Here are my top ten failures I observe of employees, like us.

1. Continuing in a job I dislike
I stay in a job which does not suit me. I always ask myself, "What am I good at?" and, "What do I enjoy?", but I do nothing about the answers.

I do not seek and secure a job that has at least some of the elements of the answers. I miss the opportunity to shine in a job that I will enjoy and thereby advance my career and remuneration.

2. Never asking questions
The boss asks me to do something. I leave their office not understanding what they really wanted. Or I leave the office thinking I know exactly what they wanted. In either case I did not ask a clarifying question.

Performance Management Consulting
Certain enterprises change much more rapidly than others. The rate of change is an important determinant of the degree to which policies can be formulated and the stability of policies maintained. It may explain the organization structure of companies- railroad, banking and public utility companies, for example- operating with wide spans of management or, on the other hand, the very narrow span of management used by General Eisenhower during world war second.The effect of slow change on policy formulation and on subordinate training is dramatically shown in the organization of the Roman Catholic Church.

Competition or Companion?
Joint ventures can turn your competition into your companion!What are they and are they profitable?You can benefit greatly from sharing the costs of your advertising and promotional campaigns, while doubling the size of your target market.How can that be so? It’s simple! just look at it like this, you are in the coffee business, you have identified your major competitor, he/she is currently servicing a good portion of the customers you wish to attract. This competitor has been servicing these clients for many years and has built up a strong following. Do you think it would be easy for you to “take th

Illusion In Advertisement
Disappointed consumers often accuse advertisers of making false promises, distorting facts, and even lying. These consumers, are more often than not, mistaken in thinking promises were made or facts were given in the advertisement that lured them into buying a particular product. Expert advertisers do not need to lie or make promises to us, for they know exactly how to make us think we hear promises or facts that are not actually stated.Advertisers know what we want. They also know how to make us want what they are trying to sell. Just as a magician uses props to make the audience believe that something is happe

Managing People - Setting Boundaries
Boundary setting is something one expects to find in a parenting book or a psychologist's journal. However, it applies to adult to adult relationships at work as much as it does to adult to child relationships.In almost any workplace, for any given behaviour required to deliver an organsation's goal, people can be split into three groups.One group is those that are both willing and able to perform and behave in a manner which contributes positively to the desired goal of the organisation.Another group is those who are unwilling to contribute to the desired goal of the organisation even if they are ab
lly wanted. Or I leave the office thinking I know exactly what they wanted. In either case I did not ask a clarifying question.

What is the end result? The majority of times I deliver something back which requires a major revision or is completely off track. The reason I did not ask questions in the first place is some misplaced view about how competent I might be seen if I ask clarifying questions.

Returning time and again with work which requires revision, leaves people in no doubt about my competence.

5. Never saying, "I don't know"
Pride or fear stop me from saying to the boss, "I don't know" to a question which requires a factual answer. I either make a best guess or I pick an answer I have a vague recollection of from another conversation I had with another colleague.

"I don't know, but I'll find out", is an answer I find difficult to say; even though coming back within a short time with a more considered answer saves time and rework.

6. Always managing upwards
