Managing People; Living the Values
There 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.No matter which community we belong to, whether it is our family, our school, our club or our employing organisation, we cannot escape demonstrating our values each day.Our values come from our beliefs which form generally at an early age dependent on our experiences and upbringing and it is difficult to impose them upon us.My school had a statement about values incorporat

How To Choose Your Career - A Little Like Choosing Your Life's Partner
Introduction - Case StudyWhen my daughter Meredith (in her late twenties) asked me about starting up a boutique recently, the best advice I could give her was to say nothing. I must admit that I didn't really remember what a boutique was. Sure, I knew it was a shop, but the exact type of shop eluded me. So instead of embarassing myself by letting her know that her infallible, omniscient father really isn't the fountain of all wisdom as she thinks, I searched the Internet for a suitable source of information. (Ain't the net grand?)I eventually bought her an ebook titled, "FabJob Guide to Become a Boutique Owner" written by Debbra Mikaelsen, who has, according to the book, "been a fashion industry consultant for the last eight years, and has been working in fashion design and production since 1986."

One of the reasons target setting is so hard, is that human emotion is left out of the equation.Introduction - Case StudyWhen my daughter Meredith (in her late twenties) asked me about starting up a boutique recently, the best advice I could give her was to say nothing.

Sun Zi Art of War - Three Ways How Top Management Can Affect Middle Management's Effectiveness
There are three ways in which the ruler can adversely affect his army’s campaign. The ruler gave advance order, without knowing that his army should not advance. The ruler gave the retreat order, without knowing that his army should not retreat. This is equivalent to interfering or hindering military command and movement. The ruler ignorant of the army affairs, participate and interfere in its affairs. This causes confusion in the officers and men. The ruler ignorant of the command system and authority within the army, interfere in the execution of responsibilities. This causes apprehension and suspicion among officers and men. If the army is caught in confusion and apprehension, the neighboring warlords may take the opportunity to attack. It is like using a confused and chaotic army to entice your enemy to attack you. - Chapter 3, Sun Zi Art of WarFrom the above, we can see that there
