Add You - A Manager's 2006 New Year's Resolution
Do you want the good news or bad news first?One of the common errors poor managers make today is to shoot the messenger who brings them bad news. These managers typically want nothing but good news. They often see the bearer of bad news as negative, not a team player or a troublemaker. Their attitude is often:·You are always negative.·You are always complaining.·You are never happy.·You are a pain in the _ _ _I will agree that some employees fit one or all of the above characterizations – from time to time however when you have an employee bring you bad news, do you typically :·thank them·criticize them·ignore them·berate them·listen to them·encourage them to tell you more·listen to them·other_______________________The point is, the closer you are to reality (either with a situation inside the organization or outside with c

IntroductionBroadly speaking, our life can be divided into two parts:1) Personal, Private or Family Life and2) Career or Professional LifeEach of the above two can be further divided into different stages. The various stages of Private Life are: Infant, Child, Adolescent, and Adult (Husband / Wife), Parents, Feeder / Earner / Developer and Counselor / Guide / Mentor. Similarly, in a professional life, the different stages that we can have are: Trainee (Learner); 1st Level Executer; 1st Level Administrator / Organizer (Team Leader); Manager; Strategist; Chief Executor (CEO); Chief Administrator (CAO or COO); Corporate / Industry/ Business Leader; Coach; Mentor. In both the situations, it is very difficult to move from one stage (or role) to another; one needs to be mentally, emotionally and psychologically prepared for it. It is only due to the insecurity of an individual, his or her inefficiency to m
And for many managers, public relations may be a good place to prepare such a 2006 New Year’s Resolution. For example, it’s hard to ignore the fact that many business, non-profit, government agency and association managers harbor a single-minded preoccupation with simple communications tactics like press releases, broadcast plugs, special events and brochures, which denies them the best that public relations has to offer.
Instead, in 2006, they might resolve to use a strategic PR plan that alters the individual perception of members of a manager’s MOST important outside audiences. This starts the process of changing their behaviors by actually persuading many of those key, outside folks to a manager’s way of thinking. Then, he/she helps move audience members to take actions that allow that manager’s department, group, division or subsidiary to succeed.

This article is going to deal with the practice, nuts-and-bolts aspects of this writing. Tomorrow, I’ll be writing about how to incorporate information into the letter. But there are certain tricks you need to know about writing these letters, and that’s what we’re going to deal with now.The most important thing you can do is read what the publication says about writing letters. This is the easiest part, but the one that people often ignore. And if you ignore their rules, the publication may ignore your letter. The rules are usually not complicated, and not hard to comply with. And considering that the publication is going to be giving you free publicity, help yourself -- and them -- out by listening to what they ask you to do. And a
