Wow!

You know you spam me - but you really want me to do your job?

That’s like those companies sending you a message saying that you called. Actually, you you never did - yet they still insist someone from your company…

Would you buy from them?

Thought of the day

“There is at least one point in the history of any company when you have to change dramatically to rise to the next level of performance. Miss that moment, and you start to decline.”

Being on time more important then knowledge?

© Copyright Frank D. Kanu 2000-2008

A poll of more then 900 German companies revealed that German managers prefer being on time over knowledge.

Have the skilled workers pushed it too far by using their skills as an excuse for bad behavior?

Or is this just a dangerous trend to reward the wrong talents?

how many?

How many interviews would you consider too many?

A friend of mine had his first interview and thought it went well. Got a phone call a few days later to meet with the team.

Now that’s a good sign, right? So he goes, thinks once again that he made a good impression and gets another phone call, some ten days later. Another interview to meet with the team. Still ok, since not all managers where there at the second interview.

But one starts to wonder… Once again he hit the traffic for the two hour one way commute, is rather happy with how things go - after all finally there was talk about the pay, bonus, etc…

Another weeks goes by. As you guessed - another call for an interview.

Would you go to interview number four?

My friend didn’t.

If you manage a conflict, see it as the opportunity it is - both sides can come out of it as winners. Increasing the depths of relationships, productivities, and enriching your life.

To turn conflicts into a win-win situation you need to:
