Will You Add? - Deadlines Matter, But Only If You Enforce Them
Interviewing Tips for the Older Job-seeking PopulationA red alert is probably melodramatic, but I’m sure jobseekers in this age bracket probably feel there is one. The bulk of the job-seeking population is currently facing job-search woes that the elderly population has been experiencing for years.In recent years, I’ve seen that over-50 jobseekers have wised up to the fact that age bias is still existent in America’s workforce. Armed with this information, these jobseekers are redesigning their r?sum?s so that obvious red flags are no longer present. Employers are finding it more diffi

• A managerial tool to establish a date for something to be completed – no excuses.
• A target time frame to keep everyone focused on an accomplishment.

Like it or not, the reality of running a business in today's world is that you will always have some people leaving to take up other job opportunities - no matter how great your staff retention strategies.But the way you handle a resignation can have a direct impact on how much staff turnover you experience thereafter. Handled the right way, a resignation is in fact a golden opportunity for you to actually reduce staff turnover. In the same way you that can profit from a customer complaint by handling it well, you can profit from a staff resignation by fo
We take for granted that some suppliers we count on always make their deadlines, so why are we not as expectant for our business deadlines to be met?
Routinely when working with executives reviewing strategic planning objectives, goals and targets, I hear “We’ve not got to that yet.” Over and over. Excuses often follow, and the justifications invariably are tossed around.
What happened to commitment? What happened to a deadline being a deadline? If leaders are quick to dismiss deadlines and not consider them a true end point, how will anyone else in the organization take targets seriously?
Deadlines are a managerial tool that when enforced requires people to take action or deal with the consequences. One of the reasons businesses get their butts kicked is because the front office has become slack in their drive for making things happen in a timely manner.
This year for the first time in my life my tax information didn’t get in on time. My accountant called to tell me he was filing for an extension, followed by lame excuses. Did he check with me first to see how I felt about this? No. Will he be my accountant after this? Not on your life. Slack attitudes toward deadlines means slack attitudes are acceptable in everything else. I have no room for those people on my team.

Almost undetected and very silently, a transformation in business is taking place with the potential to become as big as did the transition into the information age, about a decade ago. We are still at the very beginning of what will profoundly change the way business is done in America and the World. Spirituality in Business is going to be the new paradigm and the impact on society at large will be felt anywhere. Those who already recognized the need for this dramatic shift and are taking action upon it are rewarded with benefits beyond measure. This Transition should not be underestimated; it is the

The principal sources of venture capital funds for a business firm are equity capital, preference capital, debenture capital and term loans. Equity capital represents ownership capital because equity shareholders collectively own the company. They enjoy the rewards, as well as bear the risks of ownership. However, their liability, unlike the liability of the owner in a proprietary firm and the partners in a partnership concern, is limited to their capital contributions. As equity capital funds represent permanent capital, there is no liability for repayment. It enhances the creditworthiness of the comp

Deadlines are:
• A managerial tool to establish a date for something to be completed – no excuses.
• A target time frame to keep everyone focused on an accomplishment.
• An opportunity to separate the meaningful commitments from the hollow promises.
• A way to keep people challenged and moving forward.
• A method of keeping things from dragging on endlessly.
• A way to establish yourself as a leader who plays to win.
How do you know your deadline is realistic?
Deadlines can often be set arbitrarily with a randomly selected date or with a focus of “I have to have it now” because an emergency is driving the deadline. (Said emergency is often caused by something else left undone or not on time.) Deadlines should be set with an expectation of being met. Based either on past history, or a clear understanding of exactly what is required to be accomplished, deadlines should have some input from those expected to execute it.
A marketing firm has a distinctive competence of magical deadlines. They can brainstorm with a company all day long and by morning have full prototype printed and ready for review by breakfast the next day. How do they do this? The team responsible for making this happen understands their hours are more night shift than day shift. They also understand that by meeting such aggressive deadlines they get to work with a company that creates buzz and can charge a premium and pay premium. It’s the understanding of what can be done.
Sometimes you have to make midcourse adjustments to your deadline. The key with such adjustments is the “why” the adjustment is being made? Did you set an unrealistic deadline? Was there a factor
