6 Critical Elements in Creating Successful Web-Marketing Campaigns
Marketing can be an extremely frustrating and expensive exercise if we mistakenly view it as merely an advertising function.

High Performance Sales Leadership
In sales, whether to lead or not to lead that is the question (all apologies to Shakespeare here). Or to put it another way, whether to lead or to manage in order to drive the required business results. There is no simple right answer to this apparently simple question.
Monkey Management
We've all heard the expression "getting the monkey off your back". In a management context, the "monkey" is a metaphor for issues/projects that small business managers or owners take off the backs of their employees and place on their own.
Six Stages in the Evolution of a Business Requirement
Business requirements exist in the wilds of organizations around the world. We do not really know whether business requirements exist at all until we capture them. To ensure the safety of the business community and the developer community, the job of the business analyst is to tame these requirements. To be tamed, the requirements has to evolve through the phases of sentenced, whatified, scoped, clarified, quantified, and confirmed.
Are Multiple Supply Chains Important (Survey Response 7)
A 2006 Report made the following statement: "Designing and operating multiple supply networks to meet the needs of specific market segments--supply chain innovation and the use of multiple supply chains will be important to future revenue and market share growth." Based on your own experience is this an accurate assessment? If yes, why? If no, why?
Entrepreneurship and the Global Economy
Entrepreneurs are the bedrock of the capitalist system, and their development has to be seen in the context of the development of societies that allow and even encourage private accumulation of capital for investment. Although traders are the foundation of a market economy, it is primarily the rise in broad-based manufacturing investment and the social division into owners and workers that distinguishes a pre-capitalist from a capitalist system.

Easy to be Foolish About PR
Managers: please don't make these three really foolish goofs made by too many business, non-profit and association managers.
Are You a Great Manager?
A twenty-five year Gallup study of over eighty thousand managers discovered the secrets of great managers. Here’s what the research uncovered -- Great managers hire employees based on talent, not experience. This flies in the face of the arguments I hear from sales managers all over the country. They want experienced salespeople. Gallup found that great managers look at talent, not just history.
Insight Into Incompetence of Managers & Executives, From Your Strategic Thinking Business Coach
One of the most common topics of conversation in today’s workplace is the incompetence of managers and executives. And there does not seem to be any evidence that this subject is going away anytime soon. In addition, the managers and executives are very fearful that their subordinates will discover how really incompetent they are. And again, this fear of being “found out” is actually well founded. What is the magnitude of failure among managers and executives? According to one research study, 4 out of 10 newly promoted managers and executives fail. Think about this – that is a 40 PERCENT FAILURE RATE! Why do managers and executives fail? Based upon more than 35 years of experience and observations, your strategic thinking business coach offers a list of ten (10) top reasons for failure.

Managers Only Gain 4 Per Cent Pay Rise
According to Incomes Data Services, Managers have averaged pay rises of 4% in recent months. A study covering 26,000 managers showed that pay rises had only kept pace with the rate of UK inflation. So 4% is the average. That means some managers get more and some get less. How can you ensure you get more, much, much more?
Writing SMART Goals (also called KRAs) from Job Descriptions
Many Managers (Including HR managers responsible for writing others Goals) often ask to help them onHow to Write Goals KRAs for Sales HR Finance Managers and Executives creating Goals (Key Responsibility Areas) for different designations, which they can use for setting Goals and/or conducting performance appraisals. While most of these managers are completely aware of their job profile, they find it difficult to shape it in a written form.
So what is the Definition of a Manager?
A classic definition of what managers are about is that ‘Leaders do the right thing and managers do things right’. A more standard definition is that managers would work towards the organisation’s goals using the resources at their disposal. It of course also depends on the size of the organisation. Larger companies might require managers to oversee the efforts and achievements of a further level of managers. A General Manager might have several other managers reporting to him or even several levels of management reporting to each other.
How to get EIS relief if you're an owner-manager
Tax relief under the Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS) is normally associated with business angels and passive investors in unquoted trading companies, rather than their owner-managers. There is a common misconception that owner-managers cannot qualify for EIS relief in respect of equity investments in their companies. But in certain circumstances, if the investment is carefully structured, there may be an opportunity for owner-managers to claim EIS relief.
How Managers Undermine Employee Performance
Are you working in an organization where managers know how to motivate people? Are managers held accountable for listening to their employees and addressing any complaints? I coach a number of managers who consistently complain about certain employees, but don't take the time or make the effort to address any underlying concerns. Effective managers listen to their employees, and are open to any feedback that will improve work place performance. Spend enough time in meetings or the executive lunchroom, and you're destined to hear your fair share of managers' complaints about their employees.

Are You Genuinely A Leader Or Merely A Manager?
Without managers, the visions of leaders remain dreams. Leaders need managers to convert visions into realities. For continuous success, organizations need both managers and leaders. However, as most seem to be over-managed and under-led, they need to find ways of having both at the same time. Perhaps the best way to handle this paradox is for managers to aim to be managers when viewed from above, leaders when viewed from below and to remember that the need for leadership grows as we move up the organization. This is only one of the challenges that can make working life fun.

\'Do As I Say, Not As I Do\' Doesn\'t Cut It Any More
More and more, I hear managers express frustration over the behavior of the people they lead. They complain about their failure to take initiative and responsibility, grumble about lateness to meetings or lousy teamwork. But it's so much easier to point fingers elsewhere. For when it comes to their own behavior, many of those same managers aren't acting any differently than the people they complain about. Too few managers model what they demand from others. If you're a manager, ask yourself: How often do I seem to be saying one thing while doing another? How often am I practising what I preach? Managers who want to stop giving out mixed signals need to hold up the leadership mirror and make sure they are satisfied with what they see being reflected back.
