Preparing Your Product Expert for Tradeshows
The more complex your product is, the more likely you are to need a technical expert in your booth to explain the more arcane details. Even the best-trained marketing staff can’t always handle specialized questions.

4 Key Coaching Questions to Help Staff Step Up and Seize Opportunities
Many managers are so busy that they find themselves just giving answers and solving the problems that their staff bring to them. But what if you could stop yourself and instead of giving them the obvious solution that they should know anyway, ask them one of the 4 most powerful open questions to help them solve the problem for themselves? It will take just 1 minute and your self control. Want to try? Here are the top 4 most powerful questions to get your staff thinking.
As a Manager you must know your team
On your first few days of being the new manager, you need to be present for your staff. They will want to see you, they will want to ask you questions and they will be curious to know how you work. They may be nervous, skeptical or happy; a whole range of emotions. You will need to introduce yourself, maybe giving a bit of your background. When I have started a new role I always get all the staff together, provide them with details of my career to-date, what I expect from them, what they can expect from me, a few things about me – married, kids, hobbies, that sort of thing.
Evaluating Your Vision Planning
So, here are some of the tough questions I’m asking myself. While at this point these are personal questions I am processing, yesterday I shared these with our staff for their input and to spur their thoughts in similar directions. I welcome your input if you have questions or thoughts that would be good for us to consider or if you have insight for a church at our stage of its life-cycle.

Coaching Careless Staff
Managing careless staff can be very frustrating for both the manager and the team particularly if the staff member appears not to care about how their performance is affecting others. Here is how you can use a coaching approach to get staff to focus on fixing the problem themselves.
Coaching Passive/Aggressive staff
If you have staff on your team who aren't responding to you it may be because they are getting some benefit from it. These staff are often called Passive Aggressive staff. They may seem quiet perhaps sullen but they can be quite manipulative and quietly aggressive in getting their own way. Here's how a coach might handle them.

Give them wings and they will fly
To get the best out of your staff you really have to know them. If you are able to connect with your employees you are going a long way to being a successful manager. Take a typical supervisor, John, in an organisation. Could you answer the following questions about him? Why does John want to work for you? What has been his greatest achievement this year? Does he have a professional goal for 2010? How long has John been working for you? If you are unable to answer any of these questions about one of your own employees then you are probably out of touch with your staff, and out of touch with your business.
