Millennials – Can’t Work With ‘Em…Can’t Work Without ‘Em: So what’s a company to do?
| |
| Millennials: The youngest members of your workforce, given that moniker becaue they began entering the workforce at the turn of the millennium. As with their older counterparts, they have their own set of stereotypes that come along with them: "Slackers" - "Whiners" - "The 'get a reward for everything' generation." How do companies, and particularly we Boomer bosses, make the most of these young people's capacities while we help them learn how to navigate a work world that will not always be as warm and fuzzy as was mom and the soccer coach? |

Being Accountable for Accountability.
| |
| Everywhere I go in my consulting practice, performance "accountability" is among the top two or three concerns of senior executives.
Accountability has various definitions, but the word is usually used to denote personal responsibility for getting desired results. It's an admirable idea, and all good managers and leaders want their people to be "accountable."
Of course accountability doesn't apply only to rank and file employees. Managers and leaders should be accountable for holding others accountable. After all, isn't getting good results with and through other people the very reason we have managers and leaders? |

Want to be a millionaire?
| |
| I would be a millionaire if I had a dollar for every time a client told me this was their aim.
When I ask my clients what they want to achieve in life it is often to have more money, or to have more time in their day. Admirable goals, but not as easy as they look. They’re hard to achieve first off. |

Managing Performance: How To Conduct A Performance Review Right
| |
| One of the most common questions we get asked is: "We need to do annual performance reviews. Do you have a performance review form that we could use?"
While admirable that the need to conduct a performance review is recognized, the purpose is often lost in the frenzy of filling out forms, setting up meetings with employees, and sitting through awkward, contrived discussions with them about their performance.
The performance review is about managing and improving performance. It should be a motivating, inspiring process conducted not just once a year, but on a regular basis.
In this article, we'll discuss how to effectively manage performance and provide tips for how and when to conduct a proper performance review. |

The Most Beautiful Word in the English Language
| |
| We often confuse humility with timidity. Humility is not clothing ourselves in an attitude of self-abasement or self-denigration. Humility is all about maintaining our pride about who we are, about our achievements, about our worth – but without arrogance.
Humility is one of the admirable characteristic of Level 5 leaders. These leaders direct their ego away from themselves to the larger goal of leading their company to greatness. These leaders are a complex, paradoxical mix of intense professional will and extreme personal humility. They will create superb results but shun public adulation, and are never boastful.
What does it take to be such a leader? |

Your Business Depends On Your Vitality
| |
| Being an entrepreneur is demanding. Many of my clients are entrepreneurs, and they're characterized by a willingness (some might say a compulsion) to work much harder than the average person. Whether you own a business, or you're the type of entrepreneur who's simply on a driven mission in your existing job, you probably push yourself pretty hard. In some cases, that admirable work ethic can be pushed too far.... |
