Improve the Effectiveness of Your Meetings
| |
| Here are five tips to improve your meetings.
1. Reduce griping and venting. The leader of the meeting can allow people to vent, but not have it become a debilitating whirlpool.
2. Use the agenda wisely. Know when to follow the script and when to rip it up.
3. Summarize the discussion frequently. This prevents an endless cycle of people in violent agreement.
4. Agree to disagree. Use the rule of three to cut off acromony without hurting people’s feelings.
5. Manage the time efficiently. Make sure people feel the value in the meeting time.

2 Ways to Avoid Being Micromanaged
| |
| Most of us have complained about this well-known situation at some point. What steps do you take to avoid the problem?
My personal view is that if you can accomplish the following two things, the chances of being excessively micromanaged are significantly reduced.
1) Be credible. Do excellent work and anticipate questions that might come up. Do your homework well and take preventive actions before being asked.
2) Over Communicate. If you get to the boss before he or she gets to you, then the potential to be micromanaged goes down.

Leaders knows the value of present.
| |
| We know price of everything but we do not know value of present. "No man is rich enough to buy back his past." Endorse by Oscar Wilde.
Present is gold gift from the nature. I think there is no time like present. The only necked truth of time is present. Even to live in past and to cherish golden memories are again a wasting of present. We can create one more everlasting moment in that present.AHH! YES!!!
Using present at fullest with 100 percentage energy is living. We should spend all those moments for contributory chapters of the life. Finally, life is gifted to all of us to live not to become successful. |

Smart Women Practice Quality Not Quantity

I find scheduling this “special” time with my family and in my business makes a big difference in the quality of my relationships. |

Keeping Your Work and Life in Balance
| |
| Do you remember when hotel rooms didn't have coffee makers? I recall vividly the first time I walked into a hotel room and discovered a coffee maker. I didn't even drink coffee back then, but I made it, simply because having the coffee pot was so cool. Then people got used to it. Customers got spoiled. They wanted more.
The bad news is that it doesn't stop. People will always get used to things the way they are, become more demanding, and wanting more. Such it is with technology and speed. Everyone asks me when things will "return to normal" and "slow down." It won't. The speed at which you're operating is now what's expected. Welcome to the new normal! |

127 Hours & The Notion of Valuing Time
