7 Training Tips from Laura Stack

Laura Stack stopped by the blog today to share her "7 Tips for Training Small Business Employees without Blowing the Budget".

Are You Asking Enough of Your Managers?

Are you frustrated with your managers, supervisors, or project managers? Do they blame others when budgets are blown and deadlines are missed? Do they point fingers when their teams are deadlocked over problems?

What’s Your Job?

I had the opportunity to see one of my clients make the leap from being a manager to being a leader a few days ago.

Directors Direct. Managers Do.

Recently a colleague asked me for advice to help him with one of his clients. My colleague's been working with this particular client for several years, but it's getting to a point of frustration where my colleague's ready to walk away.

Accountability Allows Leadership

A senior manager recently asked what the difference was between a manager and a leader. I told her: "A manager is responsible for taking care of the here and now. A manager ensures the resources are used efficiently, and plans for maximum utilization of staff, equipment, materials, and capital. A manager knows how to multi-task and deal with ever-shifting priorities.

Grow Your Business Through Your Employees Not Your Customers

You've cut prices, you've refined your target customer base, you've increased your advertising and still --- business is so slow it's dangerous. The economy is not good, but other companies seem to be selling similar products and services.

Just One Thing

Being a manager or leader is a 24/7 proposition. There's very little if any down time. Yet to be an effective manager and leader, you need to be on the look-out constantly for opportunities to improve and enhance your own performance and that of your team. How is any mere mortal supposed to do all of this?

So You Say You Coach Your Employees

Sound familiar? "Oh yes. Our employees are our most valuable asset."

Plot Your Succession Plan

I was recently asked by an executive team, "How do we start pulling a Succession Plan together? We believe we have many of the pieces already, but we don't know what to do with them."

Who Is The Project Manager?

A brilliant and gutsy move for leaders is to continually develop his or her managers' project management skills. When this happens, the leader is ensuring the organization's future.
