Know a task is really done by using completion criteria. Define what successful completion of each task entails. Specify not only when the task is due, but also what standard must be met. You don't want to tell someone who has worked really hard to complete a task that they misunderstood and you wanted a sledge hammer rather than an ordinary hammer.The need to have due dates associated with tasks is well understood, but it's still really hard to get a real commitment to a date. Meetings frequently end with a list of action items, each carefully associated with an owner, but with a mumble about setting due dates later. Given that most people who are assigned these tasks are extremely busy, and given human nature's procrastinating tendencies, "later" is quite likely to become "never." Be vigilant and persistent about setting due dates. Even if they’re tentative and you have to change them later, get something down as soon as the task is identified. Then follow up to make sure the task gets completed, rescheduled, reassigned or, if appropriate, dro

Often when we see a very good marketing campaign, public interest story or community-based marketing program; we say to ourselves Wow! And we want to know who is behind it; often what we find is that it is a public-relations specialist team promoting a product or service for their client.It makes sense that public-relations is a big part of

News flash – you may actually be putting the brakes on your corporate climb by taking a job with another organization.The latest generation to enter the workforce is building a reputation as chronic job changers. Although the employment situation will never be as it was in generations past, with the majority of employees classified as “lifers”, there are benefits to working your way up one corporate ladder as opposed to several.Commitment is often rewarded, and the business world is no exception. Most organizations will take a chance on internal candidates that they wouldn’t on an external candidate. Candidates with a proven track record hold a lot of appeal to those making the selection decisions. The ability to access past performance appraisals, speak with the employee’s current manager, and see the candidate in action are substantial benefits that can’t be duplicated wi

Back in the day when I was still apart of corporate America, I found myself tasked with the huge job of figuring out what spiffy new company wide software system we needed and what would work best for us.Which computer system would work best? How do I know? Hour after hour of boring computer system presentation, endless trade shows and phone calls and I still didn't have an answer. By the time you figured everything in, each system I looked at was priced somewhere around $170,000.00.With $170,000.00 on the line, you can imagine I was not about to make a snap decision. So I changed my approach a bit. I really dived into why the old software wasn't working and what the team really wanted the system to do.What kind of difference could finding out what the team wanted make? Well, it turns out that 85% of the system we had was fine. But because I was able to nail down the processes behind what we needed, I hired a programmer at $25.00 per hour to come in and make the upgrades. The whole project cost about $2500.00 NOT $170,000.00.You're probably no

WHAT IS PUBLICITY?
Publicity is NEWS. News about your company, its products or services, its personnel, etc. Anything that has a legitimate news angle will probably find a number of editors eager to publish it for you...free.
Why are editors willing to do this? It's their job! Editors are charged with the responsibility of filling up page after page of space or, (in the case of radio or television, minutes of time) with information that is timely and useful to their readers or listening/viewing audience. Theirs is a formidable task, performed under the constant pressure of deadlines. Your news release helps editors do their job.
It's important, however, to differentiate a legitimate news story from what should be paid advertising.
To acomplish this, editors typically ask themselves two questions when reading your press release:
* Who cares?
* Who already knows?
If the answer to the first question is "a large number of my readers or listeners", and the answer to the second question is "very few", then your release stands an excellent chance of publication.
Remembering the old axiom of "Nothing is older than yesterdays news", it also becomes obvious that your news release mus
