Hub You - Not Another Ice Breaker! Team Building with a Purpose
A lot has been written about all known kinds of scams including “Phishing”. But criminals keep on throwing their nets and having quite a good take. Therefore we have to continue exposing the phishing attempts. And since “it is better to see once than hear 10 times” I want to share with you 2 emails that I have recently received.These are really similar letters (in fact it is almost the same one with tiny differences). The letter(s) are as follows:Subjects:1. We were unable to authorize charges to the Credit Card Number you provided.2. Your Amazon Account will be Closed!“Dear AOL Client, (Dear Client)As part of our security measures, we regularly screen activity in our networ
A very high competition always occurs when applying for a job. It is not that easy. Most applicants have had difficulty getting an interview. However, if their chances to be interviewed are increased then it could help them to get the job. Well, the best advice to get the job or at least an interview is to write a good cover letter.A cover letter is the summary of your education, skills, accomplishments, and trainings. It matches the job that you are applying for at a certain company. It is the direct guide of your employer in knowing your credentials which matches the qualifications being given. Cover letters are written for different reasons and purposes. Take a look at the following examples.- Cover
On the first day of the offsite only about half of Janet's team had shown up; the other half were working on a hot project that needed to be completed later in the week. The remaining team members politely participated in the team building exercises, but didn't seem very interested in the activities as they felt too "squishy." Because Janet wanted to focus the offsite on team building, there was no clearly stated business purpose for the event. The brainstorming sessions were good, but no tangible actions were taken down for the team to follow up on. In short, the offsite was met with a resounding thud from the team and was a di
As children we often used to read stories where magical words can open caves filled with treasures or magicians using words like abracadabra... sim sim.. and magically things appear out of thin air.Resume Keywords are the magic carpet that carry your application to the shortlisted files. It is especially important when thousands of resumes are recieved by the HR and the entire process is digitised. The sorting and shortlisting from a digitised data bank is done through keywords.So what are the keywords and how does an electronic data bank work? Technology enables the data banks are searchable by inputting a particular word or key phrase to select suitable resumes from the huge resume data banks. The

I’ve had the pleasure and honor to meet some of the world’s greatest leaders and leadership gurus, from Sir Richard Branson, General Tommy Franks, and Captain Mike Abrashoff to Dr. Warren Bennis, Dr. Henry Mintzberg, and Tom Peters. And I get paid to do it! Through our work with Linkage Inc., we help support their broadcasts of these famous people by designing and developing participant and facilitator guides that many clients use to turn a 90-minute presentation into a true learning and growth opportunity.I recently had the opportunity to meet with Marshall Goldsmith, world authority in helping successful leaders get even better by achieving positive change in behavior: for themselves, their people, and their

Well, are you? If you aren't mailing your past clients and prospective clients at least a quarterly newsletter, you might as well take a wad of cash out of the bank and just tear it up! Get this. It may be COSTING you $800,000 or MORE in lost repeat and referral business to NOT send a client newsletter (I hope you cringed when I said that!). Many of us (falsely) believe that we render such an awesome service that OUR clients will naturally refer us, and wouldn't even THINK of using anybody else.Dumb, dumb, dumb. It's a vicious world out there. Your competitors are constantly spending big bucks, secretly attempting to "steal" your clients away from you. Many of your clients may not know or "forget" about the othe
Supply Chain Management is a decisive element of good overall business management. To ensure profits, customer satisfaction, repeated sales and future growth a company needs to have an efficient supply chain management for any type of sales. Thus, goodwill building and corporate profitability are seriously dependent on it. As a discipline, supply chain management is gaining regard as more and more companies are recognizing the significance of managing the network of facilities and distribution options that facilitate procurement of raw materials, transformation of these raw materials into finished products, and the distribution of these finished products to the customers.A supply chain exists in every company wh
To some, this may be a gross exaggeration; but to others, this closely resembles an offsite they attended or were responsible for planning. Offsites are a very effective means to getting the team focused on solving a business problem, defining a strategy, or creating a revolutionary way of doing things. A very key by-product of offsites, though, is the team-building that occurs while addressing business issue at hand. Done well, an offsite not only puts great minds together to address a business issue but it also builds better teams that work more effectively together and get more things done. Done poorly, an offsite will be viewed as a huge waste of time and will poorly reflect on you as a leader.
How can you ensure your offsites are successful at building teams and getting things done at the same time? Consider the following simple tips:
