As an executive you clearly recognize that the organization within which you spend your time has a psychological and emotional culture that is the synergistic sum of all of the beliefs as well as psychological dynamics that all of the people in that organization bring in the door with them.Such cultures often take on a life of their own despite the efforts of many to modify, change or manipulate them. The reason is that these organizational cultures often replay the early family dynamics of the individuals in them.Such family patterns are not only not well understood by HR departments they are also very difficult to shift once they become entrenched in an organization.What's more a given individual can have an enormous negative or positive effect on the organizational culture and therefore on the organization’s success or failure.Most managers are not only not aware of such issues they are also not trained in how to recogni
“Hey Donaldo!” I chirped my nickname for Don as I slipped my ultra-thick retainer in my mouth.
“Hey Pablo!” Donaldo responded, likewise referring to his nickname for me. I saw him glance at the colorful flash of cloth around my waist. Donaldo was somewhat new to the concept of a lavalava.

An interesting piece of news turned up today about how much nations trust their media. Indians fare quite high up on the charts. Going by the number of News Channels and Newspapers the country has today it seems that the people still have faith in the various newscasters in the country.What's also interesting to note is that channels like Star News and NDTV score lower than a channel like Aaj Tak in the trust factor. Why? May be the people prefer to accept a channel that does not seem as slick or that has the look and feel of an international channel. I say this because Doordarshan scores quite high as well. They also are not known for their slick presentation either.It could also be the sum total that increases the trust people have in a publication or a TV channel. In the case of the News Channels the presenters play a big role. The way they deliver the news. Many reporters in the field give in to the temptation of getting too excited an
Some people are fun, good, and wholesome, and others can feel like a thorn in your shoe. Some will be there to boost you up and be a savior, and others will be there to take advantage of you, sometimes without the slightest care.
There is absolutely no way to lead a successful life without effective communication with those who can help you reach your goals. And the secret to effective communication is to fully understand—or at least try to understand—the other person’s perspective. Understanding the other person’s perspective helps you build camaraderie, negotiate faster and more effectively, add value to a partnership, and build respect for each other. To communicate effectively, you’ve got to be on the same page as the other person.
I came home to my apartment one day after class. As usual, I changed into a T-shirt and slipped out of my pants, tying a lavalava around my waist. A lavalava is a brightly colored, flowery cloth wrap or skirt that Polynesian men and women wear, usually with nothing on underneath but underwear. I previously lived in the Samoan islands for two years and grew accustomed to wearing a lavalava to beat the humid, tropical heat. During any scorching summer, a lavalava is one of the best types of personal air conditioning systems available, despite the fact that it is rarely found fashionable on a white American male like me.
Relaxing in the coolness of my apartment and having finished dinner and a night snack, I began to prepare to go to bed just as my roommate Don came home. Don was a long-time friend, but had recently moved in with me and another good friend.

When asked what part of their job they find a major time waster, many will answer loud and clear... MEETINGS. In a recent survey of business leaders, ninety percent of the respondents attributed the failure of meetings to a lack of advanced planning and organization. And, over three-fourths, indicated that they received no formal training on how to conduct a meeting. The following four strategies can help improve the quality of your meetings.Plan in advance. First use these fundamental questions to lay the foundation for a productive meeting. These questions address the who, the what, and most important, the why issues. What is the goal of the meeting? Is it primarily for the dissemination and exchange of information or is it for such activities as priority setting, brainstorming, decision-making or problem-solving? What specific issues need to be addressed? Who really needs to attend? And who needs just to be infor

Have you stalled out on the job search highway? Have the molehills on the road begun to look like Mount Everest? The truth is everyone stalls out from time to time; everyone takes a misstep once in awhile. The trick is to realize sooner rather than later that what you are doing isn’t working and take steps to get back on track. Below are three common obstacles job hunters encounter and easy-to implement steps for getting around them.BLACK HOLE R?SUM?SWhen your r?sum? goes out and seems never again to see the light of day, check whether it is under whelming or even repelling potential employers.Problem: The r?sum? doesn’t sell you at the correct level. More often than not, it undersells your capabilities and doesn’t highlight the value you would add to an organization.Solution: Review your r?sum? for accomplishments. Does it include at least three, and preferably more, specific examples of ways you have contributed to the succ

In the effort to achieve total quality management in an industry, striving towards constant improvement is a must. A proper recognition and reward process of an organisation motivates the staff of an organisation to achieve its objectives.Many companies are presently addressing the issue of reward and recognition for their as part of quality and continuous improvement programmes, but there remains no general guidelines or descriptions of such programmes which are readily available. These companies have made several attempts to create a process of employee reward and recognition for quality activities as part of its process of continuous improvement. All such attempts have had little success, resulting in the various systems losing their prestige among employees.In Australia, a new process for employee reward and recognition was developed through a company’s quality committee. It consists of 7 steps which can be used generically for any fir

MySpace is not only for teenagers and musicians. MySpace is also making a buzz among Internet marketers. At the invitation of Internet marketing guru Marlon Sanders, I set up a profile to see what the buzz is all about. Marlon calls it "...a ‘secret’ networking method the people on the inside are using."Being the active experimenter that I am, once I got started, I couldn't stay away from MySpace, setting up my profile, posting on my blog, adding events to the public calendar. As I poked around, I thought about how this networking space could work for professionals as a business tool.It's pretty easy to set up a profile and it's free. If you're using it as a business tool, be professional about the information you reveal. Remember MySpace is ultimately a SOCIAL tool and many people use it to hook up for dates and relationships. If that's not your intent, keep your content business-oriented.What I noticed in looking at random pr

“Hey Pablo!” Donaldo responded, likewise referring to his nickname for me. I saw him glance at the colorful flash of cloth around my waist. Donaldo was somewhat new to the concept of a lavalava.
But what was stranger to Donaldo was my thick plastic retainer that I usually wore only while sleeping. And with it in my mouth acting like a loose plug, it was extremely difficult to talk coherently. It piqued Donaldo’s interest as we exchanged a bit of small talk. Small talk was challenging for me as I sought to find different ways to place my tongue while forming words.
“So do you like wearing that?”
“Sure I do!” I enthusiastically garbled, thinking he was referring to my lavalava he noticed earlier.
Donaldo walked to the kitchen to grab a bite to eat while I settled down on the couch for a little reading. Don popped his head around the corner.
“Is it comfortable?” Don suspiciously asked, clearly confused at my apparent excitement to wear a cumbersome retainer.
“Of course it’s comfortable!” I mangled a response, not sure how Donaldo could mistake the advantages of a free-blowing, ventilated lavalava in the privacy of one’s home.
“And you wear it at night?”
“Yes, but sometimes it falls off in bed.”
That sounded a little odd to Donaldo. Does Paul sometimes wake up with the retainer patiently waiting on the pillow, to be plopped back in his mouth? Don waited for his burrito to finish cooking in the microwave. Then he probed further.
“Do you have to clean it much?”
“Yeah, it gets dirty every now and then.”
Dirty every now and then? Uck! If Donaldo had to wear a retainer every night, he would have been sure to religiously and thoroughly clean it on a regular basis.
“How long have you had it?”
“Oh, about five years. Do you like it?” I asked, starting to feel a little flattered. I can’t say that a lot of people found a lavalava to be the most chic apparel for a straight guy, although I did k
