What do governments do with their surplus and/or impounded merchandise? Surplus merchandise is government owned goods that are no longer needed. They may be office furnishings, guns, ships, buildings, office equipment. Also included in surplus merchandise is military equipment, Coast Guard equipment, and fire equipment. If there is a default on a government guaranteed mortgage that results in foreclosure, there are houses that are auctioned. The government also sells at auction goods that it has seized from criminals. This can include almost any
To explain these models briefly, “Theory X” management assumes that the workforce is lazy and ignorant and would rather do anything except work. The job of the “Theory X” manager therefore is to drive the workforce to do their work, to create an environment in which it is so difficult for the workforce to avoid work that they have no option but to work. This is seen as the traditional role of the manager by both the manager an
Many home based travel agents do not know the advantages of a coastal vacation call center. These entrepreneurs who operate a travel agent business rely on themselves or family members to handle sales calls and close the deals. Many of these people lack sales or marketing experience. This lack of knowledge often contributes to the failure of many home based businesses.Employees of a coastal vacation call center train to assist customers seeking great deals on family vacation packages. The employees speak to customers refereed by the owner of th
It is as if there is a force field around the front bumper of your vehicle and that by creeping up to the car in front it is possible to push their car faster so that we can get where we want to go quicker.
But have you ever thought what happens when someone starts to creep up too close behind your own car. Do you accelerate away smartly leaving them to catch up? Or do you slow down?
The fact is we are all human beings and the human reaction to being pushed in one direction is to resist or to push back in the opposite direction. (Remember what happens when a teenager is told to clean their room?)
If someone is trying to make us hurry up by driving too close we will almost invariably resist by slowing down. Even when we know this, we ourselves will still drive too close to the person in front when we want them to go faster and as a result we become even more frustrated when they slow down.
Our own behaviour is creating the conditions for our failure.
Fifty Years ago there was an American Business Guru called Douglas McGregor. Douglas McGregor was in the van of a growing band of enlightened management savants who appreciated this aspect of our behaviour and realised that most of the problems to do with lack of morale and performance at work are directly created by the way that managers behave towards their workforces.
To explain how this works McGregor coined the two terms, “Theory X” and “Theory Y”
“Theory X” being the model that describes the management behaviour that creates problems and “Theory Y”, the model that, recognising the problems created by the directive “Theory X” manager, creates the environment for the workforce that allows them the space they need to work as well as they can.

A trade show is a great place to network, look for a job, find a new employee or develop a partnership.Are you in the market for a change? Maybe. Maybe not. But it’s always smart to be willing to chat.CAVEAT – Don’t gossip. Don’t be negative. Don’t burn bridges. Every industry is a closed loop, so what goes around comes around. You never know who knows what.HERE'S A START - 50 QUESTIONS.......These can be asked in an official interview or during a random, casual conversation. Listen carefully not only to the wor

One alternative to starting a business “from scratch” is to buy an existing business. To some extent, buying a business is less risky because its operating history provides meaningful data on its chances of success under our concept. We must, however, balance the acquisition cost against what the cost of a startup might have been.Small-business sales are generally (on the order of 94%) sales of assets, with no assumption of liabilities; only about 6% are sales of company stock. Often the seller finances part of the purchase; typically the bu

Technology changes the way we work, live our lives, and have fun. Technology can empower businesses with improvements in productivity, faster development and production cycles, superior decision making by employees, and enhanced customer service. But deriving these benefits from incorporating new technology is not always a smooth process. Technology is often, at first, disruptive before it becomes empowering.Although the ideas developed in this article may have general applicability, they are mainly intended to relate to the incorporation of ne

There are numerous high school fund raising ideas and it may be hard to select which event to choose from, but one favorite is a bingo night for the entire family. You can choose to provide a dinner or you can sell snacks at the event. The students can do most of the work which will not only help them work as a team, but there is something about unity and purpose when involving everyone together. This will also give families an opportunity to have fun together and get to know one another. A high school fund raising idea can be a great teaching tool if
To explain these models briefly, “Theory X” management assumes that the workforce is lazy and ignorant and would rather do anything except work. The job of the “Theory X” manager therefore is to drive the workforce to do their work, to create an environment in which it is so difficult for the workforce to avoid work that they have no option but to work. This is seen as the traditional role of the manager by both the manager and the workforce.
“Theory Y” on the other hand assumes that the workforce is skilled and experienced, is willing to share that experience and take pride in what they do. The job of the “Theory Y” manager is therefore no longer to tell the workforce what he thinks they ought to be doing. The “Theory Y” manager’s job is to create the environment at work that will allow the workforce to take pride in what they do and to give them the support that they need.
The difference between the two models is the huge difference it makes to the way the workforce feels about what they do, and therefore their ability to do their jobs.
The problems occur when a creative and motivated workforce, is treated as if they are lazy and ignorant by a “Theory X” type of manager.
Predominant management behaviour, learned from our peers or from schools, is all about what managers can do to drive the workforce to perform better. The “Theory X” management strategy.
What Douglas McGregor shows us is that “Driving” performance is actually the management behaviour that causes poor performance and bad attitude.
The lesson from Douglas McGregor and “Theory Y” is, if you want to get there quicker, if you want to increase the performance of your own organisation, stop pushing the people who actually control your organisations ability to perform, the workforce.
If you want to go faster, Slow down!
Try the “Theory Y” approach next time you are stuck in traffic.
The more space you give to the people in front the quicker they will go. When we slow down we give the driver of the car front more space. He will stop feeling as if he is being pushed and will therefore speed up, By allowing the driver in front to feel that he is not being pushed we will get where we want to go quicker.
At work it is the same. The less direction and control the
