Creating the Right Atmosphere for Negotiating Differences
Conflict resolution is one of the most important skills needed in the 21st Century. Think how often you need to negotiate with people, even on the weekends. For example, on Saturday I started out negotiating with my husband whether or not to go for a run or a walk. We settled on a run/walk. Then we stopped into a garage sale to buy a coffee maker. We dickered a bit over the price. Later, my assistant wanted to change the day she came into work. That took some creative thinking to find a solution. In the evening, we talked with our grown son about vacationing together in November. Should he come here, should we go there? It happens constantly. Yet, few of us learned any formal skills in this area.Mostly we learned conflict resolution when we were young - from watching the adults in our life. They learned it from the a

Keep Business Operations and Logistics Simple, Streamlined and Agile
Most of the entrepreneurs we interview in our consulting business have a very unrealistic conception of what excites and disappoints investors. The dream of many inexperienced inventors seeking to fund their opportunity is to build a substantial infrastructure. Their business plan identifies the need for factory space, equipment, staff, and many other fixed costs.Investors want to see a plan that maximizes return on investment. High fixed costs are the enemy of a great profit margin. When business turns down, and it always does at some point, fixed cost assets become liabilities and must be continually fed, even as income declines.Always present decision-makers with the most streamlined operations plan possible. Do not confuse grandiose staffing and equipment wants with actual needs. In today’s business climat

Remain a Professional Even When You are Being Laid Off
So you’re hearing rumors around work about downsizing and lay-offs within the company. While your first reaction may be to start helping yourself to office supplies- DON’T. At this point, you’re not even sure if it’s you going to be laid off, and this could give your boss a reason to include you on the Pink Slip List.Now, more than ever, it’s important for you to stay focused and continue to act like the professional you are. Even though you may fantasize about it, now is not the time to march into the office and tell your boss what you really think of him or her. Chances are you’ll need the reference, so now is the time to really suck up. Just kidding, but keep your opinions to yourself and continue to do your best work. You’ll need the reference when you’re gone, and you want it to be a good one. Depending o
