- Grow Your Sales By Thinking Like A Farmer
By: George Ludwig | - If you are a farmer and you want a good crop in August, what must you do? One thing I learned growing up in Indiana was that farmers plan ahead: soil improvement, tilling, and seeding are all done in the spring. The farmer does the bulk of the work on the front end. He manages, nurtures, and tends on the front end and then waits for everything to grow to harvest.
For salespeople, the sales cycle is the growing season. If the salesperson can plant enough seeds, nurture and tend tho ...

- How Can You Recession-proof Your Business?
By: Kate Mercer | - How are you feeling about the downturn? Governments may not yet officially have declared a recession, but the media and millions of ordinary people have. A knee jerk response for many businesses is to 'batten down the hatches', cut budgets and let people go.

- Leading With Integrity
By: Mark Shead | - Leadership is often defined as getting other people to do what you want. Using this definition it is no wonder that many people revert to using underhanded tactics to try to "trick" their followers into doing what they want. This is a shortcut to leadership and doesn't result in long term value.
It is this type of "leadership by trickery" that makes people automatically suspicious of their leaders. If you want to develop a long term foundation for leadership, these types of sho ...

- Management Vs. Leadership
By: John Dueme | - Management skills are a necessary subset of the skills of a leader. Some people claim to be leaders, but not managers. Usually they consider themselves a visionary. If you look up visionary in the dictionary you'll find:
visionary noun. One whose ideas or projects are impractical.

- Leadership - The Power Of A Clear Vision
By: John Dueme | - Many inexperienced leaders fail to sufficiently convey a vision to the subordinates they lead. If you are not skilled in telling everyone which direction to head you'll have confusion. Worse yet, you'll have a situation where people start creating their own direction. For some leaders their deficiency comes not from a lack of communication but from not having a vision themselves.
It is much easier to lead if you have a clear idea of what you want to achieve and your ideas are good ...

- Leadership - Successful People Are Not Necessarily Good Leaders
By: John Dueme | - Many people assume that if someone is successful it is because they have good leadership skills. Some people assume that if a business is successful it is because it has good leaders. Leadership isn't something that is particularly easy to pass on to other people. Sometimes a company is successful because a past leader was very skilled as a leader and the current leader simply has kept things running the same as before.

- Leadership - The Proper Relationship With Subordinates
By: John Dueme | - In the army, the men are kept separated from those known as the officers. This comes from the idea that the leaders should not be too close to the individuals they command. In the military this makes a lot of logical sense because if you are too close, you might have a difficult time making decisions that could result in harm to someone. On the army base they have an officers club, where the officers eat and socialize. On Sundays the facility is available to everyone, but there is a separate ...

- What The Nhl Playoffs Can Teach You About Business
By: Liane Bate | - The NHL playoffs are just getting underway, and the excitement is mounting in both players and fans alike. For some business owners, this may be the only distraction they will allow. I, for one, have been tuning into each home team game, feeling more and more pressed for business time - I wonder why!

- Tracking For Profits
By: Paul Lemberg | - If you can't track it, don't do it.
Every high-performance venture needs a tracking system. A tracking system with well-designed metrics lets everyone know how well they are doing relative to their commitments. It is a guide to whether additional or extraordinary actions need to be taken.
It is one of the first things I set up with my business coaching clients because without a clear set of objective metrics it is hard for people to be clear about their results.
