| Article Title :: Six Tips for Confronting Negative Behaviors |
| |
| It is a fact of organizational life – negative, unacceptable behaviors will happen. When they do, the leader must address them.I normally emphasize the benefits of encouraging positive, productive behaviors over punishing negative ones. However, my clients and seminar participants often ask questions like:- “What about team members who don’t want to play nice?” or- “What if I can’t find anything positive to reinforce?”The short answer is this: “Confront negative behaviors early and decisively.”When you fail to confront negative behaviors, you subtly signal acceptance of them. In effect, you encourage them to continue. As Admiral Wi (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Change Happens: Change and Transition Management for the Individual |
| |
| Life change is unavoidable. The pace of change has increased to a record rate with the latest innovations and information technologies. Our body's primitive response mechanism has not been able to keep pace and we are living with "overwhelm" as a daily companion. We do not have time to adapt at a genetic level, so we must learn to use behavioral adaptations to survive and thrive.Each of us is a unique person with our unique habitual response to stress. Some of us respond to stress with anger, frustration, rage, or fear. Some of us get "uptight" and hold tension in our jaws, necks, shoulders, backs, or legs. Some of us want to run away as a response. Sometimes we tighten our stomach (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Managing: New Managers are Usually Too Hard on Themselves |
| |
| Moving from staff into management for the first time is exciting—but it can also be scary.There’s so much you don’t know. Somehow managing looked so easy from the
outside, but now that you actually have to do it, you realize it’s more complicated than
you thought. Before, you had certain tasks to accomplish and you knew you had the
skills to do them. You still have responsibility for those tasks, but now you have to
see that the work is done effectively by other people. That’s a whole new task in
itself, and you’re not sure you’re up to the job.You also find that it’s hard to concentrate on the planning that is such an important
part of managing, (read full article) |

| Would you like to avoid hiring mistakes, if possible? The following are tips from executives interviewed especially for this article.The secret to hiring "winners" is:
Know the job and your company's culture, then find the correct person to fill the job.Hiring mistakes are very costly. Estimates range from 1-10 times the annual salaries, with the general consensus being 3 times the annual salary. This is based on recruiting and training the wrong candidate (the mistake), waiting for the productivity that does not come, removing the person, dealing with morale and sabotage, replacing and training the next candidate.

| Article Title :: Ten Ways to Reintroduce Leadership Skills into your Management Style |
| |
| Managers manage and leaders lead - so it has always been. But the problem for managers is that sometimes they need to use their leadership skills as well.Working as a manager, and by having the title, implies that all you do is manage what is going on around you. As they say, 'you can only manage people and not things', which is all well and good.Yet good managers need to show at least some leadership skills as well, so that instead of picking up a series of tasks to 'do' each day, you are able to take a broader, longer term view as well.But in recent years, control; processes; planning; rules; audits and more seem to have returned to the manage (read full article) |

| |
| When your enterprise decides to undertake a new endeavor -- whether it's designing a new training program, planning a new service, or revamping an existing product -- this endeavor is called a project.

| Article Title :: Delegation Trains Everyone |
| |
| The inability to delegate is one of the most common problems of managers. Management and leadership is all about getting results by organising and supervising a workforce. Poor delegation or no delegation is inefficient and expensive. And the worst thing about not delegating is that managers are losing wonderful training opportunities for their workers.Managers have many reasons for not delegating:
They feel at ease doing routine tasks rather than supervising the work of others
They aren't familiar with the skills of their workers and therefore unsure of other people's ability to take more responsibility
They hate correcting other people's work
