Managing People; Living the ValuesThere has been an unedifying politicised debate in Australia about Australian values. It is a debate about who has them, who does not and seeks to ostracise those who are considered not to have them.It is a debate where the majority of the participants have demonstrated the values of ignorance, intolerance, opportunism and political wilfulness whilst claiming to support values of fairness, mateship and egalitarianism.That's the problem with values. They are demonstrated by what we do, not by what we say.ation, creativity, innovation, and learning new skills. Our communication skills are stimulated and enhanced. Bridges are built between people who were once estranged. Conflict surfaces and is resolved.

Sales Management and Leadership - They Aren't the Same!Today Sales Managers usually have two roles. First, they have to manage and administer the sales team. Second, they are also expected to demonstrate Leadership of the sales team. These are two different roles.Most Sales Managers are trained in the management and administration skills, but few are taught Leadership. They are simply expected to Lead – a very poor and risky strategy.I want to discuss General Leadership development first.Leadership – Setting Visions/Goals and then empowering and mot Remember playing in your childhood sandbox? If you enjoyed being outside for most of the day, you could play in the sandbox for hours on end—shaping and pouring the sand or mixing it with a little water to form a castle or hill. Children enjoy playing with sand or dirt and learn at an early age how to make the most of this play time activity.Playing in a sandbox usually starts out as a solitary exercise; however, smart parents know that in order to develop their child’s ability to relate to others, another child or two must be introduced into that same sandbox. This is when the fun truly begins. When children play together in the same sandbox:
- They learn to trust each other.
- Their ability to be gentle, kind and considerate is developed.
- Friendships are initiated and nurtured.
- Positive interaction increases and selfishness decreases.
- They find creative ways to work together, satisfying their curiosity and increasing their enjoyment and fun.
You’re Never Too Old for the Sandbox There’s a tremendous amount of pressure as we grow older to learn to act our age (whatever that means). In fact, most people consider age a number not an indication of vitality, health or maturity. Nevertheless, too many of us leave the things of childhood behind us. This is both good and bad. It is good to leave childish behavior behind, but bad when we discard many childlike behaviors that can make us successful adults. One such childlike behavior is learning how to develop reliable relationships with others through experiences in the same sandbox that teach us how to cooperate, exchange ideas, and communicate. When we play together in the same sandbox at work:
- It is important to know and understand the rules and limitations of play; but when we take the time to do so, we find that it is fun to mix with others, develop positive peer relationships naturally, and to encourage a spirit of lighthearted camaraderie.
- We learn to practice balanced self-control—the right combination of expressing our opinions and feelings when facing difficult or unexpected events. Our sensitivity to and concern for others is demonstrated as we attempt to understand their perspectives.
- We willingly let down our guards and shift our mindsets to try new and fresh ways of doing old tasks. We bask in the energy boost that results from experimentation, creativity, innovation, and learning new skills.
- Our communication skills are stimulated and enhanced. Bridges are built between people who were once estranged. Conflict surfaces and is resolved.

Free SamplesFree samples are products or services provided to a potential customer to allow them to try the product or service without charge. The ultimate aim of providing free samples to customers is to persuade them to buy a product. This is one of the most effective promotional tools available, as customers can check the quality of the product or service before they decide to buy. However, this tool can be used only if the product or service can be given as a sample in small quantities and if the business does not have to spend lay together in the same sandbox:
