THE #1 KILLER IN CORPORATE AMERICA:
The 2007 employment market will be rich in opportunities for millions of job seekers who are no longer satisfied with their current positions. Companies that fail to keep their employees --including their senior executives --engaged “will create a fast-moving conduit of quality candidates that feeds their own competitors and their own failure,” predicts staffing professional Eva Jenkins.Jenkins sees a continuing trend towards a wide range of high-quality jobs opportunities offered to a shrinking pool of candidates. “When it comes to employment, it is a true Sellers’ Market,” she says, an area of major concern for corporate America. “The ability to retain staff will be juts as importan

What is Productivity? And, Why Does It Matter?
When Phil hires a new helper for one of his construction projects, he first watches to see whether or not the newcomer has the right attitudes and habits to keep him as an employee.

One woodcutter works very hard, and aside from a couple of breaks, works steadily all day.The other woodcutter, though, seems to take many more breaks, at least one every hour. So the first woodcutter expects he'll have cut down many more trees by the end of the day.Bu

Don't Be Afraid Of Silence
In any conversation with two or more people, there is a tendency to want to talk all the time to fill any awkward silences or gaps that appear in a conversation.However, if you think of the conversations that you have with your closest friends or family, you will notice that there isn't the same need to fill these gaps, as silences between you are comfortable. This is generally because you know the other person and the type of character that they are.Now, if we change this scenario to the sales process you will see that it is a completely different feeling to the one above. Suddenly silence is your worst enemy, the one thing to be avoided during negotiations, the realisation that

Sometimes It Takes An Expert To Take Out The Trash
If a group of 100 people were asked, “If you had the time, are there papers in your files that you could comfortably toss out?” how may do you think would answer yes? In my experience - 99 people would say “Yes.” But who goes into the office and thinks, “OK, today I don’t have anything better to do. I’m going to clean out the files?” Not only that, but if you do start to clean them out, someone will undoubtedly give you a look that says “Don’t you have anything more important to do than that?!”Well, consider this!

Service Innovation
This is not for those people who think that Innovation is about boffins in laboratories or selling technology from academic institutions into industry. As the UK becomes even more dependent on service industries a new type of innovation is emerging. Beware traditional gurus and business consultants, as there is competition out there.I had the good fortune to be in the audience at a recent design event, where one of the speakers was Ralph Ardill, founder of the Brand Experience Consultancy. He is a designer with a track record of bringing life to some of the world’s leading brands such as Ford and Coca-Cola.
