Management Quote of the Week

"Managers must manage" Hal Geneen
This is a simple quote that says a lot. It doesn't matter what the economy, the market or the competition throws at us we must accomplish our goals. We must mange to hit our goals in any situation. This is taken from Geneen's great book Managing.

Words for Leaders

"Catch people doing something right"

This phrase, made popular by management guru Tom Peters, describes the attitude of a good leader. If you only notice your people when they are doing something wrong, after a while they will tune you out. You will be pegged as a constant complainer. You should always strive for a 3:1 ratio, making 3 positive comments for each negative one. In practice I far exceed this count. If people hear good things from you, they will pay close attention to your words.

Make A Difference
