| Article Title :: Squashing the Procrastination Demon |
| |
|
We all know a procrastinator . . . that person who does
Christmas shopping on December 24th, pulls an all-nighter to get
a report done, or avoids making even the simplest decisions.
Many times the procrastinator puts forth a defense of "well, I
do get it done, don't I?" Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Even if
things do get done, though, the stress put on the procrastinator
(and those around him or her) is greater than it needs to be. If
you know of a procrastinator (or are one yourself), use these
tips to help make life a bit easier for not only the
procrastinator but for those around him or her as well:
Decide that you're going to be serious about dealing with your
procrastination issues - j (read full article) |

The First 90 Days The Red Carpet Treatment
Remember your first few days at your present job? Were you
excited? Nervous? Did you worry about your ability accomplish
the tasks given to you or the impression you would make on your
new co-workers? Perhaps you were concerned about the impression
your new co-workers would make on you.
You would not be alone if you were feeling a little lost during
your probationary period. Many people do. Since you know how it
feels to be "the new kid on the block" you may be the perfect
person to welcome other new employees to the fold. Regardless of
your job title, you can help to make the difference between
whether a new recruit stays or leaves within th (read full article) |

| Article Title :: SMART Objectives |
| |
|
Most managers are familiar with the setting up of goals or
objectives for their teams or departments. However there remains
a lot of speculation on why Objectives are needed, who needs to
have objectives and finally how to go about forming the perfect
objective.
Objectives are generally a list of one or more statements, each
statement a clear definition on what has to be achieved. There
can be Overall company objectives, department objectives, team
objectives and even personal objectives. Objectives, especially
short term objectives brings immense clarity about the immediate
future to the team and how they are going to be affected.
For example, an Olympic 100 m sprinter knows her goals. (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Leadership Formulas |
| |
|
Do we really believe outstanding leadership is so simple that we
can boil it down to a simple formula? Could any single formula
explain the likes of Gandhi, Jack Welch, and Bill Gates? Of
course not.
Individual human beings are amazingly complex. Interactions
between individuals and groups are even more complex. Leadership
represents one of the most complex forms of human interaction.
In any given leader-follower relationship countless things are
happening simultaneously: ego needs, security needs, needs for
power, needs for approval, needs for affiliation, needs for
achievement, etc., etc.
Nevertheless, many authors continue to offer simple formulas for
leadership success. John Maxwell a (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Balance Strength With Heart |
| |
|
I wonder if the human touch, which people have, is not one of
the greatest assets that one can have. You meet some people, and
immediately you feel their warmth of mind or heart. You read a
book, sit before the performance of a fine actor, or read a poem
-- and there it is -- something that streams into your
consciousness. . . . Those who keep climbing higher, in their
chosen work, all have this outstanding something. The nurse in
the hospital, the man who delivers your mail, the clerk behind
many a store counter, and the effective minister or public
speaker. Without this human touch, hope has little on which to
feed or thrive. - George Matthew Adams
Let's face facts. In a leadership role (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Project management best practices |
| |
|
As both an active project manager and a project management
trainer, people often ask me what are the fundamental aspects to
successful project management. Whilst there have been many great
books written on the subject, I always summarise what I believe
to be the best practices at the heart of good project
management.
Define the scope and objectives
For any project to be successful you need to understand what the
project is supposed to achieve. Suppose your boss asks you to
organise a campaign to get the employees to donate blood. Is the
aim of this to get as much blood donated to the local blood
bank? Or, is it to raise the profile of the company in the local
community? Deciding w (read full article) |

Constellations
A diagnostic tool for creative strategic development
Dr E Kloprogge, Peter G Gleeson and Tyrone J Francis, January -
2005
Introduction
What is a Constellation?
A constellation is an innovative way of diagnosing and
resolving troubling issues. It draws on emotional intelligence
and intuition as well as logical thought. A constellation
provides insight and foresight by uncovering the hidden dynamics
of a situation. By bringing something to light a constellation
provides support and momentum to do something new.
Setting up a constellation
A person sets up a constellation by placing people (including a

| Article Title :: Flexibilization |
| |
|
Professor Walter Oechsler of the University of Mannheim
(Germany) believes the workplace and workforce in the 21st
century will be characterized by "flexibilization." Oechsler
sees the "flexibilization" of the workplace and workforce
leading to "a core group with unlimited full employment, and an
increasingly larger group of short-term limited and/or part-time
employees who face severe employment risks, ultimately resulting
in stress."
Unfortunately, I must agree with Oechsler's rather unpleasant
prediction. Increasing global competition will lead to
increasing pressure and stress on all employees. Employees who
are unprepared for the new workplace will find themselves at
great risk.

| Article Title :: What Does Your Staff REALLY Want? Part 3 |
| |
|
The 2005 "Best Places to Work" program study showed that,
contrary to popular opinion, employee satisfaction didn't depend
on salary. The most given answer as to what makes a company a
great place to work is employee empowerment.
And what constitutes employee empowerment? I believe it comes
down to a few basic principles, the third of which is effective
communication.
EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION
Millions of words have been written on this subject, and yet
it's still a huge problem, especially in the legal world. Why?
Think about how attorneys are educated - they go to law school
and learn how to be adversaries and advocates, keep secrets, and
always look for the hidden agenda. That's (read full article) |
