Answer You - 7 Management Malpractices
If you use business cards, you've probably thought about printing your own. After all, you own an inkjet printer, a computer, and some graphics software. How hard could it be to save a few bucks?To check out how well this works in practice, my employees and I conducted a small experiment. We created 3 batches of business cards, using 3 different techniques.The first technique was fairly straightforward: We took the business card down to our neighborhood print shop, and asked them to print up some more. We brought a blown up copy of our logo, which served as “camera r
6. If you are not sure whether or not you’ll have a job when you get back, you don’t have one anyways. You are just taking up space. Get proactive, face the music and determine if you are in the wrong place, wrong company, wrong profession or wrong frame of mind. Then fix it. Write down what you need to do, and get it done. The universe rewards action!
7. If you are always apologizing first, (which is what that statement really is, the beginning of an apology), you are not Managing. You have become, through Complacency Osmosis, a “Window Watcher.” (Complacency Osmosis is what happens when you are lulled into doing nothing by constantly referring to pa
Credit cards have been used for the last fifty years, but there are major credit card companies that have led the way. American Express, Diners Club, Visa, and MasterCard were the initial major credit cards, going nation-wide in the 1960’s. The credit card itself has an individual credit card number which identifies which company or bank issued the card, and the cardholder’s individual credit card account number.The back of your major credit cards have a magnetic stripe that is called a magstripe. The magnetic particles that make up the stripe can hold a lot of informati
1. You cannot name your employees and refer to everyone as “Buddy” or “Chief.”
2. You know what the company’s goals are for the year yet you cannot tell anyone what your goals are.
3. Every time an employee comes to your door and knocks, you think they will ask for a raise or time off.
4. You cannot name the last book you read that pertained to your profession.
5. Whenever there is a crisis or a hot situation to handle, everyone assumes someone will get fired.
6. Every time you go on vacation, you assume that you will be fired.
7. All of your conversations with your boss start with “We’ve had a meeting and everyone is now in line with the company mission” or something like that.
If some of these 7 have hit home, read on for the cure.
1. Know by name everyone in your department. Know their spouse's names. Their grandchildren's, dog's, cat's and even the goldfish's name. If you know them that well it means that you care. And when you show that you care, they will respect you for it. And respect leads to teamwork and accomplishment.
2. If you have not made a list of goals for yourself, you can bet that everyone in your department has not done it either. Which means what you ask? It means not one person has a stake in what is going on with you, the company or themselves. And people without a track to follow, are more difficult to lead. Make a goal, just one, and ask all of your employees to do the same, and then start working on it, together!
3. If you are only talking to your employees about raises and time off, what is going on in your department that you are not aware of? Everything Else! This means you need to get involved again, in Everything Else! Start with one on one interviews, say 15-20 minutes, ask for real feedback! Instead of starting out with “We need to talk, do you have a minute?” try something like “I have not been communicating very well lately and I feel out of touch with you what you would like to accomplish. Can you tell me a little of what you think we could do together around here?” or (if you really want it straight) “I screwed up, and I'm trying to fix it. Would you please help?"
4. Read More! About what you do! And then encourage others to read more about what they do. Just because you work someplace and have been there for 20 years, doesn’t mean you know all you can about what you do. Every successful businessman, athlete, actor, you name it, has a coach. I have a coach. And I Read! Read! Read! So, make a commitment to read just 20 minutes a day, anywhere, (even if it is the bathroom), and get ahead of the power curve.
5. If the answer to unpleasant situation in your company is to fire someone as a result of that situation, that is serious Management Malpractice. You had better first look at your mission statement, goals and training to get a handle on this one, because if that is your "go to" answer, it’s wrong! Plain and Simple. Most people will work because they need a job, and don’t want to have to find another one. They will put up with a whole heap of stuff. However, if your fix is to continually replace rather than diagnose and repair, you are not Managing properly, and your turnover rate is too high. People vote with their feet and their constant leaving will vote you out of office! Start with your mission statement, make sure it’s defined, make your goal statement and then your training plan. If someone needs to go, they go. Just make sure you are not using the "removal option" in lieu of effective Management on your part.

What’s no bigger than a flip phone comes in fashion colors and can weigh up to 50 grams with .01g accuracy? Don’t look now, but the traditional jeweler’s traveling scale is all fashioned out and style conscious. Pocket scales, used by jewelers, hunters and field investigators for dozens of uses, have taken the same route that turned cell phones into fashion accessories. You can now buy pocket scales that weigh less than a pound and are the size of a small flip phone – yet still promise to weigh substances with accuracy up to .01g – one hundredth of a gram. They come tricked out in

An interviewer's life is not always a happy one. In the thick of the action, people to see and truth - not lies - to get from them.And then to make a pretty important judgement of the capability of the individual. It's a tough life on the end of an assessment sheet!So, the big opportunity for you is to get in there and make their life so much easier. By doing this, not only will you stand a far better chance of being successful, because you get to tell your story, but you will also get them onside for you when it matters.And, did I mention that you will go int

If you have ever simply watched people at work you will find that many often come in late or miss work entirely for days on end. We may be able to draw a connection in our reasoning that says all these people showing up 10 minutes late can add up to lots of lost revenue for the company. The problem is how to control attendance issues and still treat everyone fairly?A CCH study on unexcused absenteeism indicates that 83% of employers feel that unexcused absenteeism will continue to rise. The problem is that absenteeism costs have been growing which now range around $800 per
