Leveraging Your EMT (Executive Management Team)
First of all we need to define exactly what an EMT (Executive Management Team) is. Your EMT can be anything you define it to be. Predominantly it should be made up of your most trusted Managers currently playing an important role in the company's success. The top managers in your company are the ones to carry the message and insure execution of your plan. If you have high level managers that you don't trust or you don't feel can contribute to the team effort --- you might just have the wrong person in that position.

When Was The Last Time You Measured The Effectiveness Of Your Small Business
YOUR PERCEPTION VERSUS REALITY In today’s complex business environment there are too many demands on our time. New technology is available to streamline procedures and information gathering yet we have become a slave to this technology. As we become familiar with the new hardware and software, we rely on the information they make available and consider it the best approach to analyzing our business. Less and less time is dedicated to hands on, real world analysis of our business. Although the technology provides us with quantitative information and trend analysis, it cannot sense a decline in the way we are actually conducting business. We have a snapshot of today’s reality with no looking glass into the future. Is your VISION of the company being diluted once it reaches the frontline of your company?

Are You a Great Manager?
A twenty-five year Gallup study of over eighty thousand managers discovered the secrets of great managers. Here’s what the research uncovered -- Great managers hire employees based on talent, not experience. This flies in the face of the arguments I hear from sales managers all over the country. They want experienced salespeople. Gallup found that great managers look at talent, not just history.
Insight Into Incompetence of Managers & Executives, From Your Strategic Thinking Business Coach
One of the most common topics of conversation in today’s workplace is the incompetence of managers and executives. And there does not seem to be any evidence that this subject is going away anytime soon. In addition, the managers and executives are very fearful that their subordinates will discover how really incompetent they are. And again, this fear of being “found out” is actually well founded. What is the magnitude of failure among managers and executives? According to one research study, 4 out of 10 newly promoted managers and executives fail. Think about this – that is a 40 PERCENT FAILURE RATE! Why do managers and executives fail? Based upon more than 35 years of experience and observations, your strategic thinking business coach offers a list of ten (10) top reasons for failure.

Becoming The Employer of Choice - How to boost staff loyalty - without buying it
With regional labour shortages intensifying, some managers are struggling to keep even mediocre employees. Unfortunately, far too many managers figure the only way to gain staff loyalty is to buy it. That’s a myth – and it’s an excuse that you shouldn’t accept of yourself or other managers. Of course money is important – but there is another way to gain employee loyalty that doesn’t cost a thing...
Managers Only Gain 4 Per Cent Pay Rise
According to Incomes Data Services, Managers have averaged pay rises of 4% in recent months. A study covering 26,000 managers showed that pay rises had only kept pace with the rate of UK inflation. So 4% is the average. That means some managers get more and some get less. How can you ensure you get more, much, much more?
Writing SMART Goals (also called KRAs) from Job Descriptions
Many Managers (Including HR managers responsible for writing others Goals) often ask to help them onHow to Write Goals KRAs for Sales HR Finance Managers and Executives creating Goals (Key Responsibility Areas) for different designations, which they can use for setting Goals and/or conducting performance appraisals. While most of these managers are completely aware of their job profile, they find it difficult to shape it in a written form.
So what is the Definition of a Manager?
A classic definition of what managers are about is that ‘Leaders do the right thing and managers do things right’. A more standard definition is that managers would work towards the organisation’s goals using the resources at their disposal. It of course also depends on the size of the organisation. Larger companies might require managers to oversee the efforts and achievements of a further level of managers. A General Manager might have several other managers reporting to him or even several levels of management reporting to each other.
How Managers Undermine Employee Performance
Are you working in an organization where managers know how to motivate people? Are managers held accountable for listening to their employees and addressing any complaints? I coach a number of managers who consistently complain about certain employees, but don't take the time or make the effort to address any underlying concerns. Effective managers listen to their employees, and are open to any feedback that will improve work place performance. Spend enough time in meetings or the executive lunchroom, and you're destined to hear your fair share of managers' complaints about their employees.

Are You Genuinely A Leader Or Merely A Manager?
Without managers, the visions of leaders remain dreams. Leaders need managers to convert visions into realities. For continuous success, organizations need both managers and leaders. However, as most seem to be over-managed and under-led, they need to find ways of having both at the same time. Perhaps the best way to handle this paradox is for managers to aim to be managers when viewed from above, leaders when viewed from below and to remember that the need for leadership grows as we move up the organization. This is only one of the challenges that can make working life fun.

Project Managers and Project Management Software
Project managers always have a vital role in every project. The increasing demands of the businesses have made the role of project managers very essential and complex. This increases higher expectations from the upper management to the project managers as should possess certain characteristics.

\'Do As I Say, Not As I Do\' Doesn\'t Cut It Any More
More and more, I hear managers express frustration over the behavior of the people they lead. They complain about their failure to take initiative and responsibility, grumble about lateness to meetings or lousy teamwork. But it's so much easier to point fingers elsewhere. For when it comes to their own behavior, many of those same managers aren't acting any differently than the people they complain about. Too few managers model what they demand from others. If you're a manager, ask yourself: How often do I seem to be saying one thing while doing another? How often am I practising what I preach? Managers who want to stop giving out mixed signals need to hold up the leadership mirror and make sure they are satisfied with what they see being reflected back.
