| Article Title :: How to Deliver Training and Development that Delivers the Desired Business Outcomes |
| |
| To be competitive and to remain a player in today’s 24/7 knowledge driven business world requires that your employees be thoroughly trained to deliver the best customer service both to your external and internal customers. The old 19th and 20th centuries’ paradigm of controlling the employee has transformed to one of freedom for today’s knowledge worker.Yet, continued research suggests that the majority of training and development initiatives estimated at 80 to 90% whether they come from the human resource department to the executive management team fail to deliver a positive return on investment. Consequently, when training fails, the first department to experience budget (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Why Outsource? How Does Outsourcing Help Companies in Rationalizing Their Costs? |
| |
| Outsourcing has been the cause of much debate in recent times. There have been arguments for and against outsourcing. The supporters of outsourcing are primarily those motivated by the desire to cut costs and streamline their business processes while those against outsourcing are those primarily affected by their jobs being given to others. Whatever may be said about the topic, the fact remains that in these days of heavy competition, it’s become a necessity to outsource certain components of a business in order to remain competitive.For all those against outsourcing, they should realize that if their company supports them and doesn’t outsource, their company will be the first (read full article) |

In this article I want to offer some ideas to help you become better at getting the performance you want from your teams.

| Article Title :: Medical Billing Services: Choose the Type That's Right for Your Practice |
| |
| Medical billing service providers come in many different shapes and sizes. At one end of the spectrum are large Practice Management Companies, with an extensive network of support but sometimes rigid and expensive. At the other end are small, home-based businesses.

Somewhere in the middle of these two extremes is what we’ll refer to as Professional Medical Billing Services. When considering your options, it is important to understand what each type of medical billing service provider has to offer and which is best for you.

| Stop trying to motivate me!
Part II
Or
Why are you trying to make me angryThroughout our industries, both public and private, there persists a perception that motivation is a commodity to be handed out by the manager at his own discretion.Nobody seems to consider the effect of what would happen, if instead of finding time for motivational speeches and conferences, we spent the same amount of time and energy looking for the reasons that people become demotivated in the first place, then simply get rid of those reasons.Let us start with the assumption that most people want to do a good job.We don't get up in the morning hoping that we will miss the train or t (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Managers Must Choose Their Battles Carefully |
| |
| The most difficult choices you’ll ever have to make as a manager are in choosing your battles. You need to answer three questions:1.) Which battles can be won?
2.) Which battles do I have to win?
3.) Which battles are best not to fight?You can’t win all battles. For example, you shouldn’t resist if a mugger sticks a gun in your back and demands your money. Other battles can be won but the price of winning is too high. Taking a customer to small claims court over an unpaid $20 invoice is unwise when the court cost is $75.An example often brought up by managers is employees who smoke. Smoking in the office was acceptable thirty years ago. Allowing smoker (read full article) |

| Article Title :: OE Consultants: Is There a Future for Them? |
| |
| Since my “Death of the OD Practitioner” article was published about a month ago, I have been asked whether Organizational Effectiveness (OE) consultants will experience the same fate. My answer is “no.” Of course, that assumes that OE consultants do not follow the same destructive path that Organization Development (OD) practitioners chose.OD practitioners made the mistake of not partnering with their clients to produce business results. OD practitioners looked at business executives (their clients) with disdain.
They saw business men and women as bourgeois money-grabbers who didn't care about their workers. Their anti-business, anti-capitalism, anti-management rhetoric ha (read full article) |
