Atricle Dump - Your Boss…Your Buddy…Where to Mark the Boundary?
In 2005 some ten millions residents of the USA were victims of identity theft with each one losing an average of about $7,000.Clearing their name can take each victim a year during which time they’ll spend some 200 hours working on the problem (writing letters, making phone calls, etc.) at a personal cost of over $1,000 in expenses. That’s over a month of full time employment.Even then a quarter of all victims will not succeed in clearing their name.So how do identity thieves steal the personal information they use to such devastating effect?Identity thieves will steal your mail, search through your trash, steal from your home, steal your purse or wallet.An
Now, the important question…why your friend (Relative, Acquaintance) wants you to work for him? I can recollect three reasons…
1. He wants to use you as a source of information. He might feel that having you in department will be an edge for him…in making his own position stronger in the organization.
2. He must be expecting high-loyalty from you.
3. His position in the o
Business-to-business and business-to-consumer firms are slow to adopt local search tools into their Internet strategy. About half of all search-engine users utilize search engines to find local products and services. By far, the most-common search phrase is “industry” plus “location.” With so few sellers doing local search-engine marketing, new local customers are there for the taking.It is not enough for SEM’s to know all the latest and greatest techniques and trends. Technical proficiency alone will not convince companies with traditional sales and marketing models to establish new budget categories and launch untested programs. For that to happen, SEM’s need to: Focus the client o
Now, the question here is…
1. How close you should go…to your boss or in contrary, how close should you, as a boss…goes to your subordinate?
2. What are the intentions of that person to hire you as his sub-ordinate?
3. What goes into your mind, when you accept the offer…from an organization where your friend is your boss?
4. What you should share and what you should not?
These and many more are the questions…that we come across in your career…when we get our buddy as our boss. We will be discussing some of the points…in this write-up…along with few examples.
Let me remind you…if your boss is too close to you…he will not be able to get the things done, because in India, most of the people are not self-disciplined and at most of the time…discipline need to be enforced. On the contrary, he is strict…you will call him as “Hitler” or something. In one of my pervious assignment…once we were discussing about “Departmental Picnic” and our boss rejected our suggestion…by giving the following reason, “Why should I take you to picnic? Tomorrow, I will take you for picnic…we will enjoy together…dance together and then the very next day when we will come to office…I need to get the things done. I will shout at you…might get angry…or upset. Then, you people will say that I have double standards.”
As a boss, one should be close enough to his team
1. To give them comfort
2. To be democratic enough to listen to your ideas
3. To let you speak
4. Appreciate your work and motivate you to take new challenges
What else, …do you expect anything more from your boss? Eating together occasionally; at times…sharing some personal experiences etc etc etc.

All larger companies and all those who have been in the market for several business cycles are prone to an (identity) crisis. Corporate identity and the product of the company are related. This is quite important when dealing with change.In his book – “let’s make things better,” Marcel Metze writes about the Philips culture which is centered around engineers on one side and salesmen on the other; some how these two groups keep the organization in balance.For those of you how know Philips know that this company “makes things,” it operates in consumer electronics, appliances, medical systems or in general in a wide area of products that require a design (which is sales centered)

Part 2 of Having Your Successful BusinessHow do they do it? Some people just have a knack for achieving whatever they set their mind to. In this section, I’m going to tell you why successful people begin to surpass their own expectations…and how you can to!One of the first things you won’t pick up on when speaking with these people is how they start conversation. “Hey, how are you doing?” Simple enough. We all do that. But stop and listen further.“How’s the family”, “How are things at work”, etcetera. They have mastered the art of conversation. Secret number one exposed: They are more concerned with YOU than themselves.Makes sense doesn’t it? What do peopl

You might be new in this company and what is being practiced in your previous company might not be applicable to the present company. It has been a practice to present corporate gifts to almost everyone that has to do with the company; here are some that you should consider on giving a gift, partners, employees, customers and associates.When thinking about the corporate gifts make sure that it is in the corporate budget and use it as a business expense to show appreciation for the hard work of the employees and key customers. There are so many gifts on the market today and with so many choices it sometimes easier to go with something simple like a gift basket with a theme. Trends have
Now, the important question…why your friend (Relative, Acquaintance) wants you to work for him? I can recollect three reasons…
1. He wants to use you as a source of information. He might feel that having you in department will be an edge for him…in making his own position stronger in the organization.
2. He must be expecting high-loyalty from you.
3. His position in the organization is not very strong and he wants to play politics in the organization, by keeping you in the midst of the things.
Why you like to join your friend ((Relative, Acquaintance)…and agrees to work under him? Here also I can recollect two reasons…
1. Having your friend as your boss…will give you ample of opportunity to grow. You might think that he will give to you all-important assignments.
2. He will send you for all assignments; seminars etc
3. If your friend is your boss…he might tolerate your indiscipline, give you enough of time and space. At times, if you don’t work also, he will not say anything and things like that.
Let me know, if any of the above mentioned point in invalid or you think is not properly justified.
As a sub-ordinate at times, we consider the appreciation, acceptance, and favoritism from our boss as closeness. I think, we should not do that and that is where your self-discipline and professional attitude comes into picture. You should be matured enough to not to let any appreciation or accolade or celebration to get into your head and at the same time your should not let any negativism or rejection or insult to dome your motivation.
As a boss, I might be interested in knowing who’s who of your family, but nothing more than that. Now read this conversation between Rajshekhar, the boss and Kavita her subordinate;
Rajshekhar: Kavita, this time we are having a long weekend, so what are your plans?
Kavita: Nothing great Raj, will be just going to visit my relatives.
RS: Hmmm. Ok. I understand that your have been married for three years now, so what is your plans for marriage? Is everything OK?
K: (With some shyness)…yeah. Things are OK but as you know that my Husband is in US for some on-site assignment…for last 10 moths for so.
RS: Hmmm. Very difficult, isn’t it? How do you manage without him?
