Leadership Assessment #5 – How People Treat Each Other
| |
| There are hundreds of assessments for leaders. The content and quality of these assessments vary greatly. You can spend a lot of time and money taking surveys to tell you the quality of your leadership. There are a few leading indicators that can be used to give a pretty good picture of the overall quality of your leadership. These are not good for diagnosing problems or specifying corrective action, but they can tell you where you stand quickly. Here is one of my favorite measures. It is how people in the organization treat each other. |

Some Holiday Traditions and a great Christmas Bread to Try Out
| |
| Most everyone who celebrates Christmas or other holidays around this time of year have traditions they preserve. If you have small children in the home, it is never too late to start celebrating traditions no matter how big or small they may seem to you. For your children who are already overwhelmed by the hustle and bustle of the season, taking out some quality time as a family to decorate, bake, sing or any other number of things can make the season even more important to your children. My holidays are better because of my son, my dog, Mo, friends, family and this gift from God: Cattle on 1000 Hills. You will not find me on this site as I have enlisted the help of a friend to share his phenomenal story.

What Exactly Is A Generational Coach?
| |
| It’s easy to give you “technical” stuff about Generational Coaching . . .
~ That I help family members know what to do and how to do it so that their elderly parents will willingly do what’s in their best interest;
~ That I work only with the family members, never the senior;
~ That all Generational Coaching is by phone;
~ And that I work with one person – or several people – by conference call so they will work together to confront the issues – not each other.

Become an Organized Caregiver: Master the Art of Herding Cats
| |
| Recently I received a call from a woman who attended my Balancing Work & Eldercare Needs seminar about a year ago asking if I would email or fax to her the information on "Mastering the Master Schedule". Apparently, with 2 kids entering middle school, she was feeling overwhelmed - much the same way she did when taking care of her father - like she was herding cats! She said she remembered how much the master schedule had helped her and her sister organize their father's care and thought it would be perfect to get her children's schedule under control, too!! |

Basic Eldercare Realities
| |
| I always say that for the best results, talk early and often with your aging loved so you can resolve your eldercare issues by choice, not crisis. The earlier you start talking, the easier it is to get plans in place. The better the planning, the easier it will be for them and you in the long term. |

13 Known Strategies that Stop Employees From Screaming
| |
| Have you ever wondered why people thrive in activities not related to their work but fail to have the same enthusiasm and/or output in what they are paid to do? Their morale is low, no personal accountability and their creativity in minimal from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday-Friday...Because the workplace has changed, employees need a new leadership approach to overcome their challenges. Unlike the Kamba women who expected their men to rid the community of the attacking forces, today's employees need the tools themselves. The workplace has become an unpredictable jungle and leadership needs to know why people with talents and experiences are dissatisfied and not using their potential-thus damaging the bottom line.

Leadership is “Net Time” and “Net Results” not “Gross Time”
| |
| Leaders always forget the other issues apart from their professional life such as family, friends, relatives, health and other major life activities. Leaders need to learn the importance of these things in their life. Once these things are shattered, you will never get them back. So, enjoy your life with your family and friends while concentrating on net time rather than gross time. |

5 Tips to Surviving the Holidays or Anytime Alone
| |
| Many things cause lonely feelings during the holidays making it such an extremely difficult time for many to get through. You may be too far away to see your relatives; you may be in a nursing home with no one to care about you; you may be dead broke during this “happy” time; many grieve the loss of a loved one, accentuated by their disappearance during a time when others are preparing for big family gatherings, although those events can even make you feel lonely. When so many of our people are deployed and families are separated, unless the one left behind has family to shelter them from the throes of loneliness, it can be depressing.
Just as there are many ways for someone to feel alone during the holiday season, there are many activities that need you and will help you feel better as you brighten the day for someone less fortunate |

Leadership, Fame, Success, and Jon Gosselin
| |
| Did you ever read a blog, check news headlines, watch a television program and have quick thought, sort of like, "what a jerk" or "they messed up"? We all do; mostly without having the whole picture in mind. We make statements about success, failure, winners, and losers.
Wonder what people think of you? Have you ever had employees complete a 360 feedback evaluation about you? Anyone ever blog about you, your company, your products; leave comments on Facebook or LinkedIn? The web and social media have changed the ways we communicate. It's a new world, new rule of conversing, and we are all in a steep learning curve about what is fair, right, ethical.

Smart Women Practice Quality Not Quantity
| |
| This article is about realizing that quality time is much better than the quantity of time we spend in all areas of our lives. Give yourself permission to schedule quality time and really “be” with your family and in your business rather than being there physically but not present. In this case, more is not always better. I find scheduling this “special” time with my family and in my business makes a big difference in the quality of my relationships. |

How to Generate Tax Efficient Income between Jobs
| |
| If you are like most people, looking for suitable employment in these uncertain economic times can be very challenging. This is particularly true when the employment you are seeking is for a specific job or in a field that you love. Indeed it can be very daunting if not downright frustrating.
The reality is that whether you have a source of income or not you still have bills to pay and few people have the luxury to view a wide range of possible job opportunities before they make a decision. What you really want, like most people, is to get the job search over as soon as possible to restore some kind of stability and perceived security to your life.

Idea of the Week A Clients Thanksgiving
| |
| This past week, a client of mine presented a family situation that needed tending to. If this problem wasn't handled, then Thanksgiving was bound to set a few feathers flying. My client’s challenge was with an in-law who spoke negatively about the rest of her family. She didn’t want to hear her family bad-mouthed and had repeatedly threatened to lose her temper if it didn’t stop. This had very little effect on the critical in-law who may have thought she was still in-bounds if no tantrum was forthcoming.

The Pitfalls of Being In Business With Family Members

Creating Great Family Relationships
| |
| When asked what is most important to them, most people respond with one word-family. When you have a family where love is expressed, and shown, the benefits are overwhelming. A happy family where respect, laughter, love, and fun exist is truly a bit of heaven on earth.
If your spouse is thoughtful, supportive, a teammate, and a friend, you'll attain greater happiness in all areas of life. If your children are close to you, bonding as siblings, developing mentally, physically, and spiritually, who can measure the joy you will know? When the trials of the world weigh heavily upon you, your family becomes a true source of strength, encouragement, and peace-a shelter from the storm. |
