Everything I Need to Know About My Career I Learned in Motorcycle Drivers Ed!
It seems funny to think that there could be similarities between career development and motorcycle school, but there was one thing that stood out to me so much that I just had to share it. Although it really wasn’t that obvious to me at the time, 5-some-odd years ago, but looking back, it was a comparison just waiting to be acknowledged.First of all, if your state offers a motorcycle training course, and you are interested in getting your license, I highly recommend that you take it. I believe MN’s course is 16 hours long, broken up into 4 days-classroom and ride time. Not only do you get your license at the end (assuming you pass everything), but you learn safety maneuvers, riding techniques, signaling, and a host of other good stuff-in a fun and friendly environment!(“Where is he going with this?!” you are thinking to yourself right now…! Hang with me, you will see!)There was one drill that we all had to pass that we called “couch in the road”. It was supposed to be like you were driving down the street and a couch flies off a truck and lands in front o

Pallet Racks
Pallet racks can be defined as multi-level structured units used to hold stacks of heavy pallets, which are a popular means of storage for literally any industry. A series of parts and components are fastened together in the form of shelving units to make the pallet racks. There are many types of pallet racks namely drive-in racks, push-back racks, cantilever racks and carton flow racks.Drive-in pallet racks are made for a fork lift or similar vehicle to drive through. The drive-in racks are built strong enough to withstand forklift damage. Drive-in pallet racks also hold more loads, taking up less space in the long run. Items with a long shelf life and items that do not need to be rotated often are stored using drive in pallets.Push-back pallet racks are nearly similar to drive-in racks. The difference is that push-back racks are made to hold up to double the capacity of drive-in racks.Carton flow pallet racks are made to store pallets, as well as cardboard cartons. The next item is moved to the front using the conveyor system.For storing large, cumber

Does Size Matter? According to the Research, Yes.
According to Finance professors Dave Yermack of NYU and Crocker Liu of Arizona State, there is a strong inverse correlation between the size of a CEO's home and the share price performance of their company. By big, the authors were referring to homes over 10,000 square feet or on at least 10 acres. While quoting some anecdotes like the poor performance of Rich-Man complexes owned by the CEOs of Home Depot and Hilton Hotels, the broader data set showed that large home owners lagged the S&P by 25% for the 3 years following their purchase compared to 22% returns for those owning more measly homes under 10,000 square feet.This is certainly an interesting finding and it's backed up by relevant statiscally sound data. Although I'm sure it's not inclusive of all homes of all S&P CEOs, any variability within one population would be expected to exist for the other population wrt sample omission, sample size, error in appraisal value/square footage reporting, etc. Based on the quirky findings from this study, there obviously isn't an ETF or mutual fund out there to capitalize on th

Leadership Matters - When Was The Last Time?
When was the last time you received truly memorable customer service? If you’re like most people it’s hard to think of a time that stands out. You’re probably wondering why that is. So did I.It seemed like with most of the places I patronized, the situation was the same. Take, for instance, the bank that I used to go to. I realized that I had been banking in the same place for three years, yet no one seemed to recognize me. And, if they did, they never let me know. In addition, I rarely got a “Thank you.” or “Is there anything else I can do for you?” I felt taken for granted. Not that this should have been like a love affair, but shouldn’t I have felt like I had some kind of a relationship with these people? Shouldn’t they have told me that they wanted me to come back again? The answer is yes. The experience wasn’t horrible for me, but after three years, I just wanted a better one. So, I shopped for another bank.Developing a Customer-Driven BusinessSo why aren’t more businesses creating lots of positive memorable experiences? Perhaps it’s because most custom
