What is the culture in your organization? When mistakes are made what is the first question asked? "Who's to blame?" or "What can we learn from this?"If the first question is "who is to blame," you may be creating a culture of fear and intimidation. The result of this culture is to stifle creativity and progressive thinking while fostering an environment where everyone plays the C.Y.A. (Cover Your A___) game.Failure to learn from mistakes results in crisis management because either no decisions are made out of fear of making a bad one, or bad decisions are repeated because no one knows the correct response.However, when you foster an environment where mistakes are seen as opportunities to learn rather than point fingers the result is better decisions, greater accountability (people are more prone to admit an error if they know their head won't be cut off as a result) and continual growth and improvement.Try this approach:1) Check out the facts (don't go by what others tell you, they may be playing the C.Y.A. game and giving you a very distorted picture.2) Once the facts are confirmed, talk privately with the individual and give them an opportunity to admit their mistake.3) Tell the person exactly what he or she did wrong and its impact on the organization.4) Reaffirm your confidence in them. After doing that, depending on the situation, pull your team together, discuss the mistake and get their ideas on alternative solutions for future situations.Following these simple steps will equip your staff with confidence-and loyalty and those a

Business process management is the process of designing and maintaining an environment in which individuals, working together in groups, efficiently accomplish selected aims. This basic definition needs to be expanded as manager’s carry out the managerial functions of planning, organizing, staffing, leading and controlling. Management applies to any kind of organization. It applies to managers at all organizational levels. The aim of all managers is to create a surplus. Managing is concerned with productivity implying effectiveness and efficiency.Many scholars and managers have found that the analysis of business process management is facilitated by a useful and clear organization of knowledge. In studying management, it is helpful to break it down into five managerial functions involving planning, organizing, staffing, leading and controlling. The knowledge that underlies those functions is organized around these five functions.Managers are charged with the responsibility of taking actions that will make it possible for individuals to make their best contributions to group objectives. Management applies to small and large organizations, to profit and not-for-profit enterprises, to manufacturing as well as service industries. The term enterprise refers to businesses, government agencies, hospitals, universities and other organizations. In business process management, all managers carry out managerial functions. However, the time spent for each function may differ. Top-level managers spend more time on planning and organizing than do lower level managers. Leading, on the other hand, takes a great deal of time

Business Law Before you start a business, legally, you need to obtain any business licenses or permits required by law. Doing so will identify your business, protect public health and safety and help you keep track of your finances for tax purposes. The application for an employer identification number (EIN) is available at the IRS website; an EIN is required for corporations, LLCs and partnerships, as well as any sole proprietors who will hire employees. Unless your company's service or product is regulated by a federal agency, you probably won't need any federal licenses or permits. However, things like public transportation, investment advice, or producing drugs or firearms, require supervision by a federal agency and you will need special licenses. If, for example, you will become involved with environmental regulations at the federal level, you'll need to deal with the EPA.State Business Licensing Laws States license people in certain professions, such as lawyers, doctors, and accountants. Your state might also require a license for certain other businesses such as barbers or real estate agents. You should check with your state to find out if your business requires a state license or permit. Selling certain products including alcohol and lottery tickets might also require a state license.Your municipality might require a license or permit for your business. Check with your city or town to find out about zoning laws to ensure that you are allowed to conduct business in a particular building like your home or the storefront you rent. If you are involved in retail sales, you will also have to pay state and

When is being nice hurting you? I have written before about how the job search process can be filled with rejection and how you can turn that around by being nice to yourself. This article is about the line some people cross into being soft on themselves and hurting their job search.It is 11am and well shucks it is too late to call on someone now about work. I’ll have lunch, and presto it is 2pm and you would not want to bother someone at this time of day. You will find yourself falling in the same trap that many novice salespeople. You keep adding hours to the day that you shouldn't call someone because they might be getting their day started, going to lunch, preparing to go to lunch, just back from lunch, preparing to go home, etc. Pretty soon you've whittled the available hours for contacting people to an hour in the morning and one in the afternoon.I can promise you won’t be winning anything like this, but so many of us do it. I have even done this kind of avoiding of the work involved in getting a new career. There are lots of employment books saying the best time to call an office is 7am because likely the owner will answer the phone. I have called several companies on the weekend and the owner or CEO answered the phone.The reality is we are objects in motion and it takes energy to keep us in motion. Rejection seems to sap the energy right out of us, it is so much easier to stay in our housecoats than go out and get a few rejections. First off read my other articles on how to turn rejection into the very energy you need to keep going. Second if you don’t get out and do some actions you are the on

Why are some people not as successful as they want to be or many think that they should be? Why is it that some people are constantly moving but getting nowhere? Most often it is because they do not have clearly defined priorities or are not living in line with them. What is a priority then?As you travel, each new place you arrive at is a goal. If you are going on a road trip each new state may be your goal. Therefore, if each new location is your goal then priorities are your reason for going. Priorities are not what define you, they are what motivate you to succeed.Determining what your priorities are is very important because they are what motivate you to succeed. There is no need to have thirty priorities, one is all you need. Human nature requires us to have a reason to do something if not then it is easy to not follow through on our goals.Imagine the building of a new house or building. The first thing that is done is the permit is gained, then the land is cleared and each step after. What if there were no clear priorities laid out by the contractor, you could have the roof done before the foundation was even poured?It may seem as if that is impossible, but how many people are living their lives not even knowing what the first step truly is. That is why they are not achieving success in certain areas and it feels as if they are running uphill always. The same applies to our lives. If we do not have a clear outline then we are subject to falling farther from where we want to be.Now that you know why it is imperative to have priorities, the next step is to figure out what
