brent Filson
Leaders do nothing more important than get results. But you
can't get results by yourself. You need others to help you do
it. And the best way to have other people get results is not by
ordering them but motivating them. Yet many leaders fail to
motivate people to achieve results because those leaders
misconstrue the concept and applications of motivation.
To understand motivation and apply it daily, let's understand
its three critical factors. Know these factors and put them into
action to greatly enhance your abilities to lead for results. 1.
MOTIVATION IS PHYSICAL ACTION. "Motivation" has c (read full article) |

| Article Title :: How to Plan for More Time and Have Time for More Planning |
| |
|
It is important to realize that the title of this article could
have been written the other way around, and while at the surface
it may seem as stating the same thing, this is the illusion that
most people are deceived by and hence therefore are doing less
with more, instead of more with less.
Now let me clarify, this to another level. Most people complain
about "Well if I had more time, then I could really plan my
days!" Yet this approach will never allow you to have that time,
therefore no planning as well. Only one of these is in our
control, and time is out of hands, yet we can take hold of it
only when we know what we want to do with it.

| Article Title :: Balance Your Managerial Life |
| |
|
We have only one life, but we live in three overlapping
worlds—our business world, our family world, and our other
social world. Imagine bringing your spouse and kids to a meeting
with seven of your salespersonnel. Sitting off to your left,
Miss Wright asks the question on the minds of all her fellow
sales colleagues, “Why did you bring your family to our meeting
today? Will they be playing any sort of role in our discussion?”
You simply respond, “No, they’re just here so I can tend to
their needs.”
Of course, this is a highly unlikely scenario. You don’t bring
your family into work with you every day. However, Heather
Howitt does. Howitt, the CEO of Oregon Chai in Portland, (read full article) |

Eight Ways to Motivate Part Time Employees by Ed Sykes ©2004
In most cases, part-time employees present a special challenge
when it comes to motivation. They do the “grunt” work, have
little career choices, are often focused on other goals outside
of your organization (college, hobbies, etc.), and are treated
as outsiders by full-time employees. So what’s a manager to do?
How do we turn our part-time employees into outstanding
employees?
The following are eight proven techniques to motivate your
part-time employees:
1. Orient them properly. Take time to describe job duties and go
over what is allowed and not allowed, e.g., personal telephone
calls, use of organization property, e (read full article) |

Leadership Skills for Challenging Times By Ed Sykes ©2003
We consistently face new and ever growing challenges in the
workplace such as reorganizing, downsizing, and “left out
sizing.” We are faced with the question, “How do we lead in this
storm of change?” It may seem difficult at times and the
decisions we make define our short-term and long-term outcomes.
I will share with you five leadership techniques guaranteed to
keep you on track during these difficult times.
* Integrity. I put this first because the lack of integrity will
make or break you as a professional, as a leader, as a person in
the long run. The lack of this will turn yesterday’s heroes in
today’s villains. (read full article) |

| Article Title :: How Appetizing is Your Feedback? |
| |
|
Recently, I was watching a rerun of the successful television
show, The Cosby Show. The patriarch of this professional family
(He is a doctor and his wife is a lawyer.) played by Bill Cosby,
was just told by his college-bound daughter that the boyfriend
she brought home to meet him was really her fiancé. He was
disappointed with the news. Disappointed not in the young man or
what he did (he was a “maintenance engineer”), but in the way he
was told about this engagement.
Mr. Cosby said that the way he was told was like taking a
sizzling, delicious, robust T-bone steak and serving it on a
garbage can lid. It’s not too appetizing. You know the steak is
delicious, but would we really w (read full article) |

During the first season of the television reality show, The
Apprentice, Donald Trump would give the ultimate winner the
dream job of working for him, running one of his divisions and
earning $250,000 per year. On the final episode, the choice came
down to two candidates, Bill Rancic and Kwame Jackson, for the
“ultimate” job. Both were very qualified. Bill Rancic was the
owner of a successful Internet cigar business grossing over one
million dollars a year, and Kwame Jackson was a graduate of
Harvard Business School and most recently worked for the
prestigious Wall Street investment house, Goldman Sachs, as an
Investment Manager.
In my opinion, the decision on who would receive the job (read full article) |
