| Article Title :: Pareto's Law- Your Formula For Success |
| |
| A 'dirt-world' retail business I used to manage had a large turnover, a very high profit, and less than 100 lines. Early in 2001, I was contracted to manage another business. This one carried over 800 different lines, yet had a turnover of only about a sixth of the other business, and a lower profit margin. They both had a comparable amount of traffic and credibility in the market, so how can it be that the results were so different?The explanation starts with Vilfredo Pareto, an Italian economist and political sociologist who lived from 1848 to 1923. He devised the law of the 'trivial many and the critical few', better known as Pareto's Law, or the 80:20 rule. This rule says that, (read full article) |

| Article Title :: 1000 Managers Turned Their Plans Into Energy! |

leadership] development [programs were] linked to [their]
business [strategic planning process]."Why aren't the energies generated by corporate leaders being
used in developing, managing and adding value to strategic
plans?Put another way, how can organizational managers train,

| |
| Want to hear a fascinating story? Let's sit in at a meeting of the human resources department of a large corporation.
A number of human resources specialists are gathered in the board room. They chat idly to one another as they await the opening of what they expect to be a routine monthly meeting.
The door swings open and the director of human resources strides in. He smiles warmly, greets everybody heartily and spends a minute or two exchanging pleasantries.
Then he drops the bombshell!
"Effective immediately, this department is closed. I'm sorry, but we're all out of a job."

| Article Title :: New Leadership For A New War |
| |
| Military analysts call this "asymmetrical" war (as if war has a terrible symmetry); and we know that it will be as different from conventional war as three-dimensional, blindfolded chess is from conventional chess. But one thing is certain, leadership lies at the heart of achieving victory. You only have to look to history to understand that when people needed to accomplish great things, whether in war or peace, great leaders had to rise to the occasion.Because asymmetrical war is a new kind of war, a war that is more about waging peace on many different levels than waging actual war itself, a war/peace in which accountants, logisticians, diplomats, economic experts will also be (read full article) |

Can this preventive measure be assigned a dollar amount? A fingerprint scan stops an unauthorized person from gaining access to your computer system. Can a value be determined? (read full article) |

Despite all the talk and more talk in the media and at national business gatherings, nothing significant ever seems to happen.The reason nothing happens is that there is only one person who can truly make it happen: The Company CEO.

| Article Title :: 4 Tips on How to Avoid Communication Lines Breakdown |
| |
| For example, in a small, two-person company, there is often the greatest opportunity for direct conversation and discussion throughout the day. There are only two possibilities for verbal communication and it’s usually quick, easy and descriptive.If, however, a third member is added to the team, then six possible lines of communication are created - an increase of 300%. Direct communication becomes more difficult and often messages are interpreted (or misinterpreted) in a variety of different ways.Now, add a fourth team member and your communication possibilities increase to 12. A fifth person increases the possibilities to 20. That’s 20 different ways a message can be (read full article) |
