Adopt the 'T' Method to Sales Performance Improvement
What’s your approach to sales training? Do you have a process that defines which sales performance competency to train to and what impact it will have on selected performance silos if the training objective is successfully met?

Protect Your Documents With The Right Office Furniture
Many executives have documents that are of a sensitive nature and should be keep somewhere secure. Depending on what type of office you have your needs for a safe will change. If you have an office that you are planning on being in for a long time you can have a wall safe installed. You should have a contractor come out to your office and install the safe. They will be able to secure it the studs so that it can't be forced out of the wall. If you are looking at a more temporary office solution you should explore the options of having a standing safe brought in. There are several different types including electronic keypad, dial and key locks. It is important for you to examine how much material you have to store and what risks you are facing.<

We trained hard...but every time we formed up teams we would be reorganized. I was to learn that we meet any new situation by reorganizing. And a wonderful method it can be for creating the illusion of progress while producing confusion, inefficiency and demoralization. - Petronius Arbiter, 210 BC

Although the frontier in business excellence begins with personal disciplines, and the systems that support them, it must eventually move to the issues of how to get things done in concert with others. It is in the hands of another that your "way" is put to the ultimate test.

You've probably been down the road of teams and team issues before in your line of work. If not professionally, my guess is that at sometime you were on a softball team, football team, chess team, or debate team. Some type of team has probably been in everyone's experience. Leadership, communication, managing expectations, and plan execution are all aspects of high performance teams on which you'll find a plethora of articles, books, and seminars.

As in all things, though, Jesus is our primary example.

But Jesus answered them, "My Father has been working until now, and I have been working." Therefore the Jews sought all the more to kill Him, because He not only broke the Sabbath, but also said that God was His Father, making Him equal with God. Then Jesus answered and said to them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner. For the Father loves the Son, and shows Him all things that He Himself does; and He will show Him greater works than these, that you may marvel" (John 5:17-20).

For those who want to run their business (and lives) God's way, these verses are critical.

Jesus, the Father and the Holy Spirit are the epitome of a high performance team. Better than any Super Bowl team, any Fortune 500 management team, any World Series team, any Navy SEAL team, or any other configuration one can imagine, only in the Trinity do we get to see and relate to the ways in which God prescribes a team should function.

Controlling Your Body Language During an Interview
Controlling body language in an interview can enhance a person’s chances of a successful hire. Non-verbal signals are a part of every day life and we all subconsciously interpret these signals. Many individuals can identify the emotions and attitudes attached to the slouching teenager, the happy or sad person, or the introvert or extravert. A slouch, smile, frown or hand movements can make the difference in how a person is perceived. How people can use body language to gain an advantage during an interview?Walk with ConfidenceFashion models often seem confident. They even seem confident in their underwear! These models train to project confidence and youth through their body language. Presenting yourself in a confident manor

Starting a New Business? Plan Accordingly
Last year, I was approached by a small group of people who had recently quit their jobs at a company that manufactured commercial food processing equipment. They became disillusioned with their employer due to lack of efficiency in production, marketing, and a general atmosphere of disorganization. The leader of the group felt they could "build a better mousetrap" if they went out on their own. Each member of the group was adept in the operational side of the business. They enjoyed good relationships with the company's customers, who were also frustrated by missed deadlines, broken promises, and even incomplete orders. The group leader covertly talked to some of these customers (medium to large sized food manufacturers) about buying fro

Cost Reduction - Get Extra 10-20% Profit
1. Elimination of waste.The single most important factor contributing to costs is wastage. Eliminating waste can by itself cut costs from 10 to 20%. The main areas of waste are:(a) Input Waste: Substandard quality rawmaterials and other inputs while appearing cheaper work out to be very costly in the long run. They affect the end-product's quality directly. Indirectly they cause frequent damages to men and machinery and add to maintenance costs. Frequent purchase returns, consequent alternate sourcing, resulting delay in production, involve additional costs. A system to screen all inputs for quality compliance is a must in addition to a good quality policy with reference to all inputs.(b) Process W

op teams God's way, here are three basics that can help:

1. Clearly stated, measurable objectives

The first place to look if things aren't going so well with your team is at its purpose. Ask the individuals on the team in question to write down their answers to the following question: What is the purpose of our team? Without discussion, go around the room and have them read their answers. Often the team's mission changes and modifies while in progress and without everyone being informed. Adaptability is key to surviving the changes that always come. However, most teams don't deal well with change because they never started off with a mutual understanding of where the "end zone" was and how they'd know if they got there. Objectives have to be clear, written and measurable and regularly reviewed by all involved.

2. Clear team roles

In an age of management systems that put high emphasis on equality, it may be easy to overlook the fact that not all hierarchy is bad. In fact, historically, properly placed levels of expertise and responsibility have allowed for some of the greatest periods of progress and efficiency. Teams are simply small businesses. They need clarity about who's in charge, how to resolve conflict and to whom to look when assumptions prove inaccurate. As Dennis Peacocke says about the need for leadership and authority, "Anything without a head is dead. And anything with more than one head is a freak!" In the Trinity, it is clear that the Father is in charge. Note that each position of the Trinity is mutually exclusive while being simultaneously totally integrated. Here is our model! Because of fear, we tend to default to one of the extremes. One extreme is when we throw off "titles" and expect everyone to just intuitively do everything...hiding behind organizational indefinites. The sports analogy for this would be a phenomenon in little league soccer called "swarm ball." Swarm ball is when no matter where your position is, you just can't resist the urge to gravitate to the ball. It may be humorous for the eight year olds, but for us, it's just sin. The other extreme is when we hasten to the letter of the job-description law selfishly touting phrases like, "that's not my responsibility." Both are obviously disastrous. Can you see this is just the story of the prodigal son and his slavish brother all over again? Solid team roles include clear, actionable tasks as well as cultivated heart attitudes that keep "sons" from acting like "slaves."

3. Commissioning

Ad hoc teams can be a great source of spontaneous energy and effort. But when push comes to shove and shove lasts a long time (see current economic environment), most employees tend

Six Sigma in the software industry goals: Six Sigma in manufacturing is completely understandable. For the same logic to apply to software products, it still has a long way to go to establish itself. However, for the moment it is safe to assume that there exist factors within the software industry that contribute to the shift that we discussed above. This also makes way for examples such as constant changing tools like ...
