Casual Articles - Performance Appraisal - Ten Stupid Things Managers Do To Screw It Up
I visited the NACS, National Association of Convenience Stores, this past week. It is a trade show and conference event for everyone involved in selling to or running convenience stores.If your beverage or other product can be sold at convenience stores, this show is for you. It is visited by buyers from distribution companies, convenience stores and supermarkets.First of all you need to know that the exhibitors at this trade show are not convenience stores. Instead, they are all suppliers to convenience stores. Many people believe that 7-Eleven, Circle K, Valero, Shell, Chevron, Safeway, Albertsons, Walgreens, Supervalu, AVC, or Kroger will be exhibiting their own booths, allowing you to go and talk with t

Ever struggle with trying to clearly discern and define a realistic and viable vision for the future of your organization? Many leaders lead “by-the-seat-of-their-pants.” They’re actively engaged in the daily duties of managing, directing and supervising but often perform these responsibilities without any clear understanding of how they are shaped by the organization’s vision of its future or how their successful execution will help bring about that vision. They’re in a canoe (the organization) in a swiftly moving river (the competition) without a paddle (the vision) going with the flow (the economy) and hoping for the best but doing very little to effectively prepare for it.Without a clearly defined and communic

Newsletters are a means of communication between a company and its employees, clients, patrons and customers. These are periodically printed updates about products, events and other news about your company. This is a good means of increasing your market exposure. By regularly reminding your market of your presence, you give an impression of consistency and stability.Regular communication builds consumer-producer intimacy. It helps build trust and improves customer relations. By regularly promoting your products, the improvements and updating customers of your services, you give them a sense of reliability. This makes your market more aware of your brand. This is called brand awareness. Brand awareness is a good form

I AM AN ENTREPRENEUR! It sounds nice doesn’t it? However, the title of “entrepreneur” means nothing if you do not attach any significance to the word. We all see entrepreneurs on television (Donald Trump, Bill Gates, Oprah Winfrey, etc.), yet we never really grasp the concept of what being an entrepreneur means.Achieving the success of those entrepreneurs will happen to .0000001% of the population, if not less! It is great to have “lofty” goals; however, you have to know what drives you and what motivates you.To me, being an entrepreneur means freedom. Freedom from the daily grind of the nine to five routine, freedom to do what I want, and the freedom to spend as much time with my family as possibl

Unexpectedly loosing your job can be a very traumatic and distressing experience at the best of times. If you are over 40 and can't find the job you deserve, you will need great inner strength and self belief to come out on top.Could this be you?You’re working at your family’s welding business during the day, and then go to your second job at night. You’re 50-some years old, working as a cashier at Target. You always said that if you’re 40 years old and have a career that requires you to wear a name tag, then to just shoot you!Not that there’s anything wrong with working at Target or wearing a name tag or working the family business. Those are all honest jobs. It’s just that after 20 years with your pre

Communication is faster and access to information is more readily available today than it has ever been. Ease of communication will increase. The ability to obtain the information you need will improve. On the other hand, the amount of time you have to make a decision that will benefit or harm the success of your endeavor will decrease.If you have something good to offer, you must let the people who need it know about it. The step you take or choose not to take today will have ramifications for your business tomorrow.Will your potential customer learn of, be contacted by, or worse yet, buy from your competitor who has a product or service that is inferior to what you offer?What if this happens because y
Performance appraisal is the end of a process that goes on all the time - a process that is based on good communication between manager and employee. So,more time should be spent preventing performance problems than evaluating at the end of the year. When managers do good things during the year, the appraisal is easy to do and comfortable, because there won't be any surprises.
