1998 and 1999 Economics and Illegal Immigration
Currently in United States of America we are worried about high oil prices, Middle Eastern politics, our national debt and illegal immigration; so what else is new? You know I always find interesting is that the United States of America's government keeps doing the same things and keeps getting the same results.Each time the FED, the United States Congress or even the president of the United States changes one or more lever in an attempt to change a situation in the economy; what happens?The same thing that has always happened; Now then, let's do a flash back to the past and let's take it back about seven years shall we? Below is an excerpt from a speech I gave to an economics class at a community college in 1999. Now mind you this is only one minute of the thirty-minute speech, however it is i
As a CEO I struggled long and hard over any decision to use a consultant. There are many issues that need to be managed by the client to keep a consultant from going overboard on time and costs.
Too many need too long to get up to speed on your business (on your dime), cost too much and can not provide tangible results on a limited project basis. Too many are unproductive and do things in ten hours that I know I could have done in 2-3 hours as paying by the hour is often a de-motivator while paying by the task aligns the client's and consultant's interests more.Currently in United States of America we are worried about high oil prices, Middle Eastern politics, our national debt and illegal immigration; so what else is new?

Charisma in the Workplace
Television producer Mark Goodson invariably responded to the question, “How do you select people to appear as contestants on your shows?” with the same answer: “We look for three things. Personality, personality and personality.” Mr. Goodson’s response applies not only to the selection of people to appear on TV reality and game shows, but to applicants for high-level management jobs.When jobs of high caliber, such as COO, CEO and President, are vacated, there are many qualities to be considered in an applicant, qualities such as capability, experience, and education. But the quality that is most likely to facilitate acquiring such lucrative positions, and there’s no doubt about it among the experts, is that part of some personalities called charisma.Not everyone has charisma, the quality that gi

Lanyards - Then and Now
Most adults remember making lanyards at camp or in after-school youth programs. Some of them get a kick out of the thought that they’ve never really outgrown them, because so many people wear a lanyard as part of their work attire. Of course, these lanyards are completely different than the lanyards of our youth. In today’s business parlance, a lanyard is a strap you wear around your neck to keep your company identification visible and handy at all times. For many people, grabbing their lanyard as they walk out the door at home is as much second nature as grabbing their car keys.Badge lanyards are also popular at conventions. Lanyards replace those pin-on name tags that people hate to wear, and provide the extra benefits. It’s easy for a businessman to slip a supply of business cards in the lanyar

Subliminal Advertising: Does It Exist?
As author of a book defending advertising against its many social and economic critics,* here is the one question I am most frequently asked: “What about subliminal advertising?,” to which I typically respond: “What about it? It doesn’t exist!”That’s the short answer. Some elaboration is required.The term “subliminal” means beneath the threshold of perception. Many things are subliminal, such as the circulation of our blood, which we normally do not feel, experience, or perceive moving throughout our bodies. And it is possible to have our skin touched in such a way that we do not notice the touch. Subliminal advertising, however, is supposedly the power to motivate action based on something that no one can perceive, such as a message flashed on a movie or television screen at 1/3000th of a second

All that said, I currently make my living as a consultant and do believe there is a better way. The old saying that a consultant is someone who you pay to learn your business who then goes down the street to sell that expertise to someone else next week can be true if you let it happen that way. But it does not have to be that way if you use consultants appropriately and as a collaborator.
It is also important to understand that a consultant's value added is often what the client does not understand. For whatever reason you may be too close, too entrenched in th
