Digg it UP - Managing Your Team (Part 4) - Who's Exerting a Disproportionate Amount of Influence?
We go to meetings to share information, to report on project status, to make decisions, to get the free lunch, and because we were invited. (Sorry that I digressed). This is only a partial list – there are many other valid reasons for holding meetings.Perhaps the most common and best reason for a meeting though is to solve a problem. A meeting is a great place to do this – you get a variety of people with a variety of experiences, knowledge and perspectives together to ensure that the best possible solution is identified and that all of the important considerations have been taken into account.The problem is, that while the venue and the people m
Increasing shareholder value is the most important driver for organisations in the modern business world. Shareholder value is built through growing profit and building confidence in the organisation, which moves share prices upwards. Shareholders like this!And the employees of an organisation have a crucial part to play in both elements of this.They contribute to sales by selling more, both to new and old customers. They build the customer base by word of mouth from existing customers. New customers are pre-filtered because your existing customers tell them exactly what you do, so more customer interactions are co
Where does this influence or power come from?
What impact do these people have on the team? If the effect is being detrimental to the team's well-being or holding back progress, then why have them on the team?
Let's take, for example a continuous improvement team, a task force, perhaps a project team developing a new product.
It is healthy and, sometimes, maybe even necessary to include team members who are invited because they are in a position of authority or have a great deal of expertise in / experience of the team's key objectives.
WHY?
In this issue, I will share my experience acquired from the conglomerate and its operating companies. For the purpose of this article, I will articulate the Valuing Employees and Partners which is one of the eleven core values and concepts used in Malcolm Baldrige Criteria. As before, I will use case studies to show how some of the companies implement them.To recap, below are the Eleven Core Values and Concepts of Baldrige Criteria:-Visionary Leadership | Customer-Driven Excellence | Organizational and Personal Learning | Valuing Employees and Partners | Agility | Focus on the Future |Managing for Innovation | Management by Fa

WHY?
All of us have heard of marketing professionals. Some of us have even worked as marketing professionals ourselves. And some of us have probably heard of marketing agencies. But how many of us can, in all honesty say that we have heard of the term marketing consulting? I for one hadn’t. Of course I had heard of consultants and IT consultants to be more precise, but I had never before heard about marketing consulting as a field and what’s more, hadn’t the faintest idea who would be involved in such an activity.All that changed when I got onto a domestic flight and found someone sitting next to me. When we made our introductions, I was pleasantly surprised

WHY?
A mom who has her own business faces an incredible challenge. Motivated by the need to put food on the table or to give herself the gift of accomplishment, she moves forward with her life and family while starting a new business. All women who start a business, have to start somewhere. Even those who purchase a franchise have to start with the education needed to run that particular franchise. The never ending juggle of Family, business and self begins.Finding balance can be a challenge. With outside input, women discover and utilize tools that will help them create the life and business that they want. One of the tools used to find things that can ma
WHY?
The recent expansion of some small towns in Alberta with the lack of tradespeople is challenging but there may be areas of opportunity in the future. How soon will it be, or how long depends on an influx of tradespeople needed that are qualified to build homes or are trained in specialities quickly by industry experts.Some small towns have to put expansions on hold due to costs and lack of people resources with the proper skills. In the pioneer days of Alberta, there were groups of communities that involved people within them that assisted in pulling their own ploughs for their own farmlands. However, these days as the "general world economy" has become
I'm sure you can think of a whole bunch of other reasons why these people of influence can and do add value. However, challenges may arise when the individual with authority or relevant expertise...
