Hi!Recently one of my clients was looking to hire a financial controller for her business. Out of all the people who applied, the most suitable person was John.John had most of the attributes Jenny was looking for. Using our tip sheet Hiring the Right People as a guide, it was easy for her to narrow down her shortlist of applicants.Unfortunately there was one negative aspect about John… his appearance. Although he was dressed in suitable business attire, he was extremely overweight. This bothered Jenny for two reasons. She thought someone in that situation would be more prone to ill

Many managers struggle with recognition. Most err on the side of not recognizing their team members enough. Very few provide too much recognition. Here are a few tips to help guide you toward recognizing well, and benefiting from the results.1) Just Do It – You need to make the time to recognize. Make a commitment to recognize at least one person per month. Set aside time in your schedule to do it: assess who might deserve recognition; determine what the recognition will be; acquire the recognition item(s); and deliver the recognition. The process is time consuming. It’s little wond
The concept and application of motivation are misunderstood in most organizations. The motivational industry is based on a fundamental contradiction; because the focus of motivation is misplaced. After all, leaders (salespeople included) should be motivated. If they aren't, they shouldn't be leaders.
Here's where the focus should be: not on the leaders themselves but on the people they lead. Can those leaders transfer their motivation to other people so those people are as motivated as they are about the challenges they face?

The corporate Christmas card is more common than ever, especially since market research studies have shown that customers really do appreciate the personal touch when contacted by businesses. This is because most people resent doing business in what seems to be a technologically sophisticated and cold world. As is true of traditional Victorian Christmas card, the corporate Christmas card is an elegant way of reaching out and celebrating with others during the holiday season. In fact, even the first paper Christmas greeting was actually a form of business promotion as it was sent out to advertise the serv

With the opening of a new venture and numerous reporters arriving in an hour, it felt like one of those "chickens with heads off" days. We were close, but not ready. So like locusts to a wheat field, a swarm of people were devouring the last minute details. Then, it rained. With rain, came worms, hundreds washing onto the entrance sidewalk. When I returned to the area, I found a manager, several department supervisors and a director outside with brooms, sweeping up worms. No one asked them to sweep worms. But, with guests arriving shortly and no one else available, they found brooms and started sweeping.

Have you ever been at work and noticed something highly unethical happen. Did it bother you to the point you almost quit? Well did you know that 38% of all Americans have had the same experience? A recent survey seems to indicate that we have an ethics problem in the United States and it is not just in Government or with cheating spouses. It is also prevalent in the Work Place as well. But if you do quit your job, well who is going to pay the bills?It is amazing how easy in life it is to become 'ethically unemployable', but integrity is something that is becoming more and more scarce in our world.

Finally, can people at each phase of this "cascading of cause leaders" translate motivation into action that achieves results -- and not just average results but more results faster on a continual basis?
All my books, articles, courses, seminars, workbooks and interviews are based on that simple sequence of ideas.
I have written many articles on motivation and how to transfer your motivation to others.
But there is another way of transforming your motivation to others that doesn't take much explaining. It's surprisingly simple, easy to use, and effective. Yet few leaders I've encountered use it, and those who use it, don't use it well.
