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!! |

| |

Dr. Hersey clearly identified different skill sets related to managing and leading people based on their skill set and based on the particular leadership situation. His groundbreaking work identified some of the possible disconnects when leaders utilize the same skill set to manage leaders as they do when they supervise entry level workers. In his model, when leading leaders, you can no longer be directive, use a cookie cutter approach and overly define the process details and steps. |

How not to abandon your e-procurement initiative
| |
| MARK HENRICKS' ARTICLE "Flaw and Order" (Entrepreneur Magazine, September 2004) referenced a behavioral economics study that identified the eight hidden strategy flaws frequently championed by corporate decisionmakers. The sunk-cost effect - based on the premise of throwing good money after bad - and the herding instinct are the two that seem to relate specifically to the challenges associated with e-procurement initiatives. |

Don't be a Copy Cat You may end up in Court
| |
| Beware if you want to try and copy someones idea do some research! Names count if you try to get close to someones name you just might find yourself in court!

How to Use Twitter as a Twool
| |
| I may get more value out of Twitter than anyone else on the planet because I use Twitter as a tool—specifically as a marketing tool—for my website Alltop and my book, Reality Check. If the concept of using Twitter in a commercial manner interests you, keep reading. If it doesn’t, then you can continue to send and receive tweets about how cats are rolling over and the line at Starbucks. |

Social Media Marketing…The Challenge of Herding Cats
| |
| Social media marketing, communications. Gawd it sounds like soooo much fun...so interesting...so challenging...so mano y mano! Too bad everyone thinks of it as just another marketing/advertising tool to push ideas, products at folks. That isn't what social media communications is all about. It's about the customer. So start with the one you've got. Work with him/her. Make them happy...very happy. Help them be your advocates, your promoters. They'll tell a few folks how good your company, products, services are and in "almost" no time word will spread round the globe. Get out there. Get your hands dirty. You can't herd cats. You can't herd consumers. Get in the saddle with the attitude you can and they'll turn on you. Show they why your product/service is so good. Show them how to install, troubleshoot, use it. Then .. |
