Do You Know and Plan For The 3Rs for Your Business
Everyone is familiar with the 3-R’s from school – reading, ‘riting and ‘rithmetic. This was our first introduction to an effective performance model. As proficiency increased in each R, performance was further enhanced. Effective performance models by their very design are a continuum that automatically raises performance to the next level.

Performance Coaching
Performance and performance development have to be measured in the consequences or the value to be expected alone. Value means, however, more than performance. Value is rather the result of the operational activity, added value for it so.

Managing Employees Performance
Measuring employee performance has come a long way from the annual performance appraisal to an on-going performance management process. In the past, managers and employees met once a year for the annual performance appraisal (review) to look back at the work done during the previous year and to evaluate what was accomplished. Human resources managers, managers/ supervisors and employees have come to realize that only looking back does little to improve performance. In recent years, there has been a shift away from performance appraisals to a more comprehensive approach called performance management.

Managing Performance: How To Conduct A Performance Review Right
One of the most common questions we get asked is: "We need to do annual performance reviews. Do you have a performance review form that we could use?" While admirable that the need to conduct a performance review is recognized, the purpose is often lost in the frenzy of filling out forms, setting up meetings with employees, and sitting through awkward, contrived discussions with them about their performance. The performance review is about managing and improving performance. It should be a motivating, inspiring process conducted not just once a year, but on a regular basis. In this article, we'll discuss how to effectively manage performance and provide tips for how and when to conduct a proper performance review.
Get Clues From Nature on Mastering Change

For many what to plant is a mystery. What was planted in the past no longer bears fruit.

How To Keep Your Business Afloat
I was talking with my good friend Doug Maurer the other day. Doug is the founder and owner of Brian-Kyles Construction, which is a landscaping company based in Northeast Ohio. Doug was talking with me about a plant in my front yard that wasn't doing so well. He was explaining how I should cut the shrub down to its base to re-balance the plant so the roots were larger than the plant itself. And then he said a magical quote, "plants don't want to die." It got me to thinking about how businesses are a lot like plants. Businesses don't want to die either. This is particularly true of small businesses.
