Dangers of Credit Cards
Credit cards can be very advantageous to the smart consumer who uses them wisely by giving you credit to buy what you need without having the needed up-front cash, and letting you make payments over time. But if you are not mindful of the terms of credit cards, there can be dangers of credit cards. If you do not watch your budget and charge without having the ability to make monthly payments, money problems

Tell Me About Yourself
The need to tell people about yourself may present itself during an informal conversation with a colleague, on the Little League field with a neighbor, on the phone with a past acquaintance, or in a face-to-face meeting for a job opportunity. "Tell me about yourself" is a favorite question that has befuddled many an unsuspecting candidate.Responses can range from strong to weak to irrelevant to fata

The CEO of a company represents a company’s culture. Important –- regarding change -- is whether the role of the CEO is more that of a manager who is safeguarding the current culture or one who is leading a (cultural) change.

The difference between leading a company and managing the same is not a secret. Leaders take the lead and come (up) with a new direction. The manager is the custodian of the (new) direction. Let’s take Google as an example. Larry and Sergey were leading the company (before it made any real profits), and Eric “took over” to manage the profits.

Nancy is the CEO of Wolters Kluwer a Dutch company dedicated to information brokerage. Nancy got elected to manage Wolters in 2005 as an incentive to increase the company’s performance. Before her position as a CEO she led the North American division of Wolters. Favoring her as a CEO made clear that her way of managing the division and later the company was to set an example. The company’s culture would soon have to follow this new way. She was elected as a new leader.

Get A Life, Not Just A Job!
Before you consider your next job change or even career change, it's crucial that you look at the kind of lifestyle you want today and in the future. As you determine the course of your career path, you’ll discover that other facets of your life will enter into the picture as well—where you life, how you spend your money, how you spend your free time.

Learn Your PROTOCOLS
IntroductionStudies have shown that large numbers of organisations aim to introduce some form of structured change or improvement programme each year (in some studies this can be as high as 60-70% of all organisations), but few of these programmes will achieve changes that are sustainable.

I will never forget the moment when the light bulb went on in my head and I understood what was wrong.My business doubled that year, and has more than doubled over the past year. How did I do it?If you are serious about doubling your bu

This growth dilemma could have been avoided by choosing a less risky strategy. But in this example the bank got stuck in the middle and instead of acquiring others she became a takeover candidate herself.

Recently a famous soccer player-coach-ambassador commented: “The impression I got from talking with him … coincides exactly with the way he is leading such a traditional bank…” With other words, he didn’t agree with the CEO / Leader, someone who is changing the bank away from whatever tradition.

From a cultural point of view you could ask whether the CEO is only responsible for this strategy or that the CEO is merely the one representing the corporate culture. The difference between a manager and a leader is important in this sense. A manager would represent the actual culture, the leader the preferred culture.

Another example. Is George leading “Corporate America” or is more a kind of a manager directing an “administration?” Not long ago I found an interesting article:
