PROGRAM MANAGEMENT PLANNING
Effective and efficient management of a contract is critical to its success. In addition, management methodology should be based on a clear understanding of the client’s requirements and past experience. Proactive management, direction, control, and motivation of project personnel are the cornerstones of successful management plans.
Shades of Grey
A paperweight sits on my desk, etched in silver the message: Life isn't always black and white. It serves as a reminder there are few absolutes at work (or in life). Yet, it would be easier if there were; if good ideas from bad, trustworthy people from non-trustworthy, and right paths from the wrong ones could easily be discerned. I've learned in twenty years in management that increasing one's perspective increases the grey, as words like always and never become obsolete for describing most situations and most people.
The Karma of Connections
The ability to build rapport with customers and prospects is vitally important. Why? Because, if you have rapport with your customers, they are more likely to trust you, listen to you and communicate openly with you. This in turn enables you to interact more comfortably and work more effectively together. Rapport dramatically increases your chances of winning a sale. Additionally, Having rapport means that when there are tough issues to discuss, for example price increases, you can more easily find agreement and solutions and move on.

Consensus Building Can Be Too Much of a Good Thing
There are a lot of upsides to building consensus in organizations, and generally, it tends to be very good for company culture and morale. However, it does have its downside too in that it also increases the chances that nothing will get done. Now, I’m all for enlisting the opinions of others, and happen to personally enjoy weighing multiple perspectives against one another in order to learn something new or see something in a way I hadn’t seen it before. But sometimes instead of helping, the exercise of pursuing “agreement,” does more to hold things back. Why? Because it’s not very often that everyone agrees, especially as the size of a group increases. So while “consensus” is “in” and considered politically correct, it can also be equally as unrealistic a goal if it is not exploited properly.

Getting to 'Yes' When Negotiating a Lease Renewal
A client called me recently with a dilemma. She has operated a successful retail business in the same location for 16 years. She believes that the location is important for her business and has contributed to her success. However, her new landlord had presented her with a new lease. The lease required annual rent increases - increases which my client knew would immediately hinder the business' financial health, and at a time when she could least afford it. She didn't think her new landlord was open to what she needed to accomplish, so she called me.
