The Power of Appreciation and Gratitude
Sure, we're polite. We always say "please" and "thank you"... to strangers at least. But for some reason, it seems that we often forget to say "thank you" and show our appreciation to the people who are closest to us; to our family, our co-workers, our employees, our teachers.

How to Deal: Difficult Leaders

Your office morale is low, although your productivity is at a constant, sub par level. The atmosphere in the organization is that of sheer terror and dissatisfaction, not because of a near miss deadline, but because a supervisor has an overly authoritative approach to leading his team, or department. Such a scenario is not as far-fetched as it may seem. In many organizations, an over zealous (but well meaning) supervisor or manager may exercise severe leadership tactics in order to create the most successful team possible. Unfortunately, for the employees, such a leadership leads to dissatisfaction to the organization and later, a loss of talent for the organization as dissatisfied employees begin to leave. In this edition of Astronology, The How to Deal trilogy will discuss difficult managers.

Marketing Opportunities in Difficult Economic Times

"Business as usual" is NOT the most effective strategy for surviving/thriving during economic downturns. Consumers don't stop buying during tough times but they do buy more cleverly.

Management actions that speak louder than words

Do as I say, not as I do. This doesn't seem to work in parenting and it doesn't work in business either. Communication, despite knowing it to be a problem, continues to be a challenge in most organizations. Typical results-driven managers mistakenly feel that once they have said something once, everyone should have heard and understood the message and be willing to implement immediately. In the absence of plentiful and repeated communication, most messages in an organization are communicated non-verbally through the actions observed. In fact these non-verbal messages define the organization's culture over time. Here we identify four management actions that transmit plenty of information to the organization about what is valued and not valued.

Work From Home Business Means Giving Up Your Day Job Mentality

Work from home business and a day job mentality are opposites that do not attract. A job mentality is getting up in the morning and going out to put in an 8 and one half hour work day. When the work day is done you come home to relax, put your feet up and forget about the workplace until the next day when you start all over again. The tasks you are expected to carry out are clearly identified when you accept the job. All of that changes when you work for yourself. Dreaming of a home based business often includes a scene where you are sitting in an easy chair sipping coffee or your favorite beverage with the phone at your side. If that phone is not ringing off the hook then you are dreaming about a vacation not a home based business business. You must understand that owning a work from home business means giving up your day job mentality.

How Do I Start A Going Green Business?

The recently coined term, “going green”, has become a well-known household expression in the past few years. Essentially, going green means adapting your lifestyle in an attempt to do as little damage as possible to the environment. Homes have begun going green by doing things like having compost boxes so there is less garbage in the landfills. So, we know the basics behind how an individual goes green, but many companies or entrepreneurs have started to ask themselves: how do I start a going green business? Getting a whole business to go green is a little more difficult and definitely requires more work in order for it to actually be effective. A greener workplace involves everyone in the company, not just an individual effort.

How to Effectively Manage Remote Workteams

As an outsourcing company, we work with offshore workteams as a matter of course. The two most pressing challenges we continually face are those of managing and measuring the outsourcing performance of our remote workteam, and facilitating communication between local co-workers and the remote workteam as they collaborate on projects. With most local workteams, outsourcing managers can set a series of milestones and checkpoints, and manage to those deliverables. However, when outsourcing to a remote workteam, this approach becomes problematic due to the distance and lack of regular workteam visibility. Here are a few of the things we believe are keys to successfully maximizing outsourcing workteam relationships:

10 Activities for Local-Remote Workteam Building

I was sitting in our conference room working on a project with a few on-site co-workers the other day - 5 professionals meeting to discuss a specific work-related project with the occassional sidebars about family, golf, airplanes, dating, and politics - when I started to think of the other 8 remote individuals that are part of our workteam. I started to think of the value that interpersonal relationships contribute to the overall success of a workteam and the greater company which employs and tasks it... When the meeting ended, I took a few minutes to sit down and come up with the following local-remote workteam activities...

Social Disease

I have always subscribed to the philosophy of “work hard - play hard”. But I always separated my play FROM my work. What I am referring to is my resistance to socialize with my employees or management peer groups as I worked my way up the corporate ladder. There is an inherent danger in creating a social environment within the workspace that spreads to the after work space. This almost ALWAYS ends badly. Here is my list of No-No’s:

Isn't it amazing how masterful we can become at denial, procrastination, and avoidance, constantly making excuses for why we aren't accomplishing the goals WE SAY WE WANT!

Though it's maddening when I hear someone say it... I just don't have time... I honestly believe they think they don't have enough time or can't have it all.
