    An Office Hierarchy Guideline
    Dictator, Imperial or democratic are different types of administration for many different countries in the world. All of them have one thing in common. There is always one person at the top. The difference lies in how the delegation of power is distributed & the structure of its hierarchy.The above analogy can be applied to an office environment. There is the main boss, principal or Chief Executive Officer (C.E.O.), the upper management, lower management, & the normal workers. Different companies may have different management styl
    Back, (maybe I should say "way back") in the '80's, as a senior manager in Hewlett Packard Ltd.,UK, I was regularly asked to give talks to groups from both the public and private sectors.

    The most common themes were People Development, Performance Appraisal, Continuous Improvement and "Managing Change"

    I suppose it would be fair to say that my 'presentations' and discussions were somewhat animated with a great deal of walking about and mingling with the audience. So much so that I could not get comfortable with overheads and tended to use two flipcharts on which I could prepare key messages on one and take notes on the other especially when important points were made or questions were not answered fully.

    It would also be fair to say that after a while the talks became routine and I always welcomed a challenging group with whom we could have a lively discussion instead of a one-way presentation.

    The Question That Almost Threw Me

    On one occasion, I had just been introduced and had given a brief overview of the session to a group of around a couple of hundred members of the police force, when this sergeant in the front row piped up...

    "What gives you the right to talk about managing change?"

    Wow! Did that stop me in my tracks.

    Are Your Cleaning Customers Motivated by Quality or Price?
    You don't have to be running your own business for very long to find out that customers are different when it comes to what they expect out of a cleaning service. There are those customers who want the best, no matter what the cost. On the other end of the spectrum are price conscious customers who are more concerned with how their cleaning expenses fit into their overall budget than anything else. Marketing to these two distinctly different groups can indeed be a challenge.What are the differences between the "budget conscious" a

    Know The Power of Your Words
    Know The Power of Your Words When is the last time you gave your business a good self examine? If its been awhile then it might be time and in doing so one of the most important questions you can ask is simply: Are you what you say you are?

  • Left home at sixteen
  • Father died when I was twenty one
  • Mother died a few years later
  • Engaged three times
  • Went through very difficult and painful divorce
  • Married twice
  • Moved from Scotland to England (Serious change situation!!!)
  • Almost bankrupted
  • Promoted within the department
  • Promoted to a different department function


  • "All I can say, sergeant, is that any one of the items on the list can be a significant change situation. Certainly some may be perceived as more serious than others but all change situations need the appropriate due care and attention, especially when they involve others"

    While we continued with the discussion following the rest of the presentation part, it became clear that there was a general perception that change or the management of it wasn't a problem for companies such as Hewlett Packard compared to the public sector.

    I had never worked in the public sector and, therefore, wasn't prepared to comment other than to summarise by making the following key points...

    Yes, we were looked after. Yes, we did have an excellent working environment. Yes, we did have a superb range of benefits. However all of that would pale into insignificance if a change situation wasn't managed properly.
