Workplace problem children - everybody has them. From Dwight on The Office to the entire cast of characters in Office Space, these leadership challenges have even found their way into popular culture. Unfortunately, they are all too real in the modern workplace. Whether as legacies left behind by a previous leader or new hires that were not evaluated during the interview process, these individuals can undermine your leadership efforts.Regardless of the specific situation, problem employees represent a triple threat when it comes to your team reaching its full potential. First and foremost, everyone on a team needs to pull his or her weight in order for the group to succeed. Lack of perfo
Because she knew she had good people in the positions, we helped her look at her part in project leadership and conveying a vision to her team.
She already successfully uses "outcome-based strategy" for project planning. This involves the following steps: Think through the outcome you want and the benefits you'll receive. Then think through the outcome the customer or employee receives, including what they want, and the benefits to them.
The missing piece of this puzzle is "Outcome-Based Conversations". The same key issues Mary knew so well from her strategy or sales processes can also be applied to her communication process...not just with customers, but also co-workers, employees, and family members!

Let's say you need to ask a co-worker to help you with a project. Take five minutes to think about the end result you want--what is the ideal outcome? What is the worst-case outcome? What would it mean to you to achieve either one?

Anyone who is involved in any type of business should have business cards. It doesn’t matter if you sell things at craft shows or you are the CEO of a large company, you will need business cards. Custom business cards can be expensive and you often need to buy them in bulk. However, it is quite easy to make your own business cards. It can be an inexpensive way to produce professional business cards that you can be proud of.There are three main ways to make your own business cards. The first is to use a word processing program. They are included on most desktop and laptop computers. Some of the programs have business card templates built in, or you can create the cards in a word processing sc

You offer a reliable, quality service. You know that if more people knew what you can do, you'd increase sales. So you advertise in the most likely media for potential clients to read about you. But there's no response. Why?If this scenario is familiar to you there's a few likely causes.1. Maybe your ad's aren't designed well - poor layout, inappropriate offer, etc.2. Maybe you have selected the wrong media, placement or timing.3. Maybe you shouldn't be advertising your services.Now I know there's a lot to consider when writing advertisements - creating "killer headlines", long copy versus short copy arguments, using white space, etc - and I could give you some ti

Introduction - Case StudyWhen my daughter Meredith (in her late twenties) asked me about starting up a boutique recently, the best advice I could give her was to say nothing. I must admit that I didn't really remember what a boutique was. Sure, I knew it was a shop, but the exact type of shop eluded me. So instead of embarassing myself by letting her know that her infallible, omniscient father really isn't the fountain of all wisdom as she thinks, I searched the Internet for a suitable source of information. (Ain't the net grand?)I eventually bought her an ebook titled, "FabJob Guide to Become a Boutique Owner" written by Debbra Mikaelsen, who has, according to the book,

Studies have proven that there is one reason why people don't do more referral business: they don't ask.

Mary needs her marketing department to develop some material for a crucial presentation to their client. In the past, Mary would make a quick phone call, or catch the marketing person in the hallway, briefly give the requirements...and run off to the next meeting (time is valuable, after all!). The marketing person, recognizing that his time is valuable, tosses the request on top of his stack of other "urgent requests" and moves on to his top priority (which at this point isn’t Mary, understandably).

This time, Mary takes an "Outcome Based Conversation" approach. First, she pictures exactly what she would like to have the outcome to be. In this case, she will have a brochure that describes the new product, some pictures, a sample, all the prices, and a PowerPoint presentation. She sees herself giving the presentation, and realizes that she missed including the manufacturing division, so she includes that person in the process. Now she goes back to the visualization. The presentation goes smoothly, the customer loves the product, Mary makes the sale, and can now afford to go on vacation.
She lists everything she needs and who will be needed to provide it. To guide her thinking, she asks herself these questions: What will this sale mean to the employees involved? How will they benefit? What's in it for them? Why is her request more important than all the other work that is piling up? Can they possibly fit hers request into their schedule? If th
