Making Benefits Work for You
Last week, I mentioned that the cost of employee turnover is about 25% of that person’s annual salary. I did some additional research and discovered that said 25% only applies to low-level employees who do not come in contact with customers. The cost of replacing people who do come in contact with customers is much higher, especially if the person in question is good at it. When it come

What do you think of when you hear the word blister? My thoughts turn to poor preparation and the reason for this sales lesson. I have a blister from ignoring the basics of hiking. A Blister is a painful lesson for anything that comes your way.

We were in Tucson, Arizona staying with friends. We talked about their community pool the night before. Early morning I grabbed a water bottle, cell phone, and hat and walked out the door in a t-shirt and swim trunks. I calculated that a 15 minute walk to the pool would be a refreshing morning adventure. The sandals I wore were the same ones that took me on a long hike in Hawaii a few years ago. Deciding a map of the community wasn't needed, I started my trek. Soon, everything started to look the same and I was lost. My feet grew tired of the journey and the po

In Leadership, The Critical Convergence Drives Great Results
The Leader's Fallacy lives! We subscribe to the Fallacy when we believe our enthusiasm over a particular leadership challenge is automatically reciprocated by the people we lead.If ignorance is bliss then leaders going around blithely adhering to the Leader's Fallacy have cornered the market on happiness.The truth is, it's more realistic to believe in INVERSE RECIPROCITY:

Adapting to Change is Equally Important as Adopting Change
Making changes to improve the overall success of your business should be applauded. It takes a lot of time, dedication, money, and just plain guts to alter the way a business functions; especially in the case of organizational overhauls such as is the case with Six Sigma. When done properly, changes can lead to greater production, happier employees, superior quality, and a better bott

Incredibly Dumb Things Smart Business Owners Do When They Try To Get Free Publicity
There’s an unwritten "code of ethics" out there that dictates the guidelines the media expects savvy publicists to follow. Certain do’s and don’ts that keep the amateurs out of the "club". More than a few well-intentioned businessmen owners trying to lobby for free publicity have been caught in the tangled web of protocol violations.As crazy as it may sound, the most comm

Custom Trade Show Displays and Custom Trade Show Signs
There are many trade show displays that offer a custom look, but are produced from stock exhibit material. These displays are designed with many configurable options such as monitor mounts, literature holders, recessed lighting, counter systems, and kiosks. In most cases, these components can be positioned almost anywhere on the display, which allows these ready made solutions to appear

ding a map of the community wasn't needed, I started my trek. Soon, everything started to look the same and I was lost. My feet grew tired of the journey and the pool that should have been there, must have moved. As the sun rose, the heat began to take its toll on my ill prepared feet and the fun journey became a blistering challenge.

I never reached the pool and realized that one right turn sealed my fate of walking in a big circle. Ultimately, the 15 minute walk became a 2 hour hike that blistered my feet.

Not having a map sealed my fate of never reaching my destination.
Not having the right footwear for the right terrain created blisters.
Not preparing for a longer walk made the hike a losing proposition.
