Surviving A Tough Economy Requires Focused Workers
| |
| The unemployment rate now exceeds 9% and workers are scared. If a member of their family has not lost their job, they know someone who has. If they're lucky to still have their job, they may have had their pay cut, hours reduced, or seen their retirement fund evaporate. It's ugly and though we may be seeing faint signs of recovery, job losses are expected to hit 10% before we escape this economic calamity. Surviving in a tough economy requires a two-prong approach-addressing the immediate crisis, while positioning your organization for the long-term. Too many managers sacrifice their future by simply focusing on today.

Managing Upwards
| |
| One of the statements that is often made to trainers, speakers and coaches is, “My boss would not allow me to implement what you are saying” or “that is not the way we do things in our organization”.
It is very frustrating. Many managers send their people on learning and development activities and have no idea what the content really is and how they can best support the individual when the individual returns to work. So people attend and then do not apply their learning back in their work place.
Many people sit in frustration because their boss will not allow them to make a decision or take responsibility and act on it. Many middle managers are faced with these issues and the whole business is held back as a result. In these situations there is a need to understand how to manage upwards. It is about how to manage your boss.

Pipeline Management
| |
| Imagine a bath filled with water. Almost instantly the water begins to evaporate or can slowly seep through the plughole. Over a period of time the water level reduces and the temperature drops! The only way to keep the water level high and the water hot is to turn on the tap and continually refill it. Equally, you want to keep your prospects ‘on the boil’ by actions that continuously warm up and consolidate your relationship with them.
You certainly don’t want all your efforts to go down the drain!

5 Engaging Ways to Engage Your Audience
| |
| How engaged a customer is with your website will determine whether they can be persuaded to buy, comment, download or submit their information for you to follow up on.

Feeling Ignored
| |
| Dear Jane,
I get lost in a crowd, like I’m invisible. I pretend not to care and I know I make things worse by dressing in drab clothes. But I feel like I don’t matter to anyone. What can I do short of screaming, “Here I am! Pay attention to me!”
Being ignored—not feeling special or valued—is one of the most hurtful experiences to endure. Unless we’re so Britney Spears-like famous that we lose all privacy, I think all of us have felt invisible and ignored.
Given that the way you dress reinforces your pain, it’s likely that you have an old belief that you are unimportant. |
