Atricle Dump - Business Triage
Consultant's Perspective...The threat of violence whether it emanates from a disgruntled employee or the threat of terrorism require both a concerted and an individual response. Terrorism in any form is terrorism. Having been exposed to the daily taunts, acts of intimidation, verbal threats of bodily harm are as debilitating psychologically as the blunt strike or the piercing bullet. Vigilance and security awareness makes for a good prescription. In my previous writings on the topic of workplace security, I've attempted to draw a correlation between the disgruntled employee and the terrorist from within by suggesting similar patterns of behavior, traits and characteristics coupled with freedom of access and possession of the company’s secrets. My observations clearly implied a volatile ingredient worthy of skeptical a

IntroductionHave you found yourself getting up in the morning and dreading going in to work? Is it because you’re tired of seeing that person with the sly, affected, and insidious smile? I know – that horrific person is your boss! Well, what if I told you of a way to get rid of them. No, you can’t do that- that is illegal. How about becoming your own boss? I will tell you how as long as you don’t treat your employees in the same manner you have been treated.“Most people work just hard enough not to get fired and get paid just enough money not to quit.”The SecretThe secret is to start your own franchise. It is a great opportunity that is exciting, easy, and you can be your own boss! I know what you’re thinking- it can’t be that easy. Well, yes it can, you just have to put some premeditative
But what does triage have to do with business?
If a business is doing well, absolutely nothing.
However, in a global economy where labor is cheaper for “the big boys” overseas and markets are flooded with less expensive goods, where disgruntled employees or other malcontents take out their frustration on a business directly or its customers there are few businesses that do not regularly suffer a disaster. The problem is, they don’t know how to recognize one when it comes.
The first lesson from the disaster field office are the definitions: a disaster is when your needs exceed your resources. It’s a simple mathematic equation:
Disaster = Needs > Resources
A catastrophe is when your needs exceed all ability to respond. Again, it’s a simple mathematical equation:
Catastrophe = Needs > Ability to Respond.
Resiliency is defined in many ways. One definition is even of a book on the subject, Mastery Against Adversity (Disaster Life Support Publishing, 2007). But the simplest definition is that resiliency is the opposite of disaster. It is when your resources exceed your needs, or mathematically: Resilience = Resources > Needs.

If you own a mobile car washing or auto detailing company you know that some of your best clients will be corporate clients and you also know that when you are in the parking lot cleaning, washing or detailing cars that other employees will hire you. In fact often you will literally stuck in the parking lot all day cleaning and detailing cars.Obviously you could have worse problems.

But how do you get Corporate Clients like this?Well simple really schedule a meeting with the human resource director and tell them you will come one time per week to the corner of their parking lot to wash cars for interested employees.

It’s just as easy to succeed as to fail in direct mail, so here are a few simple guidelines of what not to do. You’ll probably still find lots of other mistakes to make on your own — but at least you won’t have to make these:1. Not knowing your audience - every ad should be to a specific targeted group that you research until you know it intimately. Aim for your readers' personal hot spots, in a writing style and level they're comfortable with. Learn how they feel and act, and what they like and dislike. Then, craft your style and content specifically to your readership.2. Mailing to the wrong list - this is probably the most common, and most fatal, error made in mailings. Spend as much time on researching your list as you do on the creative aspects of writing and layout and on the research about your products,

When I became a coach six years ago, I had a dream that took me a while to admit to—even to myself. What I really wanted to do was to combine the two great passions of my life—coaching and working with horses—but I had no idea what that might look like. As I bravely shared my fledgling dream with others, people began to point me to other people who had the same dream. I started exploring and discovered that the field of Equine Guided Education is a lively and growing one, where there’s plenty of space for the coaching process to be incorporated.You might be surprised to learn that coaching with horses provides a depth and immediacy that brings new information, even about business development. Synchronicity happens in the domain of energy—energy from our thoughts, our emotions, our body, our spirit. Horses, unencumbered
The second lesson from the disaster field office is every business must have resilience to survive its disaster.
The third lesson from the disaster field office is that there are acceptable losses. Several years ago when New York City suffered its most recent blackout Arnie, who owned a small convenience store and ice creamery faced a business triage decision. With the power out he had ten flavors of ice cream in the cabinet that would soon melt. At 5 gallons per flavor there was slightly less than 50 gallons of ice cream up front. This was a small loss, but it would be compounded by the fact that he had over 100 gallons of ice cream in the back.
Arnie knew that he had a disaster on his hands. His needs (refrigerator) exceeded his resources (electricity). Arnie needed to make a simple triage decision. He had to decide where he could focus his efforts and his remaining resources so that his business would in fact reopen when the power came back on. He also needed to plan for as short a recover as possible. It takes a lot of effort to get rid of over 100 gallons of ice cream and a lot of dumpster space. The clean-up would be horrendous and if the disaster lingered too long his store would be f
