5 Caveats to the "Open Door" Policy
Most organizations have an "Open Door" policy to protect employees from bully supervisors. The idea is to make it safe to bring a problem to a higher level of management. The method can be helpful, but I have found it to be fraught with problems. This paper describes five of the most significant problems with the "Open Door" Policy and suggests a simple antidote.

People Management - Having An Open/Closed Door Policy

I visited the new Apple store in NYC on 14th Street yesterday. This one isn't as flashy as the one in midtown, and it has a fairly annoying design flaw. The two front doors don't close. Push them open, walk away and the door stays open.
Discover How to Follow Your Heart
When you become aware of the root of achievement, every door you wish to go through will open wide. It truly is the key to success. Whether you use it to open the door or not is your choice, something you have total control over. Whether you choose to open the door or not depends solely on your heart-set, not your mind-set. A mind-set is a fixed mental attitude formed by experience, education, and tradition. A mind-set is not the reason you succeed. In fact, it is often the reason you fail. The things you have your mind set on are often either expediencies and emergencies or idle reveries, so your prevailing mind-set lacks the power to sustain effort over time toward the kinds of lifetime achievements that bring real fulfillment.
The Serendipity Factor
Incredible things happen independently of those you personally create. I call these serendipitous blessings. When you're pushing hard on door A, someone or something opens door B. Often, when you look through door B, what's behind it is much better than what you were going after in the first place. However, you wouldn't have seen door B open if you hadn't been in the hall pushing on door A. Get in the here and now and look for the other opened doors, or go open some doors on your own.
How come we live in America and yet so many can't reach the American dream?
It is really a simple answer. We learn how to drive. We learn how to read. We learn how to write. No one teaches us the definition of perseverance and how to manage finances whether personal or business. No one teaches you BEFORE you open your business how to market. Many people have great ideas, great locations and no idea how to get the word out. How do I know this, been there done that. Like many online, I spent a great deal of money to open an online business. I paid for the website design. I paid for the auto responder and the merchant account. Problem was, as I sat there with all that in my lap, there was no real map as to now what. The door was open, the clock was ticking and no one was stopping by my website. It is my hope that by passing on this knowledge I gained the hard way, you can avoid some of the same pitfalls.

Most government or legal writing is passive, such as “enclosed in this envelope is a contract.” Something more active would be: “you’ll find in this envelope a contract I’ve included.” Passive writing is usually without a person doing something in the sentence. Active writing is when you have somebody doing something in the sentence. “The door was open” is passive. “Joe opened the door” is active. “Joe kicked open the door,” is even more active.
