People Literacy

Susan Cullen

People literacy is knowing how to read and understand the behavioral style differences of others. Every manager has experienced the frustration of not understanding why one management approach that works beautifully with one employee is ineffective with another. That's because what we think would be motivating isn't always motivating to someone else.

Leadership at the Top

Gary B. Cohen

As a true leader, Mike ensured understanding. He had a clear message and a clear focus. Printed on company shirts, hats, and posters, E3 became the symbol for driving the corporation forward. When an employee's comments were not aligned with E3, Mike set the employee back on course and made it clear to others that this was not acceptable.

Expect With Confidence

Kurt Mortensen

Expectation is literally a self-fulfilling prophecy. We do this consciously and subconsciously. Remember the kid in grade school who was always really rowdy and disruptive? Sometimes if people already assume they are perceived a certain way, then that is indeed exactly how they will act, even if they don't mean to. The rowdy kid in grade school knew everyone perceived him as disruptive and so he was. The teacher expected bad behavior and the expectations were fulfilled.

Leadership -- How to Challenge an Organization

John Dueme

A good leader can take a team and accomplish things that no one believed was possible. In order to do this they must make incremental changes that are challenging but not impossible. By giving their organization a string of successes they will build momentum and attitudes that will help them overcome even difficult situations in the future.

Google's Local Business Center Major Update and New Name

Merle

If you have a brick and mortar store, and rely on walk-in traffic for your survival, you may be wondering what the Internet can do for your business. In the "old days", the bulk of businesses relied on the Yellow Pages to get the phone ringing. The majority of marketing dollars were spent getting listed in this ten pound paperweight. With the popularity of the Net, less people let "their fingers do the walking" when they need something, and more are letting their mouse do the talking.
