Managing: New Managers are Usually Too Hard on Themselves
Moving from staff into management for the first time is exciting—but it can also be scary.There’s so much you don’t know. Somehow managing looked so easy from the outside, but now that you actually have to do it, you realize it’s more complicated than you thought. Before, you had certain tasks to accomplish and you knew you had the skills to do them. You still have responsibility for those tasks, but now you have to see that the work is done effectively by other people. That’s a whole new task in itself, and you’re not sure you’re up to the job.You also find that it’s hard to concentrate on the planning that is such an important part of managing, because emergencies large and small seem to arise all the time and people keep running to you to r

Diversity
I know that diversity has been a big topic of conversation ever since the early 1990s when research supported the demographics that by the year 2000, 85% of the entering workforce would be female, African-American, Asian-American, Latino, or new immigrants. The fact that white males would be a minority entering the workplace was a wake up call for corporate America.How have we done sine then? I suggest that there has been definite improvement in the area of hiring but it seems that once women and minorities are hired, there are informal, relatively unconscious systems in place that prevent advancement of the minority worker or women, even today.If there is to be a true advancement in the area of valuing diversity, then the system must be revised so that the

Cholesterol is Like the Calibre of Staff
Cholesterol is like the calibre of staff. LDLs are the dysfunctional staff and the HDL the good ones cleaning up the mess left by the LDLs. The human body requires some cholesterol to function properly. These cholesterol – “good” (high density lipoprotein or HDL) and “bad” (low density lipoprotein or LDL) ones – are found in all cells which help to carry fats in the body.Similarly, in every organisation, there are two categories of employees. There are the “bad cholesterol” employees as well as the “good cholesterol” employees. Those in the first category, the “bad cholesterol” are not natural self-starters and they require prodding by some external forces from the environment before they are compelled towards achieving certain goals.Too much of bad c

A Solo-Entrepreneur Syndrome - Do You Stop and Don't Know it?
Are you stopping ... and don't know it? Are you stopping ... and don't show it? If you're stopping ... you won't grow it? So STOP it!Sound a little corny? Well, it's really not. I was working on a product recently and continued to re-record 1 section to the point it was getting out of hand. I kept saying, "Why do I keep messing this up -- why can't I be done?" Then I realized -- I didn't want it to be done because that means I would need to launch it. That means I need to show it to the world. I had no idea I was stopping in the form of "perfection" with my recording.Another reason for stopping; those infamous doubtful voices. I bet you think I'm just beginning in my business...hardly! I've been in business since 1999 and it still amazes me that I can get s
