Between 1968 and 1974, researcher Walter Mischel conducted what would later become known as the famous Stanford marshmallow test. Mischel studied children between the ages of four and five. He left each child in a room with a marshmallow, telling them that he would return in 15-20 minutes; he explained that if they hadn’t eaten the marshmallow by the time he returned, he would reward them.

Accountants / Lawyers Do Yourself a Favor - What do Your Customers Want?
In my day to day practice in strategic human resource management I often come across customers looking for a 'good' accountant or 'good lawyer'. As an accountant myself the common thread for a 'good acountant or lawyer' seems to be 'I want someone who can explain things in plain english without the jargon'. This simplicity of service and communications can grow your business and ensure that you never need to look for more work! And the sad fact is that there are many practioners that just don't deliver.So what makes a 'good accountant / lawyer'?

Sales Recruit Failures Cost $000,000s
It's not poor skills or laziness but when management is fighting fires, a sales staff is on its own and the numbers start falling.Even with the high cost of hiring, training and letting go of a majority of sales staff recruits, keeping weak performers would be a mistake. But just how many qualified new recruits are being lost? There must be some way of finding out.The Real Problem It doesn't make sense that most sales recruits are duds or that an existing sales staff can't do more. Management needs a better, more pragmatic

Saying One Thing, Doing Another...
This week I was asked to speak at an internal conference for a bank. The subject was how to build a great customer experience. However, the reality was somewhat different to the title. I sat listening to speaker after speaker - all coming along with the same message “how can we stuff more products into our clients and achieve our targets”.As I sat there I started to think, why do people say one thing and do another? Do they really think people are that stupid that they cannot see the conflict between the words and the actions? So, as the speakers

What used to be the American Dream has now become the American Way. We see something, we want it, we buy it. No cash on hand? No problem, just use credit. Right? Wrong! Credit card debt is sweeping the country in very much the same way an illness or plague could. Infecting uneducated buyers and reducing their lives to a stressful, existence of trying to make ends meet. It is time to stop the
