    Mission and Vision Statements for Leaders
    Why have them and who are they for?Navigating through the current business climate is difficult enough without having co-workers or clients at odds with your business purpose and desired future. Satisfied workers and customers support an enterprise whose mission and vision will let them know they want to get involved with you. Be sure to give your fellow workers and clients or owners a mission they want to follow and a vision for a successful future.What's included in these statements?<

    Identifying High Potential Leaders
    Attracting and retaining high quality leaders is a challenge for many organisations. Organisations are finding it harder to attract suitable applicants for leadership positions. Further, many people who take on leadership roles fail to flourish in their new positions. Rather, despite their hard work and best efforts, they are mediocre leaders, who often do not enjoy the demands of the role. Many talented staff do not have the tendencies that fit or suit the role of a leader. Competitive organisations achieve leadership density through iden
    As I've gone to professional meetings, and have informal meetings with colleagues, the tenor of these times is clear.

    Beware of poking a hole in your net as you increase your networking. Make sure you don't make these mistakes in your zeal to sell yourself.

In a flash, she realized one of her new acquaintances was a close personal friend of a business owner she had been unsuccessful in selling on her services.

    When Managers Become Hamlets
    This alludes to the famous play "Hamlet" by Shakespeare. Hamlet was a character who was highly indecisive about what he wanted to do and always mulled over things while taking a decision and many a times avoided or delayed taking decisions. This could mean disaster if applied in case of a working manager as he has to be on his toes and take fast decisions. This is more relevant today when the whole world is a market and even a momentary indecisiveness could result in millions being lost in the trade. Decision Making We all make decisions of varyi

    Companies Go Green with Bluetooth Marketing
    Bluetooth-based marketing represents a dramatic shift in modern advertising. As paper publications dwindle in readership, and magazines become increasingly online exclusives, advertisers must adapt to paperless approaches in an effort to keep up with their clientele. Additionally, the long-term consequences of print advertising in a consumerist culture could be devastating in both environmental and financial costs.Consumers are becoming evermore eco-friendly and are growing to appreciate environmentally responsible businesses.

    Know Your Niche
    It was a warm, quiet winter afternoon as I walked along the beach. At the headland there was a typical collection of rock pools. Lots of pools, some with more water than others, and some surging with the tidal wash. As I looked more closely I noticed the inhabitants - a purple anemone or two on the sidewall, sea snails moving slowly along the crevices, and other small creatures swimming around.Over recent times I have spoken with a number of people who are in the early stages of building their businesses or launching a new concept. As I peer
    ss owner she had been unsuccessful in selling on her services. She quickly asked for a reference and introduction to the business owner. When her new acquaintance demurred, she insisted that the other woman had to do it. "That's what networking is all about."

    Her error? She assumed an introduction brought the right to ask for referrals from strangers. Most people won't refer someone they don't know or when they don't know a person's work.

    INUNDATING NEW CONTACTS WITH SALES MATERIALS. After a brief conversation at a banquet one evening, I started getting masses of sales solicitations from a man who obviously didn't know me, my business, my needs or even where I lived. Most of the solicitations were for very expensive, multiple day seminars in eastern cities on topics I'd never need.
