He has one of the best, most positive brands around and it continues to inoculate him against any hint of impropriety, as it has for generations.Why does Santa's brand remain so strong? Because Santa is:• Consistent• Unique• Customer-focused• ViralLet's examine these to see what lessons we can learn.First off, Santa has a positioning statement and has used it to stay true to his mission for decades.It is this
When I worked for Frito Lay back in the late seventies and into and through the eighties, they came along and decided they’d ‘empower’ our mechanics that worked in the shops of our extensive private truck fleet. They wanted to elevate them, they said, to positions of more responsibility. It was a big change in our modus operandi.
Headquarters Human Resources were in charge of this charade and it became a program that was rolled out across the country. When it hit the streets it amounted to nothing more than a headcount reduction, we eliminated the vast majority of our Fleet Managers as they were called, the folks who ran the shops that maintained the vehicles of our private fleet. It was called empowerment.

The last time Inflation was above 4% interest rates were 11%, Terry Waite had just been released and it was the 17th of November 1991. In business terms many lifetimes ago. Whether the Bank of England will raise interest rates to 11% to achieve Gordon Brown’s mandate I will leave to the Money markets to speculate. It is unlikely that interest rates and hence the cost of capital will return the “lowest rates in 30 years” within the next two years.Within the context of Business’ implementing projects how should they respond to the changing environment? Those industries with c

UK consumers are gradually developing more cosmopolitan tastes for wall coverings, which benefits the ceramic tile market, since many other countries make more extensive and bolder use of tiles. The use of ceramic floor tiles in the UK was low in the 1990s, but this sector is now showing relatively strong growth. The interest in a more Mediterranean style of decor has had the opposite effect on the wall coverings market, encouraging the preference for painted walls. The manufacturers of tiles and wall coverings work hard at product innovation and fresh new collections come onto

Every business wants to look good for their clients. Whether this means maintaining a shop to high standards or keeping a customer-friendly office, businesses want to ensure that their clients feel welcome and that they're exposed to the best possible aspects of the company. However, there's much more to keeping a work environment looking good than mere presentation: efficiency of work also holds a large stake in the matter.There are countless aspects to any business environment, ranging from the actual building where a business is based to specialised departments such as I

The industry of traveling nurses has picked up and the number of companies has soared in recent years. With the United States of America and Canada experiencing a shortage in for the past couple of years, traveling nurse companies are appearing in large numbers. Within the United States and Canada, these companies search for nurses and send them to medical centers and hospitals that are in need of and lack manpower. The nurses who are sent to different locations enjoy a lifestyle of traveling and lucrative pay. They are also given medical, health, life, dental and vision insuranc
When it hit the street it reminded me of the old quote from Alfred E. Newman, the one from Mad Magazine when he said, “Just because everything’s different doesn’t mean that anything’s changed”. And nothing had changed except we were short several Fleet Managers and our all ready hard working mechanics were now disgruntled and severely over worked.
The mechanics clearly understood day one that they would now do the work of their former boss. They would now do all the paperwork, the parts ordering, the warranty claims, you name it. Of course the company rolled out systems to support this new work, right? No way. Come on you say, the company paid them, the mechanics, a little more money for the new work, right? Not on your life. They should be happy with their new responsibilities. One HR Manager actually said, “They should be happy we trust them with this work”.
When you are leading organizational change you cannot treat empowerment this way. The key to empowerment is having a clear vision that is communicated and people know what the end result looks like.
