Some people naturally have a flair for being successful in business and they enroll in these schools to hone their skills and learn to make better use of any opportunity presented to them.There are so many students bringing in so much revenue that the best schools for entrepreneurs keep competing with each other to better t
We talk to dozens of sales and marketing candidates every month as we perform executive searches for top technology manufacturing companies in the Pacific Northwest. As we talk to these individuals there are a few things that we see that candidates can do to improve their chances as they’re out networking and interviewing for job opportunities.The first idea I’m going to talk about is “knowing what you’re looking for”. Everybody wants to help a
The definition I like is the following:
Team Building – Any exercise or program that helps a group of INTERDEPENDANT people create LONG-TERM behavior change resulting in a more efficient or productive culture.
If a company or organization is considering investing in a team building program, the first question that needs to be asked is, “Is my group interdependent?” – meaning does the success of each member of the group depend primarily on the success of the other members of the group? For instance, the success of the operations department might depend heavily on the success of the sales department which might depend heavily on the success of the marketing department. Conducting a team building program among the managers or employees of these departments at the same time might be beneficial. However, the success of each individual sales person will probably not depend primarily on the success of the other sales people. So, a sales manager spending money on a team building program for his/her sales people would probably be wasting time and money
Have you ever wished there were more hours in your day, so you could get it all done? Why not manage those hours you do have better?A few years back, there was a trend among women to try to do it all, have it all, and be all to everyone. It didn’t work. Women soon realized that they couldn’t accomplish everything in life, alone. They needed help.As they learned this, they began to streamline their lives, focus on one thing at a time, and a

Everyone has heard that you don’t ask about salary on the first interview for a job.In the best case, you don’t ask about it at all, because the interviewer brings it up, on the second interview. He or she will most likely say, "We should make sure we're in the same ballpark compensation-wise." But what if that doesn’t happen?If you have interviewed twice - the interviews are done, and you’ve left the building - and no one has said a word
Are the promoters and consultants destroying the market for Reverse Merger? First lets take a look at reverse merger. In a Reverse Merger, an operating private company merges with a public company that has little or no assets, nor know liabilities (the “shell”).In some rare instances, the shell may have some amount of cash remaining for investment in the new enterprise. The public corporation is called a “shell” since all that exists of the o
What is your staff doing today?Chances are good that you could probably run down your list of direct reports and provide me with a fairly detailed summary of what each person needs to accomplish by 5 o’clock.However, what if I asked what you wanted your staff to complete by the end of this week, month and year? Even better, what if I asked your staff? Would they have any idea?This month, I am going address the challenge of setting
If your group is interdependent, then the next question to ask is “What kind of things are happening within this group that lets me know they are not acting efficiently as a team?” or “What areas can we improve in?” You might ask more specific questions to determine individual areas for improvement such as the following: Are there areas of miscommunication that slow down processes or cause rework? Are there conflicts which bring down morale? Do departments focus on their own success at the expense of other departments? Is it tough for new employees to fit in with the experienced team members? Are changes in policy resisted by team members? Do team members feel as though they have no say in policy?
The answers to any of these questions can help a team leader determine what types of team building programs might be most effective for a group. If you find it difficult to determine the individual areas that would have the most dramatic impact on the performance of your group, realize that most professional trainers have low-cost or free assessments that can be conducted to
