How to Put an End to Meaningless Meetings: an Operational Process

How to Put an End to Meaningless Meetings: an Operational Process

Every human activity aimed at producing a result, whether it’s a product or a service requires collaboration. And collaboration and cooperation are increasingly stressed in the workplace today. It’s not just a feel good thing, it actually makes evolutionary sense. The success of our species depends on it. The problem is, organizations can create situations […]

How to Prevent Chaos in Any Project or Initiative

How to Lead Change Management – A Systemic Approach

How to Lead Change Management – A Systemic Approach

Don’t Be Misunderstood! 5 Steps to Giving Clear Instructions

Don’t Be  Misunderstood! 5 Steps to Giving Clear Instructions

You need people to do things and to do them in a certain way, but so often they just don’t get it. To paraphrase Nina Simone, the Animals, Elvis Costello and many others, you’re intentions may be good and you don’t want to be misunderstood. So how do you get people to do things? By telling […]

Come together, right now! Technology for Collaboration

Come together, right now! Technology for Collaboration

New technological platforms are emerging almost daily to allow people to come together and collaborate. This should be good news because every human activity aimed at producing a result requires collaboration.

The Risk of Not Working to a Goal Plan? Just Filling Your Time

The Risk of Not Working to a Goal Plan? Just Filling Your Time

No matter how busy we may be doing stuff during the day, that “busyness” is not necessarily a measure of progress. In fact, if we haven’t established a goal plan for our work for the year, quarter, month or day, then we really don’t know what we’re doing or why. Unless, of course, our goal […]
