Every home relies greatly on electrical power but there are times when power outage occurs. If you want to pick the right portable generator, there are some things that you should know.
The portable generator is available in three styles recreational, emergency, and professional. The very first thing that you have to do is to pick a style and after that, you can already find a quality portable generator.
If you love to go hiking and camping, you will need a recreational generator. As the...
Mediocre Attitudes And The Downfall of Greatness
It all started innocently enough as I was looking for casters. I had this idea for a piece of exercise equipment and decided to build a prototype but I needed casters - those swivel wheels that go under office chairs, carts, etc. I had to ask three sales clerks where to find them in the big box hardware store before the third clerk actually looked in the computer to figure out where they stocked them. Reluctantly, I purchased four casters from them. It turns out that it wasn't just the service...
The Attitude of "Good Enough"
If you've been watching TV recently, you will have seen the new commercials for GM. GM is now touting their quality - something the average consumer is certainly not used to seeing GM do. It first surprised me a little that GM decided it was time to start marketing quality over price. This is not something I'm used to from GM. In fact, not too long ago, there were commercials on television selling GM cars at one dollar over invoice. Quality wasn't an issue then. It was all about price.
But...
#1 In Sales Means Nothing
The sign in the front window of my local UPS Store reads. "#2 Store in Canada." I laugh every time I see it. It's too rare that you see a sign reading "#2" in anything. I get it though. Wayne and the staff at my UPS Store do a great job and give great service. They're always busy. Apparently they're busy enough to be #2 in Canada in volume. And if next year they're #3, I'm sure that's what the sign will read.
But what about this #1 Salesman stuff or Salesman of the Year? Does it matter? What...
Hard Truth About Soft-Skills
There are 350,000 opinions (books) on "leadership" on Amazon. Corporate America can't seem to draw a consensus on what leadership is so it's really no big surprise that Corporate America can't figure out what soft-skills are and why they are important either. You know, for being such a dominating force in the world of business, we really don't have a clue about the stuff that REALLY makes business run. You know, the people part of it?
If you think communication and presentation, leadership...
Why Teamwork Is A Bad Idea
Before you think teamwork is the answer and spend large sums of money on "team-building" exercises, maybe you should consider whether your place of business needs teams at all. Perhaps more would get done by leaving your people alone to do what they already excel at. Forcing people to join teams simply for the sake of "inclusion" is a bad idea.
The 20-60-20 rule applies to all organizations, companies, committees and teams. The top twenty percent of the members will be go-getters - those who...
The iPod and the Downfall of Social Interation
How many times have you placed a call to a client, a business or a colleague or friend only to reach voice mail? Then within two or three minutes of leaving your message they call you right back. Sometimes theyre honest about it and sometimes they lie but theyve really been using voice mail to screen their calls.
This is just one of a long list of items of what is wrong with Corporate America. We dont allow people talk to us anymore. If we can get past that confounded voice mail tree, (If...
Instant Leader Overnight
The Global Leadership Forecast 2008/09 researched 12,208 business executives and 1493 Human Resource professionals across 76 countries. Seventy-five percent of executives surveyed identified improving their leadership talent as their #1 priority for organizational success. But the vast majority of those same respondents have no idea of exactly what leadership is.
It is astounding that so many people, when asked to define leadership, can have so many varying answers. In fact, there are 350,000...
Leadership and Management Are Opposites
Log into any business networking site, like LinkedIn or Ryze, and almost daily will you see someone asking a question attempting to determine the difference between Leadership and Management. What are really interesting are the people who are asking: people in management or leadership positions. Now one can only postulate why these "leaders" and "managers" are attempting to have others extol the virtues of their positions: because they either don't know the difference themselves or they are...
Good Business Attitudes Come From Consequences
Consequences are the guideposts of your moral compass. If there were no consequences, people would run roughshod over each other. Items in your garage would be stolen by your neighbors. Police forces would become irrelevant. You would leave the doors unlocked because, what's the point? Business would hire Grade 6 dropouts into senior management positions. You get the idea. Anarchy.
So what happens when you take an individual who has been raised in a virtually consequence-free environment and...
