What do creativity managers do?Replace the word management with the word optimisation.That's what creativity managers do: they optimise the quality of the idea pool (creativity) and the implementation process (innovation).There are many methods of optimisation and the creativity leader must be aware of all of them, in other words, he or she must synthesise them for optimal effect.Areas [within cre
I recently read an article in Fast Company magazine about the issue of leadership. In it, they quote Ronald Heifetz, the founder of Harvard's Center for Public Leadership, who made the above comment back in 1999. He followed it up by saying, "leaders must know how to listen - and the art of listening is more subtle than most people think it is. But first and just as important, leaders must want to listen."
You'd think this is simply basic stuff, right? Like what all managers learned in Management 101. I doubt there's an exec in business today who wouldn't say they 'know' this already. But in my experience, most leaders seem to think it no longer applies to them when they start moving up the ladder. They seem to get to the stage where they think they really know it all.

Gone are the days when a pat on the back for a job well done or a gold watch after 25 years of service were enough to keep employees happy , productive and in the end profitable.Different employees need to be rewarded in different ways. You may wish to rewarded in different ways at different times of your life and career.For example if you are a person who is newly married and saving for a home the best reward for

Most all Franchisors simply cannot stand the waste of money and time it takes to get registered in a Franchise Registration state or the insanity of the process to renew the registration each year. It costs Hundreds of thousands of dollars to comply with all their garbage, annual audits and the franchise attorneys hold them over a barrel with $300.00 per hour fees to help with the red tape of the State Franchise Regulation attorney

With severe power shortage problems predicted for the turn of the century, India was faced with finding a solution to this problem either domestically or through foreign investment in the early 90’s. India’s financial standing in the world markets was extremely low and had never been an attractive country for foreign investment. Enron Development Corporation, a part of American Enron, believed they could solve India’s power probl

In today’s fast paced world, many small business computer consultants are wrapped up in their daily fire fighting activities at their client’s location and have almost no time to attract new opportunities or build strong strategic alliances.One great way to keep a new business growing while building relationships at the same time is to join a networking club.There are many networking organizations throughout the count
But yet, executives and professionals at all levels frequently tell me that they themselves don't feel 'heard' by their superiors. And here's the really interesting thing about it - I hear this frustration cited by people at every management level!
