Suggest You - Where Have All the Leaders Gone
The franchise business has been around a long time, in fact they go back as far back as the 1850’s. The notion of selling off a business or a part of a business in order to expand into new areas usually came from the lack of investment funds from the business owner. Through their creativity they were able to keep the business
No one during the process wants to be responsible for the solution. Instead all of the blame for any mistakes can be placed upon the whole team. "Well, we all agreed that was the way to handle this." So no one gets in trouble. If it turns out to be th
Crisis mis-management truth or paradox?This is the result of a management style that fails to consider a variety of forces at work in organizations today. Many executives and managers that I have interviewed during may career seem to have had a romantic love affair with this style of decision making, delegation, policy
It is easy to be a manager. Managers follow processes and monitor the action of people around them and insure the "Process" is being followed. Leaders on the other hand create independent thinking among their teams. They inspire pride. They stand out from the crowd and command respect. They are entrepreneurial. They are willing to take chances. They are innovative. They are willing to accept responsibility for decisions, right or wrong. They are people whom others will follow. Because of these characteristics, they do great things.
I am seeing a trend in business today that does not encourage leadership, and therefore does not produce leaders. Instead they produce managers. Here is what I am seeing. When a difficult challenge is presented to a manager, he or she will form a committee to discuss the issue before them. The committee is made up of team leaders (managers?) who sit around a conference room and throw out ideas regarding the challenge at hand. The committee may have appointed or been assigned a committee chair who will report back to the manager. When all of the ideas have been discussed, they vote on what to present to the manager.
The manager then takes this suggestion and forms another committee of peer managers and again the ideas are tossed around until a consensus is reached by the committee. The decision is then presented as the solution to the problem.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS CAN KEEP YOU FROM OPPORTUNITIESMost people can identify situations in which they dismissed an opportunity that someone else capitalized on later. Often these opportunities were overlooked or rejected because they were perceived as dull, boring, or unpleasant. You may recall the fairy tale of "The Ugly

Conference organizers are a group of professionals who make all necessary arrangements to make a conference a great success. These organizers work with guidelines to make the conferences uniform and unique. Guidelines generally apply to all conferences, symposia and workshops with the exception of an annual meeting, which has

There is an unnerving trend facing American businesses today: small companies are finding themselves embroiled in legal battles with an alarming frequency. These independent businesses, many of which are small-scale operations that survive on a meager budget, are faced with defending their intellectual property rights- everyth

There are many different paid to surf sites on the internet. These old websites are called H.Y.I.Ps or High Yield Investment Programs. They are all frauds and need new money to stay in business. The main reason these sites stick around is because back in 2000 there where many legit paid to surf programs. You could remember the
No one during the process wants to be responsible for the solution. Instead all of the blame for any mistakes can be placed upon the whole team. "Well, we all agreed that was the way to handle this." So no one gets in trouble. If it turns out to be the best decision since "sliced bread", then everyone begins posturing to take full credit for having originated the idea. What a hypocritical mess corporate America is making by encouraging this type of decision making.
That is why I really respect the small business owner. There is no committee to reach consensus. If the decision is wrong, the owner, not only bears the burden of being wrong, but pays the price for the error. If the decision is right, he/she goes on to the next decision, no fan fare and no pat on the back, but if lucky, will someday benefit from the decision.
It is easy to be a manager, just follow the processes. Leadership, on the other hand, is rare. How sad that is for corporate America.
