A Cost Saving Solution for the Staffing Profession
In an attempt to save money, businesses cut costs by downsizing. Human resources and staffing departments experience these times also, whether it is a hiring freeze or just a slow business period. Once business picks up again, these downsized positions must be filled, which calls for more recruiting staff.There is a solution to this problem- A Virtual Assistant (VA). VA’s are independent contractors who provide administrative support from offsite locations such as their home offices. They also provide specialized services which include desktop publishing, meeting and event planning, website design, bookkeeping, marketing, publicity

Totally Different Questions
In a high-speed global marketplace that reverberates daily with quick-shifting customer expectations and demands from the marketplace to immediately respond, companies may no longer rest on their laurels or keep doing things the way they’ve traditionally been done. The smartest, most successful companies, for example, take pains to pursue not only present customer desires but anticipated, as-yet unexpressed, customers needs and desires in the future. Such projections require both research and imagination.Take Toyota, for example, perennially ranked among the top five sellers of cars and trucks in the US. Its management tinkers cons

The buzz almost everywhere these days is about valueless leaders and corporate deception. As Allan Greenspan so aptly puts it, we are living through an era of "infectious greed." Whether what has gone on was either illegal or unethical, I'm content to let that be determined by the courts and regulators. But, there is no doubt that CEO's have been looking out for No. 1 at great expense to shareholders and the country. We are dismayed and rightly so. Too often we have witnessed those caught up in this power culture spin out of control. We have seen it politically, in the corporate world and in many other places including the church.

The one thing we are beginning to recognize is that we have strayed from the proverbial path. At one time corporations and their leaders had a social conscience. They not only were economically viable but they also allocated a portion of their profits to give back to their community. So is what is happening all bad? I don't think so.

Since Ritalin, Humanism, And Outcome Based Education Are Not Working - Business Can Help!
There are solutions to schools gone wild that do not drug our kids, mask the truth about where feelings come from, call anything I do good or teach character as a series of definitions and posters.More...I was encouraged to see a recent article (along with several in the last few years) "The Great ADHD Myth" by Jenny Hope in the London edition of Daily Mail.One true story: My friend J was told that both of her adolescent boys needed to be put on Ritlan if they were to continue in public school. J and her husband began researching, seeking wise counsel, and praying. They came to the realization that before drugging their bo

Minding Your Own Brand - If They Come, Have You Built It?
Every time I watch television I see ads which depict the most wonderful places to shop. One particular ad depicts a home improvement superstore full of friendly, helpful, knowledgeable staff in every department. The ad goes on to explain how this staff is there to assist you in every facet of home improvement and repair. One day I needed a part for my kitchen faucet and a new cordless drill, so I set out for that store.Upon arrival the only person who acknowledged my presence during my first ten minutes in the store was the “greeter” who was trying to get me to fill out a credit card application. The staff who were standing in the plu

Good Governance
I well remember during my first working visit to Africa, nearly twenty years ago, that on discussing the visible corruption where I was working, a young African said to me, ‘but of course you don’t have any corruption in your country, do you?’ I gently told him, yes we do, but on the whole, there isn’t much publicity about such things.Now we are in the year 2005 with vastly expensive computer systems, layer upon layer of audit and inspection, risk management, good governance and compliance, not to mention Tony and Gordon, and waste, poor management and corruption have been minimized – haven’t they? Well if you have been on holiday on

WHAT DOES GOOD LEADERSHIP IMPLY?

Leadership is defined primarily by what we do, not by the role we have been assigned. Good leadership starts "in here" and has values, clarity and a vision of what is really important. People instinctively follow good leaders. In essence who you are comes before what you do. If you are wondering whether you are a good leader, simply remember what you were like the last time you were under pressure or stress. Your actions spoke louder than words.

Good leaders have high expectations both of themselves and others. They develop relationships and believe in people. They understand their ability to influence the performance of others. Effective leaders convey an energy and a passion that encourages others. They are not interested in blaming others for problems but rather look for solutions.

Good leaders set an example. From the volumes of literature on leadership research, we learn that above all, people want to believe in and trust their leaders. Credibility makes a huge difference in both our performance and our

It's an unfortunate fact that a glass ceiling exists at all for women. Throw being a mom on top of that, and you might have lowered that ceiling even more. As is true in most things in life, it's not accurate to say this is always the case. There are exceptions, and hopefully those exceptions will soon be the norm. Until then, here are some tips for moms moving upward at work.

Do you dance through your own life, career and business and the surrounding chaos? Or do you struggle against it, exhausting yourself, causing collisions with others and keeping yourself from reaching your chosen destination?

Managers of people have a style, consciously or not, which has elements of authoritarianism and democracy. The author observes how these come into play and suggests adding market realities and results into the mix as managers hone their styles.
