- Let's Take A Look At The N Model Railroad Scale
By: Clint Spille | - Many people think that the N model railroad scale is smaller than they can deal with. N is a small train, only 1:160 the size of a life size engine, and half as small as the more popular HO scale.
It's true that this size shouldn't be used by children under 5 at any time, and from 5-12, under adult supervision. It is a harder unit to deal with for people with large hands, poor eyesight, and arthritis, but other than that, anyone else can easily handle this scale.

By: Nathanson | - Crisis in management education
There is no consistency today in the way we educate managers. Larger organizations tend to have more comprehensive programs. If we look at the business results of the past year it will show that these programs have not been very successful. In the US over 99.9% of all organizations have less than 500 workers. Many of these organizations have little to non-existent management education. There is a great opportunity now to improve. Most of the big compan ...

- Negligence In Employment In Canada
By: Kevin JSmith | - Negligence in employment covers several actions in tort law, mainly when an employer is responsible for the accident (or other tortuous act) caused by the employee. The employer in this case is negligent in providing the employee with the ability to create this situation. A person who is claiming negligence must prove that the defendant owed them a duty of care, that this duty was breached and that the claimant was injured as a result of the duty breach.

Compared to supervision, mentoring is a two-way power free, equally advantageous learning situation wherein mentors share knowledge, provide advice, and demonstrate how to use a low-pressure approach.

- Leadership: Motivation Magic
By: Wally Bock | - Motivation sometimes seems a lot like magic. Some people can do it. Other people can't. Your boss tells you that you need to "motivate your people," but doesn't tell you how.
The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines "motivate" as "to give someone a motive." It goes on to define "motive" as something that causes a person to act. In business you're told to "motivate" the people who work for you. In police work, we're told, you solve a crime by figuring out the motive.

All these people work for big companies with well-known CEOs. The business press trumpets the importance of CEOs and their innovative strategies. They rarely talk about the managers, first-line supervisors and sales managers down in the trenches.

- How Do I Delegate Better?
By: Wally Bock | - Lots of bosses are good at dumping, but not at delegating. They're great at off-loading the things they don't like to do and dropping assignments on their subordinates with little or no guidance.
Other bosses think that delegating is always the best way to assign work. That's not right either. When you've got a competent and willing worker, delegation is the right way to go, but it's not a good choice for workers who aren't as competent or committed.

- A Secret No One Tells New Managers
By: Wally Bock | - The Merriam-Webster dictionary lists two meanings for "confrontation." There are "a face-to-face meeting" and "the clashing of forces or ideas." Both are part of being a boss, but hardly anyone tells that to a new manager in advance.
You could say that managing others is the art of "controlled confrontation." Doing it well is essential to succeeding as a boss.
Part of your job as a manager is accomplishing the mission assigned to your team. Sometimes that means aski ...

Human beings, managers and otherwise, simply don't like confrontation and all the things that go with firing involve confrontation. In fact, managing people is really the art of controlled confrontation. For that you need training in how to talk to people who work for you about their performance

For years, soft-headed types have looked at highly productive work groups and noticed something. Workers in the top performing groups also had higher morale than workers in other groups.

By: The Master Blog Builder | - Human behavior, whether that of a child or a grown employee, always stems from a goal or purpose. Starting as a thought, the behavior is further enforced by triggers of the emotions and senses. This behavior, when it is "good", gets us rewards and recognition, while on the other hand, negative, or "bad", behavior creates a strain on a relationship, sometimes fatally.
If you were to look at it closely, the misconduct of some employees closely resembles that of a child's misbehavior ...
