Staffing Shortages? Maybe You’re the Problem
Demographers are predicting that staffing shortages are only going to worsen in the coming years. Too many managers mistakenly assume the only way to keep people is to bite the bullet and pay more in salaries, benefits and perks. Unfortunately, those managers are often 'fixing' the wrong problem. Marcus Buckingham of the Gallop organization reported that the number one reason employees quit was their personal feelings about their immediate supervisor. Ask yourself if it's time your company took measures to fix the real problem when it comes to staff turnover - managers and supervisors are not equipped with the necessary skills to make their team members feel valued...

Why Succession Planning
Succession planning is not just a nice thing to do, but rather it is a necessary process that should be in place to protect the overall health of the organization – big or small. Who is going to step into your shoes when you get promoted, have a major medical problem or leave the organization? What is your retention strategy for the individuals who are important to the success of your organization?

Simple Strategic Planning for the Independent Retailer
Strategic planning guides a retail organization towards those goals that will provide the stakeholders with the results that will encourage continued investment in the organization. The plan becomes the roadmap for the ongoing growth of the organization. An effective strategic planning process is a key management tool for insuring a vital, growing organization. As the planning process becomes part of the day to day activities of an organization, the results will become the fuel to maintain and improve the planning process.

Lesson #5: “It's who you are as an organization that makes everything possible.”
If it is who you are as an organization that makes everything possible, then it is who you are as a leader that makes the organization what it is. Wrigley Jr.’s organization was a strong one because he was an even stronger leader.

HR can be the difference between success and failure in an organization. But what can an organization do if they don't have an HR professional on staff? This is the predicament faced by many companies.
10 Steps To Replacing Leaders
If you want an organization to grow you must develop leaders. Success or failure of an organization rises and falls on leadership. I believe it is equally true that the degree of success an organization can attain is directly proportional to its leadership potential. Those can be scary words, because it means that we must constantly be finding new leaders if we intend to continue to grow as an organization.

Don't Quit Planning During Uncertain Times

Twitter Away Part 1: Getting on the bike
Twitter. Even if you're not a net junkie, you will still have most certainly come across a mention of this social media as it is popping up everyone online - in the news, on blogs and forums, in online marketing information, and increasingly on business websites. This nifty little concept has been around since 2006, but it appears that the last year has really let Twitter take the reins of the social media realm and gallop full speed ahead in the lives of Internet users around the globe. It's not just celebrities and their die-hard fans crowding Twitter walls anymore - it has slowly made its way out of the ‘good for a laugh' category and become a major player in the legitimate business of social media for corporate use
The Impact of Coaching Salespeople and Sales Managers
Yesterday I presented at the Sales EdgeOne Three-Day Sales Summit and my co-presenter, Donal Daly, cited a statistic from Gallop: Organizations that use coaches get a 26% ROI from that effort. That statistic surprised me in two ways.
