How You Can Make A Huge Impact Using Continuous Improvement Tools
Continuous process improvement is a systematic approach to achieve both incremental and breakthrough improvements in processes. This results in effective, better and more efficient ways in producing products or services.
How To Build Confidence
Words of wisdom say that it isn’t who you are that holds you back but it’s what you think about yourself and who you think you are not. Being able to trust in yourself is what enables you to push past your perceived limits and take on risk. Leading contenders for the first position in the many secrets to success are self trust and self confidence.
Building Personal Courage and Resilience
The word courage means to be able to face fears with ones head held high. It is not the absence of fear that defines us as being brave. It is true that people experience fear every day and that it can be so strong that it paralyses them.
The Difference Between Working Hard and Working Smart
Many people think that because they work large numbers of hours they can claim to be the best workers in their industry. I disagree somewhat with this statement. Of course you do need to dedicate time to work. But at the end of the day it is the quality of work that people look at rather than the hours you have spent at it.
Why Do People Behave The Way The Do?
As we all know sometimes in life things can get rough, either from personal experience or from the experience of others. In those moments many things tend to go wrong simultaneously. When you discover the fact that problems are often social in that they seldom travel alone, it can actually feel as if everybody has it in for you.
Facing The Challenges Of Modern Management
There is a misconception that all managers are the same and that all organisations, wherever they may be, require the same style of management to function effectively. This is not the case. There are many influences that determine how a manager needs to work.
Questions To Ask Yourself Before You Publicly Speak
You have been aked to present. Oh no…where do you start? Here are several questions that will help you prepare:
Risk Takers Make The Best Managers
Management in the modern context in the developed world has had to grapple with many changes. Most of the traditional management styles as preached by the management gurus are no longer relevant anymore. How do you manage effectively in a work environment that is constantly changing?
What is Management and what do Managers do?
So this is your first role as a Manager. Exciting isn’t it? Are you excited and just a little nervous as the same time? You are entitled to be, you know. I remember my first day as a Manager.
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.
The Holy Grail of providing Shareholder Value
In the world of the listed companies, that is those listed on various stock exchanges, the term shareholder value tends to take on disproportionate significance. All eyes are constantly focused on ensuring that shareholders are kept smiling. It doesn’t take much to realise that this means that the company is gutted and robbed of all value to ensure that shareholders receive their return and more. If one doubted the validity of this statement it shouldn’t take long to cast ones eyes around and see how many large companies went belly-up or close to it in this recession. Whole industries took a nose dive.
7 reasons why you can overcome your public speaking fears
Whatever your reasons for wanting to overcome your public speaking fears; shyness, a speech at a wedding or family event, or for business/ career purposes reasons you can do it.
How you can work towards a happy life
Last night, my wife and I watched a movie called “A Simple Plan”. It started with a guy saying how happy he was with his life. He had a good job, steady income, a loving wife and some good friends. He was happy. Then with his brother and friend, they found millions of dollars and from then on, everything went wrong. He argued with his wife and brother. The stress of everything got too much and eventually he burnt the money.
When are you going to start enjoying your spare time?
We all live in a very busy world, don’t we? We jump from one task to another to another with no spare time in between. Many of us don’t enjoy time for ourselves. If you look at the stats, the number of personal breakdowns is rising. The number of cases of divorce is rising
Here’s how to Improve your Work and Life Balance
Not matter what office you work in, it is stressful. Whether you work for Google or a small 5-man business, it’s something that you simply cannot avoid. Nowadays, the world puts so many demands on us that we sometimes have to find a balance between work and play. We rush here, we rush there, we work longer hours, we have the family chores to do, we sleep and we want to have fun as well, don’t we? Unfortunately, work is taking over our lives and that impacts our lifestyle. Some of those that decide to put their lifestyle before their work can end up losing their jobs and that’s wrong but in today’s work environment, it is unfortunately true. But that doesn’t mean you have to ignore your personal life just so you can continue to climb up the ladder of job success.
Is the best manager skill management delegation?
Management delegation is a vital manager skill that, once mastered, frees the manager from stress and pressure and enables them to be more successful. A great manager knows about effective delegation. They know what tasks to delegate, picks the right delegate, and follows up on the jobs which have been delegated.
How to use the audience for dramatic effect when public speaking
Many of us would love to start mastering public speaking. One particular technique that works wonders in any public speaking engagement is to involve the audience. Think of when we converse with a friend. Unless we are extremely self-centred, the chances are that we don’t just talk and leave all the listening to the other person. We ask questions, we seek verbal as well as visual confirmation, we pause and we use rhetorical questions to improve the communication process.
Do you use your voice when you publicly speak?
To use the voice to best effect in a presentation involves us having to put a great deal of effort into the way we manipulate it. So how do you best use your voice?
How hungry are you?
Do you know what you want to achieve? Do you really want to succeed?
As a Manager you must know your team
On your first few days of being the new manager, you need to be present for your staff. They will want to see you, they will want to ask you questions and they will be curious to know how you work. They may be nervous, skeptical or happy; a whole range of emotions. You will need to introduce yourself, maybe giving a bit of your background. When I have started a new role I always get all the staff together, provide them with details of my career to-date, what I expect from them, what they can expect from me, a few things about me – married, kids, hobbies, that sort of thing.
What techniques should you use for engaging the audience when public speaking?
The big day has arrived and you need some public speaking confidence. You have been introduced to the audience and the topic of your speech has been announced. From this point on, you are the main focus of attention. You are on your own and all eyes are on you! This is where you start your performance. It’s not just a question of getting into your speech as quickly as possible, but mentally preparing both yourself, and the audience too, for what you are about to impart.
Is a fiery temperament the no 1 must have quality for great leadership
Alexander the Great died at the age of 32. But before his untimely death he had lead his armies to conquer the Achaemenid Persian Empire, adding it to Macedon’s European territories. It seems this was much of the world then known to the ancient Greeks. That story of conquered lands may make Alexander the Great one of the more successful leaders in recorded history.
Is this the traditional interpretation of Management?
There are some traditional views on management that cover four different aspects. These are planning, organising resources, leading and controlling or coordinating. These functions tend to be considered the tasks of management.

Ten Tips to Avoid Micro Management
Micro managing may make you feel in control but in reality you are only hurting yourself and the company. It only limits an employee's ability to be innovative and creative. This can cost the company thousands of dollars because it is the creativity and innovation of your employees that maximize the profitability of your company. Micro Management is often just a symptom of ineffective planning, too much compassion and the inability to judge performance and develop bench strength. Developing a strategic plan for your company is a very effective way to address any or all of these challenges. I often tell my clients that the most valuable part of a strategic plan is the development process itself. Running a company with a shoot from the hip mentality often encourages micro management and does not allow employees to develop their skills.

These skills can be learned at any time, especially if you decide to take the initiative and learn to develop them yourself. It is often hard to critique our own management style and skills, so you may decide to ask someone you trust for their feedback.

Are You a Real Leader or Just an Imitation?
The easiest way to suppress discretionary energy, the energy given willingly - no matter what it takes, is a style often used by "Imitation Leaders" that scrutinizes every decision an employee makes. It can kill the employee's spirit. It destroys trust. Leadership imitation is often just a symptom of ineffective planning, too much compassion and the inability to judge performance and develop bench strength. The "Imitation Leader" usually has a shoot from the hip mentality that encourages micro management and does not allow employees to develop their skills and maximize their potential. One of the many warning signs is a high turnover rate. The reason is simple; good employees just won't tolerate micro management and they will leave to find employment that will challenge them and help them grow.
