302. Pitching to Employees
     The senior flight attendant on the WestJet flight was starting the routine safety talk: the bit about flotation vests and emergency exits that we ignore at the beginning of every flight.“If we could have your attention, please, we would appreciate it - in fact we’d be downright shocked,” she said. The passengers and the rest of the crew laughed along with her and then, having captured our attention, she went on with her instructions.That event, on my second flight with the airline, may have been…

304. Motivation - You Get What You Reward By Alan Fairweather
     There's a programme currently running on BBC Television in the UK called - "Little Angels." It's a series that offers help and advice to parents who're experiencing behaviour difficulties with their children. I'm sure there are similar programmes in other parts of the world. The children are often out of control, won't do what they're told and generally dominate the family.Part of the programme shows the parent dealing with the child while receiving instruction from a clinical psychologist thr…



305. Managing with Authority and Democracy By Mark Meshulam
     If you watch closely, you will eventually notice that people who manage the work of others tend to fit into one of two categories: authoritarians or democrats.The authoritarians, as you would expect, manage by telling others what to do. They are not big on eliciting opinions of their subordinates, and not coincidently, their superiors usually treat them in much the same way.They get whipped like dogs, then they turn around and whip their charges like smaller dogs. Information and direction flo…



306. Taking on Six Sigma Programs - Guidelines for In-House and Outsourcing Decisions By Joong Hyun
     Based on a wild guess by a close associate of mine, there are well over 2,000 restaurants in the Manhattan area and its surrounding boroughs. Although I cannot validate the absolute accuracy of his count, I do trust it is in the ballpark, since he happens to be one of those guys who seem to know everything about everything in life (and more). His dream is to be on Jeopardy; if it ever happens, I already feel sorry for the other two contestants, who will undoubtedly be decimated on national TV.…

310. Feedback is a Gift
     Feedback is a gift - when done properly. The very word strikes fear into the hearts of millions of workers every day, because the only time they get feedback is when it is rolled by a manager who wants to criticise - yet put a bit of positive spin on it. Ever been there? I know I have and it sets off that internal groan, because you know just what's coming. Feedback is a gift - remember that at the start of this piece? It can be a gift where used constructively, consistently and with goodwill. I…



311. Negative Self-talk is Too Expensive By Alan Fairweather
     I'm always fascinated by the people who lift huge weights, particularly in competitions like the Olympic Games. There are events for men and women and they get up on stage to lift a bar with huge weights attached. I often wonder what sort of things they're saying to themselves as they pace up and down, rubbing their hands with resin powder and taking huge breaths.What if they were saying - "That looks really heavy - it's heavier than anything I've lifted before. I'll probably drop it, make a r…

Further, let’s think of getting to consensus as a process. That is, something that happens as the result of a series of deliberate actions on our part.We start the process by analyzing the current situation - how far from consensus do we now stand? Do we have embittered, untrusting people in the…

     Five years ago, a couple of instructors that I was working with and I were brainstorming about different ways to promote our training programs more easily.

We were asked to devise a customized performance appraisal system, along with a training program, for a Fortune 500 corporation. After working through the resistance that naturally accompanie…

     It was 7:30 on a Saturday morning, and I was setting up to do the opening keynote for the conference. For some reason--I have no idea why--the sound man thought his ten year old daughter would enjoy my presentation. He'd brought her with him to work.Watching her father wiring this and plugging in that, the girl was soon as bored as only a ten year old can be. Eventually, she sauntered over to me."So who are you?" she demanded."I’m Barry Maher."Overwhelmingly unimpressed, she asked, "And w…

320. TRANSITION TO LEADERSHIP TRAINING
     Introduction: “Why the need for a transition” Human beings generally thrive on personal achievements. True leaders, on the other hand, thrive on the achievements of their team members.

They often do not possess these abilities when they first assume a leadership position. These abilities develop over time. New leaders can c…

322. What Makes A Good Media Story? By Robert Abbott
     Media relations can be difficult, but also rewarding. And the lessons we learn from working with newspapers, magazines, radio, television, and online publications should increase the effectiveness of all our communication initiatives.That's because dealing with the media parallels our dealings with other stakeholders.
