Hub You - Wow! What an Automobile! Hey! Where Did It Go? Somethin's Rotten in Denmark!
A 27 year old manager named Justin who attended my seminar at the University of Wisconsin asked why his employees didn’t accept his authority, even though he had been given the official title of General Manager. He was taking over a trucking company from his father and thought it was because of his age, or the fact that his father founded the company. It was neither. Bill Ford’s great grandfather, Henry Ford, founded Ford Motor Company. Yet Bill’s employee’s accept his authority regardless of his family ties. Bill Gates was a teenager when he co-founded Microsoft, yet his employees accepted his authority regardless of his age.Justin’s employees didn’t accept his authority because while he was a manager, he had not yet
A lot of things happened on that trip. We hiked the trails and swam in freezing lakes. To get the flavor of our troop on horseback, go to www.tjbooks.com, scroll down the page to humourous poetry, and read Bill Shultz and the Teton Ride.
A couple of us were always sneaking off from the troup to ride horses or to see the sites. We were hitchhiking along one of the park roads one day when a Studebaker came down the ro
Current trends in business are conspiring to create a revolution in the way that small and medium sized companies do business. These forces have created an environment in which growing companies can make maximum use of their labor dollars, while accessing a talent base previously unreachable due to the costs involved with hiring top talent.The first trend is towards self-employment. Entrepreneurship is at an all time high. According to a study by Register.com Inc, 47% of U.S. adults have taken initial steps toward starting their own business or supplementing their income. However, once out of the corporate world, many small business owners find that they have budgets too small to access the level of talent that they t
After WWII, the boys came home and a couple of them became our scoutmaster and assistant scoutmaster. They decided to resume the old troop traditions and take us to the Grand Tetons for a week.
Each boy had to anti-up $13.00 to go. That was a formidable some in those days. I earned $8.00 cutting lawns. The other $5.00 came from my father after I strained my milk for a week planting a lawn between the sidewalk and the street.
I remember the ground being like cement. It actually was mostly cinders from the landfill they had used when our house was build some years before. I knew where those cinders came from. I'd passed the power plant more than once, seeing the black smoke coming from the furnaces that provided the heat to the steam generators that turned the electric turbines.
It was a hard task to get the earth dug, smoothed, and planted. Fortunately for me, my good friend Paul came over and gave me a hand once in a while.
I finally got the seed spread, and low and behold, the grass started poking its head through the surface despite the rough nature of the earth. It amazed me that little blades could move fairly good-sized pebbles.
Well, I got my five bucks, and after an inspection of our gear on the church loan, we were ready to go to the Grand Tetons. To say we were not excited would be like saying that bees do not make honey. Early one Monday morning, the troop piled into two cars and we headed out. There were 13 of us in one car and 11 in the other. If you think that riding with a farting scout on your lap is a great joy, thing again. Also, we had not a few flat tires, both on the cars and on the trailers. We didn't pull into Jackson, Wyoming until it was dark. After a bunch of the scouts got booted out of the Cowboy Saloon, we headed on up past Wallace Berry's ranch into the park.

Merger and Acquisitions... Management Culture ClashManagement styles in conflict through a merger or acquisition can dramatically affect the "bottom line."Case Study: From $1.5 Million/month to $11 Million/month in 5 monthsA large financial company added a successful new mortgage company to expand services and increase profits. A significant problem developed when the management style of the smaller company needed to be altered to fit the larger companies management style and its corporate culture. One young, highly regarded, division manager found this to be a very difficult task. His skills, energy, and expertise were needed for the over-all success of the merger. I was recruited and hired to of

Ty Harmon is a local radio show celebrity. I admit, calling Ty a celebrity is giving liberal use to imagination, but here in southeastern Colorado, everyone knows him. His lanky southern cowboy voice sooths away the sleepers every morning, as you wake up to his quips and quotes about living the ‘country life’.Everyone knows Ty isn’t a city boy. It’s obvious. He shares his fear of crazy city drivers from the one memory of being to Denver seven years ago, he drove to the Stock Show and drove home, a whole thirty blocks into the city on Highway 70. If that doesn’t capture your attention, the fact that he’s essentially computer illiterate, given that he is bothered by bloggers who might talk about him. Shhhhh, don’t tell

Radio has always been popular. It has always been a good source of news, music, story telling and fun. Even nowadays with all the new inventions and technology that are available a lot of people listen to radio regularly. There are now may sources to get information from or relax to, but radio still keeps a strong position in a number of audience however with Internet and television its’ popularity decreased a little.Commercial radio is a relatively newcomer having only been born in 1973. It has been experiencing substantial growth over the last three years, both in terms of audience and advertising revenue. Since the beginning of 1999, as one can see in chart 1, listening to commercial radio has increased by 11%.

Have you ever thought about how much rudeness may be affecting your bottom line? What is the cost to your company when you or the people who represent you lack proper manners? Do you know how many clients are turned off by employees who would rather carry on a conversation with each other than with the person who came to purchase your service or product? Can you count the number of people who hang up and call someone else because the person who answered your phone put them on hold without asking permission? How does the client rate your professionalism when the employee who welcomes him to your office looks as if she is dressed for a day at the beach? Do your employees understand that it is more offensive then friendly

A couple of us were always sneaking off from the troup to ride horses or to see the sites. We were hitchhiking along one of the park roads one day when a Studebaker came down the road. It was just introduced and brand new. It also was something we had never seen before, with a completely new design, a curved windshield, and plenty of room. It was blue in color and a wonderful thing to see. We could hardly wait to tell the other scouts about riding in that wonderful car.
Studebaker was a maker of wagons for many years. They started early in the automobile business, first making electric cars and then cars with the internal combustible engine.
During WWII, they make motors for the B-17, trucks, and the army Weasle. But they knew the war would end, so they put a few engineers and designers on postwar production projects. They were the first company to bring out a car of new design after the war. Their sales boomed!
The company showed good profits from government contracts and the new cars. The contracts diminished with time and so did the cars sales even though Studebaker continued to produce new and better products. Sadly, after the company joined with Packard, the old company passed away. BOO! HOO!
Well, it was sad. I owned two Studebakers. One I bought from my brother after I got home from the Korean War (not Korean Conflict or any of that other "police action" stuff.) I traded that in for a new Studebaker Champion while I was in college. Both were good cars and I had little trouble with them.
I was having a timing belt replaced one day, when my friend who had done the work, a returned Marine from WWII, said, "When Studebaker decided to make cars, they should have left the trailer tongue on the front. It would be a lot easier to tow them."
Studebaker made wagons for many years. Many still thought of them as wagon makers. And some, thought the quality was lacking. Well, when something went wrong with my cars, it was always a minor irritating thing. I remember that the "hill holder" s
