Dealing with Difficult People
A manager tolerates a difficult person for an extended time, hoping they’ll “come around” and thereby avoid a confrontation, until something happens – some event or challenge - and they feel they have no choice but to confront and often terminate them.

Identifying Poor & Pathetic Leadership Styles and Related Impacts
There seems to be a real deficit in good leadership and a large surplus of poor and pathetic leadership in many businesses today. One can easily find example after example of poor and pathetic leadership and the resulting impacts on employees, in particular, and the health of the business, in general. So what are these poor and pathetic styles of leadership? Your Strategic Thinking Business Coach offers a list of ten (10) styles of poor and pathetic leadership.

Microfinance - Where We Are Now: And Where We Are Headed
All of us who are involved in microfinance know that it is neither just nor economically tenable for financial systems in poor countries to serve only a tiny proportion of the population and exclude the vast majority. We are no longer alone in this. All over the developing world people are waking up to the fact that poor people need - and will pay for - a wealth of financial options, solutions and services, just like rich people. They are realizing that poor people represent a vast untapped market opportunity. And as a result we are witnessing poor people's finance becoming mainstream finance in most poor countries.

The redistribution of poverty
Governments and social movements the world over often call for the redistribution of wealth; that the people with money and assets should give some of these to the poor. They believe that it is merely the absence of cash that makes poor people poor. They are wrong.
Grameen Bank - Alternative Microfinance Approaches
Grameen Bank operates on the premise that the poor remain poor not because they do not have the skills or do not work hard, but because the institutions created around them keep them poor.
Stop Singin' the Blues
Sometimes home based business owners need to hear some "tough love”. It isn’t necessarily fun to hear, but at times, it is needed to make sure that you are staying on track with how you should be running your business. I am worn out from hearing the "poor poor me" bit; the complaining over and over again. Instead of whining about your situation, DO something about it. Instead of making excuses about WHY you can't succeed, leap into action to change things.
The Clock Starts Ticking - How not to bomb out with waiting customers
If you ask your customers, “Do you feel more time-poor or money-poor,” the answer almost always is time-poor.

The Fine Art of Pulling Weeds
Just as in any garden, in life, weeds are inevitable and frankly just evidence of our fallibility as humans. Weeds of fear, poor attitude, bitterness, laziness, indecision, ignorance, clutter, poor time management, failure to set goals, lack of exercise, poor eating habits, and neglected relationships. How often do we allow them to grow unchecked until they choke out our happiness, contentment, and success?

Prospecting for More Sales in a Bad Economy
A poor economy has too often become an excuse for poor performance of many businesses. While the current economic situation is a contributing factor, many of these businesses can perform much better. Most businesses in the U.S. are small and have sales that equal less than 1% market share. If your business has less than one percent of market share, it should be able to grow in any economy. One hidden area in which to find more sales is right under your own roof. According to “Baseline Selling” by Dave Kurlan, 60% of all sales people are not prospecting consistently, and 50% of all sales people won’t prospect. Combine those figures with the fact that 60% of all sales people suffer from the habit of making excuses, and I think we have uncovered one of the secrets to bringing more sales to your top line.

A Small Hole Can Sink A Big Ship - The Poor Performer and Other Like Obstacles
Of all the non-actions likely to negatively impact on a team’s morale, it seems none is quite so damning as a failure to respond promptly to a team member’s poor performance. Research consistently contends that business leaders lose most kudos when poor performance is left unattended and poor performers are able to continue their inappropriate behaviour without repercussion. Whilst many leaders may opt to avoid the situation of a poor performer and choose instead to alienate them in the hope they will leave of their own accord, the disharmony created through such a strategy is frequently so great that it infiltrates into other facets of the business.
Howling Dog
If you have made a poor choice of employment do something about it. For your own peace of mind do something! Anything is better than remaining in an unpleasnt situation. It is, of course, a different story if your current employment is necessary because of the economic situation. there is not much that can be done about this in the short term. You may have to put up with employment that you would not normally choose or which is possibly unpleasant. Internalise the fact that this is a temporary situation.
