What's the Secret of Effective Time Management? It's Not What You Think!
Time management is the process of trying to cram into a day more things that will fit. Think abut it. If you sat down and thought about all of what you need to do and made a big list of things you need to do in any day or week I'll bet you have a big list of things that are impossible to fit into one day. How can you squeeze 12 hours worth of work into 8 hours? You can't its impossible. But there is a solution...

Entering the ‘go-go’ zone with your eyes wide open
The Go-Go zone is that place a business can find themselves in that sounds like heaven. In reality, it is more often hell. It is the place where you have more business than you know what to do with, where it is all you can muster just to get orders processed and shipped. Keeping customers happy gets left by the wayside.

We forget that we deserve to be paid far more than any of our employees. Every week for week after week we are often challenged financially. We work 60 hours or more a year and possibly take a few weeks holiday when business is quiet and customers aren't buying. If this sounds familiar I am about to reveal exactly what you have been looking for

A Talent Driven Organization
“Winning is about having the best people on your team. It doesn’t help if you’re surrounded by people who are less talented than you are.” So much of leadership is about accomplishing results through others. The building of a great team starts with developing great leadership or a “great coaching staff” – a staff that gets rewarded for building a great, high performance team.

The building of a great team starts with developing great leadership or a great coaching staff - a staff that gets rewarded for building a great, high performance team.

This team will be responsible for the implementation process in your business.

Virtual Teams: Success For Small Business
When you create a virtual team, it becomes incredibly important to have clearly defined deliverables and timeframes. It is equally as important to ensure that your communications are clear. It's hard enough when people are in the same office to get all of these things working toegether, let alone when staff are in different time zones. Add to this, that you may have clients half way around the world, the whole team dynamic becomes more complicated. Developing a Virtual Team means that YOU, as the business owner, will be the Team Leader. As the Team Leader, you will be responsible for providing the guidelines, specific deliverables, deadlines and work parameters.

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.
