    Advice on Picking and Developing a Career
    Have you wondered why it seems some people are so successful in their career and others are not?

These are the people who settle for something lower than their own capabilities would qualify them for. They did not do the things which people who are successful in their care
    This is a challenge for every company owner and manager. You have tremendous plans for growth and expect a lot of your employees. But do you know if the company is meeting your best employees’ expectations? Are you providing the type of environment that supports high productivity and high quality? Do you really want to know?

    If you do, consider creating a Company Performance Review to find out what your company culture really is. Find out how employees feel about their environment and morale at your company. The Company Performance Review asks employees if they see certain behaviors occurring at your company – behaviors that could kill a company over time if left unchecked. It will help you determine if there are ethical issues you need to be concerned about in your company.

    This review must be completed anonymously, or employees won’t be comfortable answering honestly. The object is to make all employees suddenly more aware that actions that are sometimes common in companies can do real and lasting damage. It takes effort to increase the recognition of ethical issues to make it easier to begin setting standards.

    Think Time... It's Now Or Never
    I recently read an article published in the June, 2005 issue of Fast Co. magazine.
