Hub You - Management Diets Don't Deliver
What a conversation! A British gentleman working in global logistics, his American entertainer wife who recently became a mother, an Australian event coordinator and me. Four different cultures – and different points of view.We talked about the service we received at retail stores, banks, restaurants, hotels and airlines around the world. We each had very different opinions about what constitutes ‘good service’.The logistics guy likes fast and efficient; pleasantries are incidental. The entertainer wants time to browse before she is approached, and feels ‘hurried’ if someone comes too close, too soon. The Australian feels just the opposite. She wants attention right away or she walks right out the door.
The simple answer is that it’s hard. It’s hard to eat healthy and exercise. It’s hard to do what is necessary to be a good manager. If it weren’t hard, ev

So what’s the problem? Despite the fact that there is more written about leadership and management now than ever - more books, more aids, more methodologies to show the way - Americans remain fatter than ever, and management in the aggregate is worse now than ever. How can this be?

It seems that some things never change. As adults, we hear through the media, about the lack of ethics and the consequences of ethical lapses. They capture attention in almost every venue – from broadcast to internet to print. Whether we hear about Enron, HP, or Martha Stewart – one thing we know is that the choices we make can have a profound impact on the consequences we live.Not only are adults aware of the ethical issues in our country, but youth are also bombarded with choices and ethical issues. Recently a “Teen Ethics Poll” was released by JA Worldwide™ (Junior Achievement) and Deloitte & Touche USA LLP (Deloitte). The results, featured on the Junior Achievement web site (www.ja.org) and reported in an

Many are always asking me what are the simple tips to creating career satisfaction and life fulfillment? My experience tells me there are five important factors necessary to creating these realities.1. TIME: Determining your career vision and plan is not a “fast food” endeavor. In this era of speed, this is one area that requires your time and attention. I have had some people work intensively for several days and reach their vision and plan.I have had some spread the process out over several weeks and spend several hours each week in pursuit of this vision and plan. Either way, it takes time. The first step is to give yourself permission and patience to take the time you need to create a vision a

What a fascinating time we live in; hundreds of new products enter the marketplace every day. More books are published each year than used to be published in entire decades. We have access to a seemingly endless availability of news, television and radio stations, communication devices, and information.This onslaught leaves marketers with what some see as an almost insurmountable task -- developing effective ways to break through the deluge of information and have their messages resonate with their target audiences. I, however, see this as an incredible opportunity. Since accomplishing this feat has become more difficult over the years, many companies do not bother to market as required by today's environment,

The buzzing of the alarm clock rudely awakens you to the reality of another Monday morning and the beginning of another work week. As the ugly thoughts of what you face at work race through your mind, you think to yourself how you don’t—no can’t, go into work again. You wonder whether you should call in sick, but realize that you can’t do that again as you’ve already done it too many times. You have to go in, but you can’t face that place again.What would cause someone to feel this way? What could be so bad? Is it because he is irresponsible? After all, his employer pays him for his services. Is she just plain lazy or disloyal? Shouldn’t an employer be able to expect that their employees will come in when they
The simple answer is that it’s hard. It’s hard to eat healthy and exercise. It’s hard to do what is necessary to be a good manager. If it weren’t hard, everyone would be doing it. Not only is hard to be a good manager and remain healthy but it’s frequently enjoyable to do the opposite. It’s fun to eat unhealthy foods. It’s fun to go on management junkets and service our needs as opposed to those of the organization.
Some are in the state of denial. They don’t believe there is a problem at all. These are the ones that do the most harm to themselves and most especially to others. It’s difficult to convince people to change when they don’t see that there is a problem. Did you ever come across a woman that insists she’s a size 4 when she’s more like a 14? How about the “I’m just big boned” line? Some awful managers think they are the greatest. They routinely violate basic management tenets and twist and warp management wisdom to refle
