Actual for You - Universal Principals That Guide Business Growth
Even if we don’t always want to hear it, feedback can strengthen our businesses. In this article I discuss the value of feedback, how to get it and act on it, and when to give it.I learned the value of feedback while working in the restaurant business. I started as a server at a Marriott Hotel where we were asked to give our guests evaluation cards to fill out. At first I hated doing this, even though guests were thanking and praising my service along with leaving hefty tips. Then we had a contest to reward the person who turned in the most cards (which I won, by the way).The feedback was mostly laudatory, but I also picked up some suggestions on how to be even better. And, if a guest was unhappy about somethin

Many of us at some time or another will complain of feeling “stuck”. We say we’re not ready; we need to do more research or get another degree or more experience. We blame our parents, ourselves, the job market. We complain about all those things we still haven’t done and yet we postpone taking action. When will we be ready to just do it?When I lived in San Diego, California, I produced an afternoon radio program that went to air live from 3 to 6 p.m. I used to arrive early and start digging for good stories to feature. I was always searching for what we called in the business “go

Many exhibitors are moving away from the standard 10’ pop-up curved wall display in favor of different uses for the pop-up aluminum frame. The pop-up frame, with fabric panels magnetically adhered to the front with the use of folding, metal channels bars has been the “convenience” standard for over 15 years. Most exhibitors put velcro on the back of their graphics, and then just arranged them on the face of the curved wall pop-up as desired. The pop-ups started replacing the old, folding panel style display in the early nineties, as their portable cases were lighter and smaller, too. The convenience of the pop-up style exhibit quickly supplanted the bulky, heavy flat panel displays then in use.Within the last few years, this technology ha

If you ask a real estate agent, “What’s the difference between mortgage brokers?” you’ll consistently hear the same response, “Nothing,” or “They’re all the same.” Yet, when you look closely, there are lots of differences between them.There are mortgage brokers who get 98% of their loans closed on time, and then there are those who get 2% of their loans closed on time. There are mortgage brokers who return phone messages to agents within the hour and then there are those who haven’t returned phone messages to agents from last month.

"One who fears failure limits his activities. Failure is only the opportunity more intelligently to begin again." — Henry Ford, early 20th century American automobile pioneerThe environment of most organizations is too poisonous for innovation and organizational learning to flourish. A mistake is generally a CLM — career-limiting move. Making a mistake in front of many managers is like cutting yourself in front of Dracula. So people become defensive. They cover up problems, set backs, and missed goals. When people in closed, mistake-averse organizations encounter problems, they immediately go to work on fixing. . . the blame.
