| |
| "How do I find out the skills, talents and values of my direct reports?"How else? Ask! Okay, that may be a bit simplistic and misleading, as some people may answer a direct question with what they aspire to, vs. reality. The key here is to ask a series of questions that allow a theme to unfold. Questions like…What has been your favorite job or assignment and why?
If you think about your favorite supervisor, mentor or coach (and it’s okay that it’s not me…), what did you like about working with them?

| Article Title :: Take a Break or a Coach |
| |
| I recently had a chat with an ex-colleague from my previous employer. As he used
to do so frequently before, he told me a few things that were going on in the
company. And so I thought, how would I have dealt with these challenges if I were
still a manager there? I further asked myself, how would I have done things today if I
had never left?And I noticed a big difference between these two scenarios. I realized that because
of my career development from senior manager to executive coach, my views,
beliefs and skills have changed considerably. Leaving the company gave me the
freedom to think beyond daily tasks and job requirements. It allowed me to look at

| Article Title :: Striking A Balance In Today's Business Environment |
| |
| Managers and leaders who are overly negative and critical in the name of facing reality alienate their employees and customers, close down honest and open dialogue in their organizations and foster cynical, hopeless and lifeless cultures. Ignoring the positive while focusing only on the negative can be a form of management malpractice. But management malpractice will never be stopped if that’s all we expect from the managers and leaders of our organizations. The danger in focusing only on the negative while neglecting the positive lies in never envisioning the possibility of greater change, improvement, learning, breakthrough, progress, fulfillment, or happiness.The attitude that (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Write a Winning Proposal! |
| |
| Unlike an RFQ (request for quotation) that is usually for a tangible product, where a detailed group of specifications are defined, an RFP (request for proposal) is usually for a service or engineered project where the solution could be delivered in numerous methods. The purpose of the RFP is for the responding company to delineate the methods that they will use to fulfill the need and at what price.The proposal can be a response to a detailed RFP with due dates and normal bidding criteria or it can be unsolicited and informal. In general, the purpose of the response is to get the right to present your solution, in person to the potential buyer. Very seldom are awards for work g (read full article) |

| Article Title :: What Is Backfile Document Scanning? |
| |
| Backfile Document Scanning is scanning your recent and archived paper files, documents, blueprints or any other paper and converting them into an electronic format, giving you the ability to access them via your PC, network, or even online using the World Wide Web.
Most companies after some investigation find that the resources required to start their own backfile scanning processes are very costly in more ways then one, and that most times the lack of accuracy and the amount of time your staff will devote to the project is more costly to your business by pulling them away from their normal everyday tasks. Deciding to implement a "paperless office" is very beneficial, and the da (read full article) |
