When others bail out
My client this morning was feeling some doubt and uncertainty because other folks in his situation are bailing out of their jobs. It made him wonder whether he’s just the last person to notice that there’s something bad going on.

How often are you actually productive?
Here’s a secret that many don’t want to admit: At work, most of the time is spent not being productive. In the worst case, there are many activities which are actually counter-productive – they’re taking you further away from the goal.
When so many people are worried about losing their jobs, they’re scared to raise attention to this not-so-useful work. After all, maybe if you look busy, they’re going to assume that you must be necessary.
Ultimately, though, this destroys your heart and soul. (more…) |

I’ve been having difficulty recently with some people in my life – people in positions of power. This is in a context of a volunteer organization, but it holds just as true in business.
The two most motivating words are: “Thank You.”

You’ll hear lots of variations on the “80/20 rule”:
- 20% of the people do 80% of the useful work.
- If you do the right 20% of the solution, you’ll fix 80% of the problem.
- 80% of your time is spent doing relatively useless stuff, but the other 20%, when you’re productive, delivers 80% of the value.
- 80% of this blog post is probably wasted, so look for the 20% that you can learn something from.

Where do you find Influencers?
Whether you’re looking for a job, or to advance your career, one of the key needs is to find the decision makers who could help you achieve your goals. These are often highly placed managers who are given formal authority by the organization.
They’re pretty easy to find, but often hard to connect with. That’s where the Influencers come in. (more…) |

Your choices when a company is shaken
As many of you know, I had a long career with Hewlett-Packard. On Friday, I was surprised to hear that the CEO resigned amidst murky circumstances. Perhaps we’re hearing the real story, perhaps we aren’t, but it doesn’t really matter that much. HP is starting another change of leadership.
As an employee, I lived through CEO changeovers three times before, and I realize that there are some important choices that you need to make – as an employee, as a customer, or as a shareholder. But they’re not what you might think.

Why bother with a big goal?
That’s an interesting question, actually, because focusing on your life or career goals can be a bit of work. It’s much easier to just exist, to go with the flow, to enjoy things as they come to you – or complain when things don’t work out. This seems to have become the norm in our culture.

As we travel through the stakeholders, your customers end up being one of the most powerful categories. And the length of this list might surprise you!

Depending on your job, the end customer might seem very distant. My first career out of college was as an engineer, and there were many stages between my work and the people who actually purchased the products I worked on.

Let’s start off this series of “stakeholders” by exploring your suppliers. People can struggle with this category, so let’s explore it a bit more.

Let’s suppose that you’re in marketing or sales. Who develops the products or services that you sell? Who purchases or supplies them?
Or suppose you’re in customer service, answering questions and resolving issues. What are the products your customers call about? Who controls them?
