| Article Title :: The Difference Between Boss and Leader |
| |
| Every leader is a boss. But every boss is not the leader. This defines the difference between a boss and a leader. The biggest difference between a boss and a leader is one.

If we've reached the goal at the end of the week, I treat the class to pizza and a game and then we sit down and plan next week's goal."There in a nutshell is a tried and true strategy for building and maintaining successful teamwork that any corporate event planner should take to heart. My teacher friend's Friday afternoon 'pizza party' serves a triple function - it recognizes the work achieved, rewards the team for their work, and serves as a springboard for the next goal.

| Article Title :: Problem-Solving Success Tip: Keep Your Promises |

| Article Title :: What Do You Need to Align Business With IT |
| |
| Discussions about IT and Business alignment are often about closing a certain gap, one that was “opened” in an earlier stage. The question is how did your company get in that situation? Why was there such a gap? And more important; is there really a gap, or are we talking about different views on the complexity of your business. And, how do we solve this?Alignment should be a continuing management topic. Perfect alignment should be about applying the same rules for any management area.
