Digg it UP - A Management Strategy
A few months ago, arriving at a client’s office to begin a group meeting, I discovered that two women, who had committed to joining us for a series of meetings, had changed their minds. In less than two minutes, I convinced them to join us. Did I use some sort of magic? You bet I did. Would you like to know that magic?Neuro-Linguistic Programing (NLP), a science that studies the language of the mind, breaks down, step-by-step, the strategies humans use to connect with others. Most people believe that we communicate primarily through language and words. Yet, many business people are aware of body language and its importance in interacting with people. Some
The perception of the PA's was that their managers had already decided how many would be let go and were only spinning it out under the guise of "Managed Change" because they wanted to pretend that the decision was part of a reasoned process and not the arbitrary wielding of a financial
Have you ever noticed how untrusting people are? What is the cause of all this? Is it the media scaring people into believing that everyone is a scam artist? Is it the government causing mistrust amongst the masses to further propel law enforcement agencies, which in turn make more rules and regulations to control? Is it the Internet where everyone runs around using a false “pen name” as they practice deceit?Recently, I was discussing some possible ideas for someone who wished to start their own business. They asked me some questions and I asked them some questions as well. Then their wife Esmirelda asked George, why is this guy helping you; what is in it
This summer I met the PA of an emminent professor at a business school.
I had met her on several occassions before and knew her to be a bright chatty woman who always enjoyed passing the time of day.
On this occassion when I asked her how her week was going she looked at me and I could see that she wanted to smile but the muscles in her face would not work and after a few twitches she gave up trying and looked back at the ground.
I asked her what was the matter and she told me that her department was undergoing change.
I asked her what that actually meant.
She told me that a "Change Manager" had appeared in the department and everybody was waiting to see who got the sack.
This was a woman, who is normally a capable and confident administrator, had been reduced to a nervous wreck because she perceived that an anonymous arbiter had been brought in to decide her future.
This was her reaction to the presence of a "Change Manager" based on her perception that change meant people being sacked.
How close was this perception to reality?
I met my PA again a month later and the way that she and her colleagues had been treated made me spit.
She had got over her first shock and was now extremely angry with the college authorities.
30 senior PA's were now involved.
It seems that the chancellor and his senior team had announced the changes then brought in a consultant to ratify them.
The situation for the PA's was that they had been told that their fates would be announced in six weeks.
They had no idea how many jobs would be left after six weeks but were told that nobody would be made redundant, alternative employment would be found.

I am a home-based entrepreneur. I own a tutor referral service in Southern California and have been a tutor broker for eight years. I just launched my second business. I authored a book about how to begin a tutor referral service and packaged it with a customized website and Accounting Software, support, ads, etc. and am selling it via the internet nationwide and in Canada. Having started two businesses, I have learned about small business planning and strategies for success. Here are my suggestions:1) Outsource, outsource, outsource!Small businesses don’t have the capital to devote to entire payroll departments, legal departments, etc. Outsource t

The Check 21 Law that went into affect in 2004 can make life so much easier for your company. If you receive consumer checks, vendor checks, business checks, government checks, virtually any kind of check drawn on a U.S. bank, you can now do from the convenience of your companys' location (or remote location) the same thing that only the top 5 or so banks are now doing for their customers. What is it? Accounts Receivable Conversion!Because of 9/11 and the fact that billions of dollars in checks were stranded on the ground when the airplanes were all grounded, Congress passed a law that went into affect in Oct 2004 that would allow for image conver

Declining a job offer is something you might consider during your career.Sometimes, a job offer doesn’t look as good as you’d hoped, sometimes things change in your situation that make the potential job less desirable, maybe it’s something else.Here are some common reasons for turning down a job offer that you’ve received: Inadequate compensation, benefits, vacation, bonus, stock options, etc. A disagreement over job title and/or job responsibilities A change of heart either regarding your current employer or the potential new employer A gut feeling that “something just isn’t right” with th

It was awful to watch the diabolical way a centre for excellence was treating its own staff, and still had the temerity to continue to hold itself up as an example to whom we should look for learned guidance.
"What thickness is the ivory on their tower that prevents them seeing the consequences of their actions?"
My initial question was whether this girls perception of change was shared by others.
It seems that it is.
I spoke to my PA friend again last month and they were still telling her to wait while the decision was made about her future.
She could not endure the stress any longer and started to look for alternative employment.
As she said, she loved the job that she used to have,
The authorities had through their actions caused her to lose trust in them and come to hate the job that was now causing her so much stress.
She could not consider continuing to work for them even if they announced tomorrow that her job was safe because she could not continue to work for, or trust, people who had caused her so much pain.
This behaviour from a respected university that is held up as a centre of management excellence is, in its personal effect on these individuals, appalling.
It is interesting to note that the bosses of all the PA's affected had by this time been asked to reapply for their jobs too.
The PA that I know told me that her boss has started to look for work elsewhere for the same reasons as she had.
Last week I met the PA again and she told me that both she and her boss had found new jobs, still working together, at a neighbouring school.
It does not have the same reputation but that is a situation that neith
