An intellectual is a man who takes more words than necessary to tell more than he knows. Dwight D. EisenhowerIn The Genesis of Values, the philosopher Joas narrates the relationship between social theory and 20th century religion. Joas found the belief in human rights and dignity. What did 9/11 demonstrate in this regard?After the September 11th terrorist attacks, it was obvious that American organizations were vulnerable. Yet the aftermath of such tragedies have produced a spiritual void in America’s workplace. Essentially, 9/11 exposed this emerging trend of workers seeking workplace purpose.However, today’s managers aren’t ready for changes. Why don’t managers value employees as more than physical beings? Historically, organizations have no room for any spirituality. The underpinning assumption is that well-run organizations are impersonal. Managers want an impersonal workforce, while employees want an intimate relationship. Therefore, value conflicts exist in many organizations.Obviously, the wickedness of 9/11 events and many deaths before our eyes demonstrated the finite of our existence. The aftermath has plac

25% of reportable injuries in the work place are caused by incorrect manual handling. With more than 25 percent of all reportable injuries in the work place being caused by incorrect manual handling procedures and with an average of 11 working days being lost per injury, this area is one that requires careful consideration, especially when in the UK the total costs of such injuries to employers is estimated at ?335 million pounds…Training required for all staff whose duties include any liftingTraining is therefore required for all staff who have to lift heavy or awkward items as a part of their everyday duties. Remember too that many manual handling injuries build up over a period of time, so even occasional lifting work should be considered if it is regular enough. Employers are being urged to make sure that their staff are armed with the right knowledge in order that their health and welfare are protected, in short to train their staff. The answer for employers is indeed as simple as that, for if they provide staff with the correct training and equipment, the likelihood of any injuries is re
Eric, asked if he could interview me about a specific topic and I agreed.
After it was done, Eric sent me a bunch of filet mignon steaks from Omaha Steaks (Thanks Eric).
But the steaks are not what this article is about.
It's what was inside the Omaha Steaks box that I want to talk to you about.
You see, two things came with the steaks. One was a Omaha Steaks cookbook.
The cookbook not only contained recipes but also a bunch of bounceback special offers.

Advertising space on the web has typically been sold by the banner and by the click. Now, thanks to a hot new concept called pixel marketing, it’s being sold by the pixel. That’s right. Just when you thought there was nothing left to sell, the web has profitably parceled into blocks of pixels that advertisers are snapping up to promote their brands.Here’s how pixel marketing works. Pages are made up of pixel grids, typically of one million pixels which generally sell from 50 cents to $1 each. An advertiser who buys blocks of these pixels can design an image which will be displayed on them, and will link visitors to a corresponding website.The idea for pixel marketing is credited to Alex Tew, a 21-year-old student from Wiltshire, England, who developed The MillionDollarHomepage.com to raise funds for his university education. Tew launched the site on August 26, 2005. Within three days of the launch, with no marketing budget, Tew sold his first 20 x 20 pixel block. Motivated, he put out a press release. Two weeks later, he had made enough money to pay for his first year at university. He has now made more than half a million dollars.In his

It's a hard thing to do. We've just lost our job, or just plain got fed up with it. We've decided that we're going to make a living on the Internet. We have no idea what we want to do but we do know that we need to start making money and fast. We have it all figured out. We're going to do a search for something that promises us we're going to make X number of dollars in our first 30 days. We find an amount we can live with at one of those really cool sites and we sign up.30 days later we're still broke and we wonder why.It's not totally your fault. These companies pray on people like us. They know we don't want to go to that lousy job anymore. They know we want instant riches. So they promise us the moon, hoping and knowing that we're going to pay them the 20 bucks a month to make some obscene amount of money. But it never happens. We're disillusioned, frustrated and clueless as to where to turn. We don't know who to trust and we're at our wits end.As I said, it's not totally your fault. But you are going to have to shoulder some of the blame. Nobody can pay $20 a month for a business and expect to make any kind of real money. If you were

An aggressive manager, striving to maximize return on investment and organizational profitability, could easily develop a litany of various programs and policies impacting personnel and operations from the Mailroom to the Board of Directors. However, within the operational environment of a given organization, human beings, with tradition, familiarity, and comfort zones behind them, will wreak havoc on the best of plans. The fluidity of today’s marketplace, rapid technological developments, and governmental policy changes regarding virtually every aspect of business functioning, demands change. The manager’s challenge then, is to implement good ideas with minimal resistance and maximum acceptance.The purpose of this article is to discuss the five elements believed critical to the successful implementation of change within an organization. The five points were designed to test an idea before it is put into place. These points do not guarantee that the idea will reduce operational costs, improve productivity, or enhance the organization’s profit line. That is up to the validity of the planned change itself. Rather, an idea that meets the following five poi

One of the most powerful offers you can use in your advertising is the word Free.But, you may well ask… how can I make a profit giving my products and services away without charging for them?Which is the exact reason why you need to understand the ‘LVC Formula’ which stands for the Lifetime Value of a Client!Here’s how it works. Let’s imagine for a moment you own a beauty salon. Now if you get a new customer, they may pay you $80 for their first treatment.But how much is this $80 client really worth?After all, most clients will continue to buy off you for many years to come.For instance, let’s imagine your average client returns for a beauty treatment 8 times a year… and remains a client for 2 years.$80 (price of consultation) x 8 (purchases a year) x 2 (number of years)Now if you have a calculator handy, you’ll work out the value of this client as $1280.00.And if your profit margin is 40% this calculates to a $512 profit per client.Let's imagine we sent a letter to all the nearby businesses offering women a free manicure valued at $30.00 (I’m not a beauty therapist, so please forgive me if
