Many people who think a lot come up with brilliant ideas and concepts. Sometimes these concepts are nice schemes for a Utopia, which does not exist and perhaps cannot exist until someone gets busy and makes it happen. Often ideas are shot down using this exact argument; that they cannot exist because the World is already the way it is. Other ideas are shot down for fundamental reasons such as who will sign onto the idea? Who will sell it and market it and most of all who will buy it.So then the concept of franchising nations using a winning model makes sense and that is a given, but say critics who will buy it? Are there any prospective bu

Let’s start with what Media Training is not.It’s not spin.Media Training isn’t designed to teach those in the public eye how not to deal with the obvious, avoid blame or dance around difficult truths.What media training DOES do is help level the playing field for those facing the media, either for themselves or on behalf of others. To those outside the process, media training may seem like a way to “manage” the media. In fact, those inside the process know better than to think the media can be managed. The goal of media training is to teach management of your message to the public through the media. Managing the message is n

Nearly all managers inadvertently treat their employees in a manner that leads to less than desirable performance. Several leaders experience difficulty delegating duties. There appears to be the automatic sentiment that the only way to get the job done right is to do it yourself. While accomplishing it yourself may appear to work, it tends to be a breeding ground for ennui, indifference, low motivation, and loss of commitment and zeal. Sharing the work can be a vast motivator, thereby fortifying the organization.The manner by which managers treat their subordinates is mildly influenced by what they anticipate of them. If a manager’s prosp

The problem is not with the theory, it is in the execution!!!. Our culture is so indentured to the traditional model of organization that, despite our best efforts, it is almost impossible to remove the vestiges of managerial control, division of labor, and the reams and reams of policies and procedures that trap employees into doing things one way, and one way only. When well meaning executives, managers, and consultants get a hold of the notion of High Performance Management they often rush to create teams, write new job descriptions, set up feedback systems, and create elaborate reward and recognition programs all in an effort to convince their employees that they are valued and respected and that their contributions are meaningful and appreciated and will be rewarded.
Again, all sound notions but the problem is that these programs address only surface issues and they do not even begin to attack the traditional notions and customs that continue to prevail. Think of organizational dynamics like an iceberg where only 10% of the issues are visible on the surface and the bulk remains hidden and potentially menacing underneath. In truly High Performance workplaces managers do not have to “convince” employees that they are valued, the employees inherently know they are valued simply by the way the work is organized and performed.
So what’s wrong with this picture????
