| Article Title :: What Working Women Want |
| |
| Women have been in the white-collar workforce for a generation, but plenty of things about them still puzzle many a male manager. As an HR leader and working women for a generation myself, I've compiled this Top Ten list of tidbits that the women in your workplace would love for you to know.1) View me as myself, not a stand-in for The Working Woman.Women tell stories, when they get together, about being the token woman in the management meeting, the only woman in the sales meeting, the only woman on the business trip. That's not the bad part - the bad part is being viewed as a specimen, representative, and spokesperson for the entire gender.2) Don't compliment me by s (read full article) |

| Article Title :: The Darkened Room or Patterns of Organisational Behaviour |
| |
| I recently came across W Edwards Deming and have since been doing some homework to discover why there is so much resistance to what is essentially some very basic philosophy.Deming’s early work on statistics and quality was built around an ability to analyse complex systems and the use of that analysis to predict complex outcomes.Deming was a statistician and his work very soon leaves the basic philosophy and becomes bogged in the complex use of numbers to define complex systems.The very complexity of his approach deters many students but there is a more fundamental problem with complex systems that was identified by the later work on chaos.There seems to be (read full article) |

The human race has invented at least every kind of name for a planner. There’s a daily planner, a weekly planner, a monthly planner, a yearly planner, holiday planners, electronic planners, game night planners and so goes on the list.Indeed, our craze for getting organized and up to date has spilled over and now; we even have real people who use the concept of planning as a job.

| Article Title :: Leading Without Authority |
| |
| As an organizational consultant, the leaders that I find that are most in demand today are those that can motivate and engage
employees that are outside of the scope of their functional
responsibilities. The same holds true for the non-profit
organizations I work with.What make these leaders effective? Leaders who are effective in
leading others -- particularly when they are not in a boss /
subordinate relationship -- typically exhibit the following
behaviors:1. They are ethical in their actions. They are clear about their
values, goals, and expectations. They do what they say they will. They are willing to admit to mistakes.2. They are well connected. They kno (read full article) |

| Article Title :: The World's Best Thinker |
| |
| Six years ago, in anticipation of New Year’s Day 2000, Biography on A&E released its list of the 100 most influential people of the Millennium. Johann Gutenberg ranked first. Isaac Newton, Charles Darwin and Galileo made the top 10. Abraham Lincoln was 23rd. Alexander Graham Bell came in at 44. The Beatles were 76th. And Steven Spielberg snuck in at 91.If given the opportunity to revise the list today, the voters might find a way to include one more person. It’s a man whose life began less than a year after Teddy Roosevelt left the White House and ended last month, one week shy of his 96th birthday. He wrote three dozen books – the final one arriving soon – and recei (read full article) |

In the business sector, both an employee and customer can receive incentives, which may come in the form of money or free goods.Rewards for employees can be given if they sell certain hard-to-sell or expensive products, or if they meet certain sales quotas. Those for clients, on the other hand, can be given if clients buy certain products, pay a large amount of cash to purchase your products or services, or refer potential customers to you.Whether you are giving rewards for empl (read full article) |

With utilities like Internet choosing is becoming even more difficult.One option that is recurring in business is the one where you ought to choose between self production and the leverage on the work of others.
