Will You Add? - Help for the Meeting-Weary Manager
Last week, a client chose to focus our coaching session on his Business Plan. He had read that 80% of businesses that fail have no plan, whereas 90% of those that grow have a plan that they review and update at least once a year.Although he had good headings, my client was struggling to write the narrative and fill in the numbers. He also worried about maintaining a 20-page document until I suggest

As part of my continuing series on Value and Pricing, the following article shows you how to position your company's value contribution to support the highest value-for-value exchange. Too many business owners, when asked about the value or ROI of their product or service, shrug their shoulders and say, "I can't really put a value on it." If you can't put a value on it, think how hard it
The difficulty with most meetings is that they are typically planned and run by extroverts, who do not take into account the needs of the introverts. Why is this important? Because a key diffentiating characteristic between extroverts and introverts is in the way they process information.
Extroverts will tend to "think out loud." They verbally walk themselves through the thinking process. Introverts however want to process new information on their own, in their heads, before commenting or vocalizing their thoughts.
And that's just the beginning of the problem. Extroverts do not take into account the needs of the Introverts or the way in which they prefer to process the information to be shared or discussed. Because Introverts require time on their own to process information, they are not prepared (or willing) to make decisions on items that are only being discussed fo the first time in a current meeting. All too often Extroverts bring a new topic up in a meeting, even if it's not on the agenda, and expect everyone to get engaged and act on it right away. Because the Introverts are processing the new information, they may not comment. To the Extrovert, no news is good news and this only means the Introverts must be on board.

Your value proposition is a series of statements defining your worth. It is the value you bring to the table – the skills, strengths, core competencies, marketable assets and accomplishments you can declare as your own. Your value proposition describes your uniqueness - your unique gifts. It is what differentiates you from the crowd.Think about some of the statements you can make about yourself that reflect t

It is essential for any enterprise to be sufficiently staffed. An organized and methodical approach must be adopted to make certain that the right people are selected. This is referred to as recruiting, and it requires a lot of time and careful attention to locate individuals who have a strong work ethic and are right for the vacancy. The recruiting procedure is not simple and involves a number of obstacles created by

If you are a franchisor you want your most successful franchisees to operate more outlets. In other words you want them to buy more franchises and you are probably even willing to give them a discount because there will be no training involved since they already own one or more units.It is a well-known fact in business that it is much easier to sell something to a current customer than to try to go market, adve
Decision-making bias is highlighted when the meeting is controlled by the Extrovert. Extroverts view the quieter more contemplative members as:
"I just assumed that they weren't interested."
"I thought they had nothing to share or say.
"I figured they were a bit stuck up, stand-offish."
But let's not blame the Extroverts for all our meeting problems. Because Introverts prefer to process new information before speaking, they may plan the agenda and arrive at meetings thinking their decisions are foregone conclusions without ever engaging others for input or discussion. In fact, if the normally self-sufficient and reserved Introvert had his way, all meetings would occur by telephone or web conferencing or even email. The electronic meeting minimize the extra-curricular comments and diversions that occur when you put a bunch of Extroverts in a room. But like the Introvert who needs time to process, Extroverts need the opportunity to talk out loud and see who is doing the talking.
Now let's take a peek inside the Introverts' heads. What are they thinking about their group-oriented, outgoing Extroverted colleagues?
"They're all blow-hards."
"Not one of them has a clear thought in their heads."
"They don't know what they're talking about."
You can see how valuable insights might be ignored or interpersonal conflicts arise when personality and behavioral styles aren't considered
