By definition a successful manager is one who gets the most productivity from the people who report to them. No matter what industry you are in, there is one key to getting the very most from your personnel. If you understand the motivation, what really drives each individual toward success, and you know how to use this information, then you will see consistently higher levels of productivity. This is an obvious statement, but implementation can be more challenging.Every manager wants to use successful motivation techniques to drive production. These techniques should be a part of a long term strategy, and so, should not use negative short term threats if you want to retain your best personnel and nurture their productivity over time. Threats of time pressure and “take away’s” are not the best management tools in most situations, especially where you are trying to b

I’m doing a sales turnaround assessment and planning project right now for a company that’s lost a large percentage of it’s sales in the last year. The CEO has come to us and asked us to help him devise a strategy to quickly get revenues back up to their previous levels. The company is losing money and while it has scaled back on it’s employee headcount and other costs, it’s still struggling to get close to breaking even. The company needs an immediate sales fix.As most people know, there is no such thing as a quick fix when it comes to boosting revenues and accelerating sales. It takes time to design and execute a sales turnaround strategy. A lot of time the sales cycle itself can be the biggest impediment. Even when management knows what to do and how to do it, it still takes time to boost your top line revenues. Even worse, when management is either in den

Where did the weekend go? It’s Sunday night and although you had a lovely time leaving your butt imprint on the couch for the last 48 hours, suddenly there’s a lurch in the pit of your stomach again. Yes, looming on the horizon, there is it, another Monday morning. Another Monday, you’ll face the gridlock and angrily express your dismay with the world with one finger and clutch the huge cup of coffee that you’ll need to drag yourself through the bore that is your job. The highlight of your day, other than seeing the clock hit 4:59 will of course be the secret glee you have knowing that you’ve spent hours of company time playing Solitaire and sending out countless resumes. You know you’re a lousy employee, but in a tight job market, with younger and more qualified applicants taking greeter jobs at Wal-Mart, is it really time to find a new job?If loving what you

Thinking about trends is a fruitful way of thinking about your strategy. In fact you need to set your plans aside and concentrate on the world outside you. Not that you wouldn't normally do but now in a different way.There are however trends and hypes. A trend is a fundamental movement. A hype is a artificial one. In investment terms, a trend would be supported by a fundamental movement, a hype is a technical wave that could or could not have a fundamental backup.Digging behind the drive of a trend is also about finding solutions for “problems”. A solution is something that is built. A problem can be anything. A marketplace on internet is a solution, the problem is how (and where) do people meet for all kind of purposes? A marketplace, a business directory, they are all very “easy” solutions, not really expensive, to be established without a lot of capital,
