Add You - Seven Tips to Bring You and Your Staff to Their Full Potential
Is your brand alive? I ask that because most companies operate as if their company or product brand was some fixed, static concept in their customer's mind. They may feel they already "own" a position in their customer's mind such as the quality producer, or the price leader, or the supreme service provider -- and that may be true. But what many business owners don't realize, is that a brand is actually a living, fluid perception... one that fluctuates from day to day. In essence, it's more of an evolving, growing entity than a fixed and static "thing". So if branding is living, dynamic and vital, what are you doing to nourish and grow it? And when I say nourish, I'm talking about monitoring, tending, caring and watching over it. So

One of the most important decisions entrepreneurs make is how to legally set up their businesses. The choice can be a wise move or a costly mistake with regard to taxes paid, protection from liability, and the amount of resultant flexibility in running the operation.The initial choice of a business form, even if it achieves optimum results in the start-up phase, may require adjustment or alteration as the business matures. It is important to periodically re-examine the appropriateness of the type selected. Below is a description and a comparison of the advantages and disadvantages of each form of organization.Sole ProprietorshipFor an individual who wants to keep the operation small and sim
The following seven tips are what I believe are the specific ingredients in bringing the leader and his or her staff to their full potential:
1. Leadership – Being an effective leader helps you and your staff as they look to you for all of the specifics in getting their work done, as with items that follow and more. Allow your staff to think on their own, have trust in them for accomplishing the tasks assigned to them, and in return you will find that managing your employees will help them perform at their optimum level. The job of the leader is to help increase their staff’s effectiveness and to recognize and work to improve whatever limitations affect individual’s performance.
2. Communication – As a leader, talk to your staff and share with them how best to get the task or project done. In doing so, use optimism to motivate and inspire your staff and most importantly, ask your staff for suggestions on how they would get the task accomplished. Having clear expectations and direction from the leader is important so the staff can understand what they are expected to do. The leader is then able to give support to their team to get the job done more efficiently and with less stress and strain on the leader or their staff.
3. Empowering Employees – Allowing your staff to take responsibility and make decisions on their own is what many consider as a boost of self-confidence to employees. Getting your staff more involved in the work they do gives them a sense of accomplishment and helps them build up their self-esteem. Recognize their limitations and assign them tasks where they can use their strengths.

We all know the story. Your boss is smart, dynamic, stylish and successful. You feel great when he smiles at you after you've impressed him. He believes in mentoring and guiding you to bring out your very best and he's not shy about praising you when you deliver. Then, after one too many late nights in the office working on that special project, he starts to drive you absolutely crazy. You want him, oh dear, and how. What should you do?Take stockAssess the situation. Ask yourself: Is it really a good idea to make a move on the boss? Is he even interested in you? Is he actually available? How would the rest of the office react if something did happen? How would this affect your career? Is this a risk that is actually worth taking?Rea

Stories can inspire or deceive; motivate or manipulate; challenge or deflate; persuade or console; unite or divide; ignite or resolve; anger or connect. But, none of this is new news. Stories are everywhere, all the time. In the papers we read, in the content we watch or listen to, and in the places we frequent. That includes our workplaces. And we're all storytellers.The stories we choose to tell about ourselves and others impact how we're perceived at work: team player or not team player; victim or problem-solver; resilient or discouraged; approachable or distant. They impact what work culture we help create: trusting or distrusting; silos or teams; soul-enhancing or soul-depleting. And most importantly they impact how we see ourselves. Our cho

IntroductionStudies have shown that large numbers of organisations aim to introduce some form of structured change or improvement programme each year (in some studies this can be as high as 60-70% of all organisations), but few of these programmes will achieve changes that are sustainable. Many of the change programmes invested in by organisations across a wide range of sectors will actually end up costing more than they deliver in the way of improvements, although they may appear for a short time to have delivered some improvement or even provide a ‘sticking plaster’ temporary solution to a key organizational issue.Our own research (originally based on 120 manufacturing companies but now tested on the NHS and Service Sector) shows
4. Talented Employees – Attracting and retaining talented people with exceptional skills is necessary for any organization and is a problem for many. The demand of hiring talented employees is extremely competitive. In finding new employees, or even in keeping the employees you already have, evaluate each person to see if it is worth your while and theirs in training them for challenging tasks that they will be required do. Developing untapped employee potential is a key competitive advantage for any organization. As a return-on-investment, developing your staff’s skills motivates them toward job satisfaction, as they prefer job challenges to performing the same functions week after week and year after year.
5. Emotional Intelligence – You can easily stick with the way you have done things in the past. But having your staff members shift gears in using their “emotional intelligence” skills assists them when it comes to excelling in their job or being “star performers.” Emotional Intelligence is defined as each staff member and leader having a set of competencies to develop and apply their “people skills” effectively. There are several emotional intelligence skills that affect all aspects of work, and they include: self-confidence, self-control, conscientiousness, adaptability, innovativeness, commitment, initiative, optimism, understanding others, conflict management skills, team capabilities, communication, and the ability to initiate or manage change. Team members clearly understand reactions and how to channel their energy into more productive results.
6. Recognition – Give your staff praise and positive feedback when it is appropriate. Through genuine appreciation, recognize the positive behaviors and achievements of your employees. Look for ways to increase employee motivation by recognizing excellence in the workpl
