Jennifer Lopez Lyrics
| |
| They may not win the Nobel Prize for Literature, but shrewdly composed Jennifer Lopez lyrics are becoming something of an anthem for a new generation of youth in the new millennium. Much like Bob Dylan’s “Times They Are A Changin’” defined the hopes and struggles of his own time, Jennifer Lopez lyrics are an iconic representation of the lives of today’s adolescents. |

Rod Stewart and Barry Manilow Could be Your Veteran Salespeople
| |
| Barry Manilow dominated the 70's with hits like "I Write the Songs" and "Copacabana". Rod Stewart dominated the 70's and 80's with hits like "Tonight's the Night" and "Hot Legs". But they are far more alike than that. They are both skinny 65 year-olds with coiffed blond hair and in the last few years received horrible face lifts. Oh yeah, women love them. Could they be the same guy? Were they separated at birth?
And they both behave like veteran salespeople!

Don’t just build a team; build a world class team
| |
| The new generation entering the workforce is more attuned to teamwork, and more likely to prefer group projects over individual projects than any generation to come. Leaders all across the nation have noticed, and some aren’t sure if it’s a good thing or a bad thing.
My answer? It depends. There’s nothing so powerful as an effective team, and nothing quite so destructive as a dysfunctional one. |

Creating A Store That Sells Through Education and Entertainment
| |
| Ever been lost and confused in one of these shops where the product is either unfamiliar or fairly technical – like home electronics, mobile phones or medicines? I regularly see customers in these places (and I am often one of them) that are just going through the aisles looking bedazzled, faced with rows of identically looking objects with some technical jargon words written on labels...
Simply putting stock on shelves and hoping that customers will buy it does not work, a different approach is required. |

Focus On Talent Management… It’s Your Future!
| |
| The future of your company depends on your ability to develop talent! The question is... are companies headed in that direction? I was recently in deep conversation with one of my mentors. He said, "Employees these days have no loyalty to the companies they work for. This new generation of employees doesn’t think about that stuff. For this reason, many companies today are less focused on developing their people. Many of these companies expect employees to invest in developing themselves." |

6. For-profit and NGO training activities
| |
| There are two basic types of private sector training institutions (PSTI) - for-profit and not-for- profit. For-profit PSTIs usually focus on the sale of training services. With economic liberalisation, most governments have adopted a more positive attitude towards PSTIs and have, therefore, taken steps to create a more enabling environment. Many NGOs are only involved in income generation and other activities (advocacy, life skills) where skills development is mainly on a learning-by-doing/learning-by-earning basis.

Design a Lead Generation Scorecard
| |
| “Lead Generation refers to the creation or generation of prospective consumer interest or inquiry into a business’ products or services. Often lead generation is associated with marketing activities, such as cold-calling, targeted at generating new sales opportunities for a company’s sales force.
Therefore a “lead” is correctly described as information regarding, or provided by, a consumer that may be interested in making a purchase. “Generation” is one of a myriad of activities that produces contact information and/or interest.”

Feelings of Entitlement
| |
| It is difficult for most kids who are working in the family business to not have some feelings of entitlement. After all, the main reason most entrepreneurs’ start their own business is to provide for their families. Once that is secure, thoughts of creating a legacy and passing the business from generation to generation become a natural progression for most founders, even though statistics show that business failure is alarming in second and third generation leadership. In fact, The Family Business Institute reports that only 12% of family businesses survive the third generation.
Feelings of entitlement are not necessarily a bad thing. It’s the attitude of the owner’s child that really matters. |

| |
| - Published in 'Engaging the 80's generation' - CONCHIUS 1 June, 2010. Many managers in China are concerned with the 80’s generation lack of self-control, often describing them as “too emotional” and not treating each other with respect.
