Lesson #1: Managers Are a Company’s Main Motivators
When Noyce and Moore went to work for Shockley Semiconductor Laboratory, both thought it was the opportunity of a lifetime. Within the industry, Shockley was considered a phenomenon; his physical intuition was legendary. “One of my colleagues claimed Shockley could see electrons,” says Moore. “He had a tremendous feeling for what was going on, say, in silicon.”

Telus’ Leadership Lesson in Brand Mismanagement
Telus, Canada’s second largest phone company, decided to be the first wireless provider to offer to sell downloads of pornographic images and videos. I’ll leave it to others to debate the morality of pornography on the Internet. The issue I want to tackle is how ‘leadership’ in such a large company decided this was a good business decision…
Home Business Opportunity - Managing Expenses
Home business opportunity expenses are generally given little attention when starting a new business. Generally business opportunity promoters generally only talks about the income opportunity and seldom if ever discusses the expenses that will be incurred with running a home business opportunity.
The Irony of “Risk” in the Markets
Right now in the markets, there are essentially 2 trades: risk-taking and risk-averting. The risk-taking trade can be summarized as US dollar and Japanese yen down, bonds down, everything else up. Risk-averting is just the opposite. Oh sure, you get the occasional stock that goes down because of blatant corporate mismanagement, but overall stocks will go up if the dollar declines.
Frankie Valli and Jersey Boys Good Metaphor for Recession Worn Companies
The Broadway shows All Shook Up, featuring the music of Elvis Presley, Movin' Out, featuring the music of Billy Joel, and Mama Mia, featuring the music of Abba, were all very enjoyable, fun evenings, but the stories were contrived to fit the music. Like so many sales calls I've been witness to, the presentations (shows) were created to fit the product (music) because they didn't have a good story that stood on its own.
SO, you want to be Wealth, do you?
Just as the old blues song goes, "Everyone wants to go to heaven, but nobody wants to die!" So goes wealth. It seems today everyone wants to be rich but few want to work for it. Today the best way to control your destiny and to build equity for yourself is to work for yourself. In today's uncertain economic times, jobs are precious and the "protected" job is something of a dinosaur. You simply must get yourself into a situation where you control your destiny. It's getting scary when companies cut staff hours to 39 hours a week so they don't have to pay benefits. Or, loyal employees are laid off weeks before retirement benefits kick in. Or in some highly publicized cases where long term employees lose everythin

Is Buying a Franchise a Wise Career Choice?
It’s a common tendency nowadays among people seeking to escape the 9 to 5 trap of corporate America to consider going into business for themselves. After all, the idea of becoming your own boss and running your own business however you please is very appealing. What makes franchising such a popular choice is that it combines the benefits of independency and security of a preexisting brand name and business plan, into one neat little package.

Are Your People Skills Killing Your Profits?
If you listen to the conversations from people who are not self-employed you'll notice they will often discuss the problems they have with management. Having two members of my family, my daughter Tia and husband Tama working as employees, many of our daily catch-ups are centred on this topic.

no matter how adept top executives have been in working the art of Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A), many are now singing the post M&A blues. According to a KPMG International study, 83% of mergers and acquisitions fail due to mismanagement of cultures. Merging balance sheets it turns out is far easier than merging cultures. Executives must therefore analyze the culture of the two companies before considering a merger or acquisition.
Where Has All The Talent Gone?
Even with the best of the best, some companies go down in greed and mismanagement. As they all compete for ‘human resources’ they fight the fiercest battle in the high-tech fields. And a win doesn’t mean you’ll hang onto your prize. Loyalty to the boss faded fast thanks to downsizing and companies dumping their retirement plans.
