Anyone with the responsibility for hiring or promoting employees knows how aggravating it is to select a candidate that seemed right during the interview process only to realize later the new employee isn’t really a good fit for the job. Both the company AND the employee suffer for it. Poor job fit often results in lost productivity, the need for tough management, conflict, burdens placed on other employees, acceptance of sub-par performance, lack of engagement, poor retention and more – all costly issues for today’s lean organizations. Many companies calculate their costs associated with turnover; that is one measure. But the true cost includes all of the above and more.Admit it, we sometimes (or is it ‘too often’) hire the wrong person for the job.First, let’s acknowledge that selecting the right candidate to work for you is hard. Here are just some of the reasons (e-mail me with yours):• A number of people who make hiring decisions are not trained selection experts.• Candidates are often ‘less than honest.’• Resumes leave out all but the good and safe stuff.• There is a lack of clarity (by the hiring manager) about what is required – beyond hard skills, experienc

If you want to double your business, then you need to get inside your client's head through proprietary research and provocative results.By conducting proprietary research, you obtain special information that prospective clients can't find elsewhere. The foundation of client seduction is to give away useful information that demonstrates to clients you have the expertise to help them. Giving away general problem-solving information is good, but it is not good enough. You need to offer specifics, and the more provocatively you can package the results, the better.Professionals, consultants and technology entrepreneurs can use proprietary research to obtain clients, even during tough economic times. A recent case in point is Enterpulse, an Atlanta-based Web services firm that designs and builds corporate Web sites. Projects can be extremely complex, encompassing both the external and internal Web presence of a company and serving an intricate network of customers, employees and suppliers.According to Enterpulse, 2002 was a "now or never" year as the deepening technology recession further eroded sales and prospects. Many of the firm's larger and better-known competitors had gone bankrupt in the previ

Whether meeting via teleconference or in person, peer groups provide business leaders and managers with an opportunity to honestly and openly discuss their goals, while helping other people solve their problems in the process.
Peer groups provide a safe, supportive environment in which peers can share ideas, voice concerns and challenges, and receive ongoing support to keep on track to meet goals. You get more out of discussing someone else's issue in a constructive manner than you do talking about your own. And the other members feel the same - creating the ideal collaborative environment for growth.
