THE APOSTILLE PROCESS
I had my doctoral degree apostilled by the then US secretary of state (General Colin Powell – Ret.), thereby making it a recognized degree in every country that signed the Hague convention in the year 1961.

360 Degree Avalanche
There is an intrinsic attraction to 360-degree feedback. Traditional feedback processes are effectively one-degree type systems with, usually, the immediate supervisor providing the employee with uni-directional comment. By involving more than just one person in the feedback process, the process is likely to be more meaningful for both supervisor and employee with greater representation in the amount and type of information supplied. Those providing the multi-rater feedback may include peers, direct reports, other levels of management, internal and even external customers. Suppliers may also provide feedback and there is, of course, the opportunity for self-appraisal.

180 and 360 Degree Assessments for the Sales Force
There are not a lot of companies that undertake 180 degree or 360 degree assessments of the sales force and that's a good thing because there are so many limitations. The 180 - The salesperson or sales manager does a self-rating on the predetermined competencies and attributes and the individual's boss conducts the same ratings.

So the 180 and the 360 are nearly the same except for the number of people and the vertical depth. What are the limitations?

Licensing v. Franchising
This article discusses the elements of a trademark license and of a franchise and the "Twilight Zone" between the two with respect to the degree of assistance the licensor provides and the degree of control the licensor exerts over the licensee method of operation. The danger is having a license agreement ruled to be a franchise and the licensor to be in violation of the FTC Franchise Rule and state unfair and deceptive trade practice laws for failure to comply with the pre-sale disclosure requirements of the FTC Franchise Rule.
Leadership - The Skills You Must Cultivate
No one has all the skills of management or leadership to the same degree, any more than they have the personality traits to the same degree.

Organizational Measurement and Feedback Pathways and Pitfalls (Part Two)
Get teams to develop their own measures. Make sure they're broad, balanced, and simple. Get the measurement points as close and as immediate to the activities being performed as possible. Move your team and organization to a 360-degree performance feedback system - starting with you. 360-degree feedback involves gathering data and performance perceptions from the people reporting to you, the people you serve in the customer/partner chain, your suppliers, and the manager(s) you report to. Your role in helping others on your team move to this approach, is that of a coach. You will provide your performance feedback as one of the many sources for your team and individual members.
