How To Prevent Obstruction By Knowledge
Our point of view, perception, and learning are all objects of our knowledge, and these are things that prevent us from going ahead. "I already know everything there is to know about that. I don't need to learn any more." We have arrived only at the fourth rung of the ladder, yet we think it is the top rung. Whatever the value of what our intellect and our insight has attained, we have to abandon it. If we don't, we put an end to further progress. Even though it has some value, our knowledge has become an obstacle. If we are caught in our knowledge, if we say that our knowledge is absolute truth,

I was reminded of this story by Trish, a former colleague. I hadn’t forgotten, because it was the catalyst for a new career advancement strategy I developed. In my various human resource roles I always advise my clients to consider a range of self promotion strategies to advance their career. As a result of the case study below, I developed a new strategy to take the initiative to keep their own company employee file updated by ensuring the Human Resource Department received and recorded in their employee file a pr?cis of any new skills, qualifications or experience they had gained. This is important if they don’t want to be overlooked for promotion, considered for special projects, receive appropriate remuneration, receive a good and accurate reference, and as we will see in this “real" case study, to keep a job.

FTC Reviews The Franchise Rule
After more than a decade since the last attempt to update the 1970’s Franchise Rule The Federal Trade Commission is at it again. May I ask why we are looking at reviewing these rules for franchising, where no problems exist? Why we are looking to tighten up ambiguities, which over time have occurred in this sector, when we should be dismantling the over regulations choking the industry? Why we are trying make rules upon rules, where no rules are needed since no problem really exits? Why can’t we use the red magic marker approach and start drawing lines thru massive amount meaningless dribble r

Power Tools: The Products Behind the Colors
It’s kind of funny how the sales and marketing/advertising folks of the power tool companies have “drilled” into our heads the brand logos and the coordinating colors that accompany them. Do you think this was done completely by accident, or were there secret tests going on behind the scenes in your local hardware store’s backroom? Whatever the case may be, orange and black means Black & Decker; DeWalts brand is yellow; Milwaukee is the “power-color” of red; and Hitachi is that bright, neon-greenish hue that might one-day attempt to glow in the dark.Believe me when I tell you that the col

Medical Sales Job For Nurses
After I did my speech at a local Toastmasters meeting, another member came up to me and asked about how to get in touch with pharmaceutical companies. It turns out that she was a nurse at one of Montreal’s largest hospitals and she knew that I had worked in medical sales for many years. She was thinking about a career change after many years working in the hospital as a nurse and wanted to find out about the possibility of a medical sales job for nurses.Of course, I told her that a medical sales job would be a natural career change for her and other nurses. They already know the medical sc

Amalgamation and a new service direction for the company had been mooted for a year, and retrenchments seemed inevitable. Jill thought she would be retained; in fact she seemed confident and would never discuss it. Then one day the bad news came. She was being retrenched.

The decision was made by looking at the application forms and other data in the employees’ files, such as professional development courses attended, higher duties performed and attendance records, for instance. Further, Supervisors were consulted and employees were rated against new criteria. Jill was deemed to be amongst the least qualified to fit in with new organisation structure and to work with the new computer system. Trish and I questioned Jill about this unfair process. Surely appeals should be heard. We were outraged, saying “they can’t do that". But after questioning Jill further, several damming facts emerged.
