How to Overcome Decision Making Problems Making decisions is harder for some people than it is for others. Some people are just naturally good when it comes to solving problems or making decisions. Whether you have a small choice to make or a bigger workplace decision, here are a few steps to overcome this problem.

Developing The Next Generation Of Leaders One of the most important roles of senior executives is to develop the company’s future leadership. The groups of leaders that can help take the company to the next level. Even with the current economy, there is a surge of “baby boomers” retiring and it is resulting in a shortage of leaders.

The culture of the company may not actually align with their core values which make for an unhappy workplace. So how can this all be changed?

The Surprising Power of Questions Asking the right questions can get you the answers and information that you need. However, it’s often forgotten how big of a role questioning plays in our everyday interactions. Rather it’s a conversation with your parents or with a potential client, questioning helps build the foundation of our personal and business relationships.

Questioning can help build an ongoing rapport that makes people more comfortable sharing information and ideas. This creates an environment where the exchange of ideas and information becomes regular. The more comfortable we are with someone, the…
Why Sales People Fail Not everyone is a natural salesperson. Salespeople come and go in companies because they will either sink or swim. If you love sales, are able to stay organized, believe in your product and are urgent to make that sale happen, then you’ll do well. The salespeople that are lacking these qualities tend to fail miserably. Sales people fail for these reasons: Disorganization People in sales need to be organized. After all, they are balancing so many “balls in the air” at one time. The goal is to build up your product and meet with potential clients, all while fostering and facilitating good relationships within your company and with customers. Sales jobs require appointment setting, strategic planning,…
