‘Greed Is Good’ – Remuneration, Motivation And Organisation
By :
Jonathan Palmer
The 1980's business culture in the USA and internationally put a considerable emphasis on personal reward on the basis that highly motivated individuals could transform organisations and societies. The extreme example in film was Gordon Gekko in Wall Street stating that greed was good. The 90's, however, have seen companies traumatised and bankrupted by the inappropriate use of remuneration as a motivator. Yet major corporate successes have been built on reward based remunera...
Your Proposal Didn't Win? Make Sure You Get Something From Losing
By :
James England
No matter how successful you are, eventually you will lose potential contracts. This is not always a bad thing - losing contracts can present you with opportunities to get closer to the client and get valuable feedback. It allows you to analyze what you did wrong, what was done right, and how you can improve your products, services…and proposals.
If you do lose a contract you should always ask for feedback and find out why you lost. Client’s are often happy to provide feed...

Your First Quarter Review – Are You Awesome Or Average?
By :
Michael Clark
One fourth of the year is over. How are you doing in meeting your goals? How are you doing compared to your budget? In my last article, I talked about how business systems aren’t just for big business. Guess what? Neither are goals and budgets.
Big businesses put tremendous effort into creating detailed budgets and detailed goals each year and checking their progress against them monthly and quarterly. Investors eagerly await the announcement of quarterly earnings and stoc...
Your Degree In Recognition Skills
By :
Chris Herrmann
Of course, we all majored in recognition skills at high school. Being positive comes as second nature to everybody and we never focus too much on faults. Unfortunately there the fairy tale must end. Complaining, it seems, is a much more developed skill than praising and many people find it difficult to be only positive. It is as if they can't help themselves adding a crushing blow. Like Carolyn Burnham (Annette Bening) in "American Beauty" when she praises her daughter Jane (...
You Have Always A Choice
By :
Rene Graeber
People often say they have no choice when faced with a dead end. They say they have no choice but to take the one direction available, which is often a wrong one.
When they say that remark, they must understand that they have to take the blame for the consequences of what they will do.
However, truth is far from the often-circulated concept that man has no choice.
We do have choices. As long as you have rights to protect, you have a choice. When rights are denied,...
You Are A Shining Star!
By :
Joseph Plazo
You can ask some people the direct question, “What makes someone credible?” With others, you may have to be somewhat indirect. Ask, “Who do you think is really reliable and can be believed? Why?” You may have to be even more indirect with some people. Ask, “Who do think is a great leader? Why?” The responses you get to these questions indicate each person’s key credibility markers.
Once you know the important markers, assess yourself. How well do you measure up to the sta...
You And Daniel Webster
By :
Glenn W. Turner
Daniel Webster was one of the greatest orators of all time. They say he even out talked the Devil to save a man's soul. What he said wasn't as important as the way he said It. But one sentence from his speeches sticks in my mind. "Let us," said Daniel Webster, "in this our day and generation perform something worthy to be remembered."
How many of us are living up to this challenge? Most of us spend our time like sleepwalkers - the blind leading the blind. We're afraid to s...
Writing Your Own Powerful Affirmations
By :
Wendy Betterini
A common question I see from people just beginning their personal development journey is, "How do I write effective affirmations?" Often they will go in search of existing affirmations that they can apply to their own situation, but they may or may not find something that works for them.
In my experience, it is much simpler to come up with our own personal affirmations because they'll get right to the heart of the matter like nothing else can!
First, let's explore th...
WithInAsThru Your Choice to Create Consciously
By :
Scott Kiere
Life is not a process of discovery, but a process of creation and pure choice. All that you perceive in your world is the outcome of your idea about it. You are always fully engaged in this process, whether you are aware of it or not.
WithInAsThru Awareness
By :
Scott Kiere
Have you every truly thought about what it means to be aware? Aware in the highest sense of the word, seeing with scope and detachment all possibilities, all factors?
Wish Upon A Shooting Star
By :
Kirstine Pallette
I have always been a dreamer. Even when I was a little kid my thoughts were always full of how my life could be different or of how the world could become a better place. Sometimes, after my mom had tucked me into bed with an instruction to stay in my bed no matter what, I'd sneak over to the large window in my bedroom and stare outside into space. I would find an area of the sky that was filled with the most stars and I would wait. I would whisper a wish (because wishes alwa...
Why You Should Laugh More
By :
Deanna Mascle -
I have long been a fan of the Reader's Digest "Laughter, the Best Medicine" column and often suspected that laughter was good for me. After all, I was raised on the mantra "the family that laughs together, stays together" and my family possesses a long list of "in" jokes that require nothing more than a catch phrase to crack up the whole clan.
However, now my suspicion that laughter is good for me can actually be backed up by scientific evidence.
Humor can improve memor...
Why The Laws Of Persuasion Work
By :
Kurt Mortensen
As the species whose thinking ability supposedly separates us from the animals, we really don't spend much of our life reasoning. Most of the time our minds get stuck on cruise control. Thinking takes up too much time and requires too much energy. Imagine having to think about every decision we make. It wouldn't leave us much time to accomplish anything else, would it? Most of us have a systematic way of looking at the world. When this mode is operating, our minds are perfect...
