Five Ways to Influence Change in Others
Because of my work as a consultant, trainer and coach I deal with change and people’s reactions to it all the time. When a Client decides to work with us, they are recognizing that some sort of change is needed. After all, if they want more effective teams, better Customer Service, higher creativity, more effective training, or more effective leadership in their organizations, something has to become different than it is currently. Change must occur.Because of this, change is often at the center of our work, and we’ve learned a fair bit about it. In short, here are two of the most important things I have learned about change:• People don’t resist change, they resist being changed.• Regardless of our position, we become significantly more effective when we understand change and how to influence it in others.Most people nod their head at the first one when I mention it,

What To Do When A Co-Worker Turns Nasty
A friend of mine laments that work would be great if only there were no other people there! No matter where we work, we will work with others. Often, those relationships are cordial if not friendly, but there can be challenges. You will not love all of your co-workers, and some will be downright nasty.Bullying doesn't just happen in schools. More frequent incidents of co-workers who bully others are being reported. When co-workers turn nasty it can make for an uncomfortable, if not dangerous, working environment; but there are ways to handle the situation so that it doesn't get out of hand.Set clear boundaries. If you don't set limits and let the co-worker know that their behavior is unacceptable, you can bet it will continue.

Dare to Be Unique
After an outstanding year working on the personal staff of a member of Congress, I was asked to lead a organization that did not previously exist. Everything pertaining to the organization was on paper and I found myself in the middle of change management.Many are called but few are chosen to lead. After returning to the Pentagon after a fellowship on Capitol Hill I was asked to head up a policy organization. For those of you who do not understand, policy is synonymous with organizational doctrine.In other words, if the leader has to make a call on a important issue that impacts over half a million people, your policy office must lead the information charge. They must provide concise regulations, review organizational policies, and have the ability to interpret and unravel hot button legislative issues.How did I respond to this important undertaking? The first thing I did was hi

Is IP The Most Cost Effective Choice For Your Business Communication Applications?
Too often a business assumes that IP based solutions are the best choice to satisfy their communication requirements. Particulalrly with convergence issues. But....don't get caught making a hasty decision. There are viable options...and factors to consider before making a final choice.One of the problems with convergence is protocol, starting with IP.While we tend to think in terms of Internet and IP, there are alternatives. Dedicated circuits come to mind, followed by frame relay. One option that hasn't gotten much exposure but may offer some real advantages is gigabit Ethernet via fiber optics. The fiber overcomes the distance limitations associated with Ethernet. Ethernet allows for layer 2 switching versus IP based routing. From a private network perspective, this may be an ideal way of lowering overheads and improving latency and jitter issues.The same applies to other t
