Hired! Dentist Bridges Gap as Salesman

Hired Dentist Bridges Gap as SalesmanHired Dentist Bridges Gap as SalesmanIm not the Tooth Fairy Frustrated by dirty mouths, Dr. Eric Foltsys drilled out a new niche for himself.Dr. Eric Foltys, DDS, had a thriving Illinois dental practice he shared with his brother. But after seven years, Foltys became frustrated by a glaring flaw in the profession Lack of patient education resulted in a lack of compliance with his suggested treatment plans.What I found welches patients had unrealistic expectations for what we could achieve for them, Foltys said. Patients just werent compliant with suggested treatment plans, which led to poorer oral and overall health. A major reason welches that, for all Foltys preaching about better oral hygiene and care, patients didnt really understand why these steps were necessary.Many patients, I felt, wanted me to wave a magic wand and make their pain or their problems go away, Foltys said. It was so frustrating I mean, Im just a dentist, Im not the Tooth F airySo he moved on to other fields, and after an unsatisfying stint in a sales position, he set out on a new job search that would leverage his doctorate in dentistry, bachelors in software engineering and sales skills.I wasnt entirely happy with my last job, he explained. I made a lateral move, got a big impressive title, and was basically doing a lot more work for a little less money.Fed up, the 41-year-old Foltys embarked on a new job search using CareerBuilder.com, which he describes as an utter failure. When he saw a banner ad on the Web advertising Ladders.com, he decided to sign up but balked a bit at the membership fee.Then I thought, Hey, whats $75 to invest in my future? So I signed up for SalesLadder, and so much of what I saw was better suited to my skill set, my background, my interests and my salary requirements, he said.A more polished resumeWhen Foltys found a absatzwirtschaft consultant position at patient-education software provider Brican America LLC, he knew hed found the job for him.Brican America develops and markets patient education software for dentists. They were looking for someone with a software, dentistry and sales background, and I was, like, Where do I sign? Foltys laughed.Before he could jump on the opportunity, however, he realized hed need to make some improvements to his resume, which he recognized was outdated and needed some pizzazz.Id redone my resume years ago, and the format was outdated, and Id sent out about one hundred copies of the old version and received no responses, he said. Foltys said he knew hed need some professional help to spice up his resume and give him the recognition he deserved.He took advantage of Ladders free resume critique, which was an invaluable resource. Ladders advised Foltys to focus on his accomplishments and career milestones rather than detailing specific job duties and mundane, day-to-day responsibilities.While the process was rather brutal, the end result was well worth it, Foltys said He was able to not just update his resume but make a much more compelling presentation of his previous jobs, skill sets and areas of expertise.They absolutely just tore my resume apart, in a way that helped me highlight my experience and my credentials so my resume could get noticed, he said.Once the new version of his resume went out, Foltys said the response was overwhelming. The response to his new resume made it simple for Foltys to sell himself to potential employers during the interview, since hed already highlighted his strengths and achievements.It made it really easy for me in interviews to make a great presentation about myself, he said. I know I would have been overlooked and passed over for opportunities had I not revamped my resume.Reducing dentist headaches (and patient toothaches)While the economy in general continues to decline, the healthcare industry is poised for growth, analysts at publisher McKinsley Company say in a recent research piece. And as the cost of he althcare rises, technologies that can put patients in better control of their health, therefore lowering the need for care and reducing the financial load on insurance payers, are in high demand.A new presidential administration with a focus on both technology and increasing access to healthcare including dental care will fuspur growth in the sector and provide opportunities for software companies looking to introduce progressive, cutting-edge solutions to providers.Dentists - especially those under the age of 45, Id say - are a pretty tech-friendly bunch, Foltys said, who has relocated to Tampa, Florida for his new job. Theyre always into the newest laser, the latest air-abrasion system, the latest toy. Anything that costs them less than $500 and can help maximize the outcome of their patients hour in the chair, theyll buy, he said.In his new role, Foltys will be addressing the exact pain points he once lamented at his own practice in Illinois educating patients about the impo rtance of complying with their treatment plans. This education can help patients take greater control over their own care, and mean fewer visits to their doctors and dentists while at the same time increasing their overall health.I am sure that this patient education software will help tackle that major missing piece of educating patients, Foltys said. Now I can help other dentists increase treatment compliance and therefore patient outcomes.

How oxytocin can help us be more neurologically productive

How oxytocin can help us be mora neurologically productiveHow oxytocin can help us be more neurologically productiveInvariably, a hoard of studies exploring the famously ambiguous hormone knows as oxytocin begin to pepper the internet around Valentines Day. What we do know about the pituitary function however-its profound effect on childbearing, empathy and social interaction, is more than enough to warrant its dubbing as The Love Hormone.Tend and defendThe endocrinology is simultaneously a punch to the gut and a pat on the back.On one hand, its a little underwhelming to know that all of the things that make us feel warm and husky can be traced to a gland residing in the rotting meat in our heads. But its somehow concurrently comforting to know why and how we love someone can be vividly sketched by neurology.As it turns out love is encouraged and mediated by a temperate-mathematic entitt every kiss and hug funded by a network of hypothalamicanimations. But oxytocin doesnt retire once bonds have been successfully established between mates.The neuropeptide is expressed primarily in women as it helps with increasing uterine contractions during labor and cervical dilation. It promotes the nurturing maternal link by surging in accordance with things like a childs cry and suckling.Oxytocin levels increase in recent fathers as well, though its stimulation belongs to different factorsarousing play, focus on joint exploration, and stimulatory touch specifically.More grimly, the neurotransmitter has been proven to inspire intolerance. A study conducted back in 2014, examined two groups of Dutch men one group given oxytocin, the other given placebos.Both groups were tasked with choosing five men they would give lifeboats to. The ones on oxytocin were found to be more likely to reject Muslim or German-sounding names, while the placebo groups decisions were notably less informed by superficial factors.The hormones mission to tend and defend makes us more prone to form alleg iances towards those with similar characteristics and just as well more readily aware of distinctions.We are genetically presupposed to crumble in the presence of tribalism.NeuroeconomicsThere are less obvious by-products of the hypothalamus as well. Because oxytocin impacts our ability to process social cues, it indirectly correlates to our productivity in the workplace.In an attempt to better comprehend the effect neurology has on a healthy corporate community, neuroeconomist Paul J. Zak, successfully administered synthetic oxytocin into living brains during an experiment in the early 2000s. His team of researchers found increased levels of the hormones to have a clear effect on the firms profitability and the feelings of fulfillment in those cohabiting it.According to Zak, productivity lives and dies by one stipulation a strong community composed of members that have a clear understanding of their purpose within it.Being rewarded trust by another increases levels of oxytocin sign ificantly. Individuals with higher levels of oxytocin are found to have lower levels of stress, depression and be more apt at social interaction.The same tend and defend mechanic can apply to a corporation. Employers are biologically incentivized to work harder for those they feel bonded towards.Zak remarks These laboratory studies showed that when trust between team members is high, oxytocin flows and work feels less like, well, work, and more like doing interesting things with friends. Organic methods of raising oxytocinThe production of oxytocin is all about catering to all the things that bring you joy. Considering the intimate things that make us happy is sort heretical in the corporate world, but it has an undeniable affect on its ability to thrive. Pet a dog, listen to music, copulate, take a bubble bath, hug a baby, (your own baby please).The great thing about oxytocin though is that it responds equally to feeling good as it does to making others feel good. Giving gifts has been studied to raise levels of the hormone. Perfect timing too. People that receive chocolate and flowers exhibit higher levels of oxytocin, as do people that bequeath them.Its an evolutionary mistake not to revel in love and empathy.

Bangladesh Bridge PromiseTransformations Economic

Bangladesh Bridge PromiseTransformations Economic Bangladesh Bridge PromiseTransformations Economic The bridge is at least three years away but it has already caused a stir in Bangladesh. Scheduled to be completed in 2014, the 6.15 km-long Padma Bridge, the longest in South Asia, is expected to transform the countrys economically depressed southwest zone by connecting it to the capital city of Dhaka and other relatively developed regions. At least 30 million people, almost one-fifth of the countrys total population, will directly benefit from the bridge, according to a study by the World Bank. The mega-project, costing nearly $3 billion, has become a reality after the World Bank formally announced its contribution of $1.2 billion on Jan. 13, 2011. In addition, the Asian Development Bank has committed $615 million; Japan 400 million; the Islamic Development Bank $140 million. The remainder will be paid by the Bangladesh government. The Padma river has a tendency to change course.The Project The proposed bridge is the largest infrastructure project ever undertaken in the country. It is a multipurpose fixed crossing over the Padma River with provisions for a rail line, gas pipeline, fiber-optic cable, and power transmission lines. The two-level steel truss bridge will carry a four-lane highway on the upper level and a single track railway on a lower level.The bridge lies on the Dhaka-Kolkata (India) link and will form an integral part of the Asian Highway and Euro-Asian Railway network systems. Once the bridge is built, travel between the southern districts and Dhaka will be cut by 100 km, benefiting not only the relatively undeveloped southwestern region, but the country as a whole. The project consists of a double-deck, steel-truss bridge with a four-lane, divided highway on the top deck and a single track rail on the bottom deck. The bridge will have two toll plazas and a 12-km-long, four-lane approach road on the southern side with service areas for construction management and tourism in the postconstruction phase. Technological Challenges Jamilur Reza Choudhury is the chairman of theInternational Panel of Experts, Padma Bridge Project, and former professor of civil engineering, BUET. As Bangladeshs foremost expert on the bridge project, he says the construction will involve two major technological challenges. The first is in the bridges foundation. According to Choudhury, the structure will have the deepest piles used in bridge foundations anywhere in the world. These very large diameter, tubular steel piles inclined from the vertical will have to be driven to depths of 115 m. So the contractors will have to mobilize the heaviest pile-driving hammers ever used. The best known manufacturer of such hammers is in Germany and they are used in construction of offshore oil platforms. The second is in river training. Builders must ensure that river water continues to flow under the bridge and that the approach roads leading to the bridge are not attacked by outflanking channels. The Padma River (which carries the combined flow of the Ganges and the Brahmaputra) has a tendency to change course, with bank lines moving up to 1 km in a year. Designers must ensure the banks remain stable and do not erode from the alignment existing at the beginning of the construction. This will require dredging up to a depth of 30 m and laying a stone mattress consisting of very heavy rocks. The other challenging aspect is the depth of scour,the depth to which the riverbed can be eroded. It can be as high as 50 m. This means that the foundations and the river training works must be designed to continue functioning even after deep scours take place. The volume of water passing under the bridge could be as high as 140,000 cubic meters per second, making it one of the highest in the world. The bridges length of 6.15 kmwas neededto allow this volume of water to pass under the bridge. Socio-Economic Impact The social, economic, and industrial underdevelopment of the southwest zonewhich encompasses Bangladeshs second major port, Mongla, its third major city, Khulna, and the inland port at Benapole bordering Indiais due in part to difficult access across the Padma River to the rest of the country. The bridge is expected to have a profound impact on the 30 million-plus people living in the southwest and accelerate economic growth in the country as a whole, according to the World Bank. At the same time, it is expected to raise Bangladeshs GDP by 1.2%, pushing it over 7% and thus, enabling it to become a middle-income country by World Bank standards, with over $1,000 per capita income by 2020. A total of 73,329 people will be affected by the construction of the bridge. The government has already allocated $30 million for their rehabilitation. Communications Minister Syed Abul Hossain hopes construction work will begin in early March 2012, shortly after the selection of the contractor through international bidding. Arshad Mahmud is an independent writer. At least 30 million people, almost one-fifth of the country’s total population, will directly benefit from the bridge, according to a study by the World Bank.

Why Bowling Is a Good Team Building Exercise

Why Bowling Is a Good Team Building Exercise Why Bowling Is a Good Team Building Exercise Its good to develop your own team building exercises whenever possible. No outside consulting company knows your people or your company culture as well as you do. You can do a variety of exercises or play a variety of sports as team builders. Some people are concerned about using sports for ?team building, but I have built successful exercises around bowling, even for non-bowlers. Bowling As a Team Sport Although bowling is usually seen on television as an individual sport, it is more common for bowling to be enjoyed as a team sport. Most bowling alleys have league competitions for teams every night of the week and leagues for children on the weekend. While individual bowlers compare their scores against other individuals, bowling teams simply add their scores together and compare that against the other teams cumulative score. It is easy to build on that team aspect of bowling to use it as a team building exercise for your organization. Building the Teams The people you assign to a team will have to work together during the event to succeed. That determines how you assign them. For instance, if the Finance department was to have a bowling-based team building exercise, they would have to decide whether to make the teams along the functional lines (an Accounts Payable team, an Accounts Receivable team, a General Accounting team, etc.) to strengthen teamwork within those groups or to make the teams from members of the different functional groups to build teamwork within the department as a whole. Try to balance the teams. If you have a few good bowlers, make sure you distribute them among the teams. Make sure you balance athletes versus non-athletes across the teams as well. The people with bowling experience or athletic skill will need to help their teammates. Thats what team building is all about the people with a particular skill helping their team when it needs that skill. Getting Ready First, select a location. Pick a bowling alley that is conveniently close to the office or in a location that everyone can easily find. Most bowling alleys of any size have some sort of food service and in some, its quite good. Many bowling alleys have become non-smoking establishments recently to attract more of the family traffic. Some have a specific person on staff whose job is to help coordinate parties and events like team building. If you dont know an appropriate bowling alley, ask around. They bowlers in the organization can recommend a place or two and then you can check them out. Bowling requires special shoes that allow the bowler to slide when throwing the ball and that wont scratch the wood floors of the bowling alleys. Bowling alleys rent those shoes and they are usually included in the prices they quote for team building events. Your bowlers may have their own bowling balls, but the bowling alley will have a selection for the other participants to use. Bowling balls vary in weight from about 10 pounds to a maximum of 16 pounds. Bowlers should pick a ball thats weight is easily controlled. It is not necessary to pick the heaviest ball. Again, the experienced bowlers can help the novices. Make sure the ball you select will slide easily off your fingers when thrown  but is not so loose as to fall off on your backswing. Different Bowling Games for Team Building Most bowling alleys now have automatic scoring systems that keep track of each bowlers score and totals. The easiest team building event would be to have each team bowl three games and add up their scores for each player for all three games. You can easily vary that by adding different styles of games. For example, in game 1, everyone bowls normally; in game 2, they switch to their opposite hand - righties bowl left-handed and lefties bowl righty; in game 3, pins knocked down only count if they exceed the frame number. The automatic scorers will total the first two games for you, but youll need someone on each team to keep track of scores in game 3. Reinforce Team Building with Awards Decide ahead of time what awards to hand out at the conclusion of the event. Identical prizes should be given to all team members of the team with the highest score and of the second and third place teams. You may want to award a few individual prizes for the  highest score in each game. Humorous awards like most improved, worst bowler, lowest score, can lighten the mood as well as give you a way to include more non-bowlers in the prizes. The Bottom Line A bowling-based team building exercise can work for your people. It provides positive reinforcement of teamwork and lets them build interpersonal relationships that can help on the job.

A Career in Sales Management

A Career in Sales Management A Career in Sales Management You have earned the respect of upper management and have been offered a promotion into the wonderful world of sales management. Along with the promotion comes an increase in base salary, the ability to pick and mold your sales team, added stress and responsibility and, as a final bonus, higher expectations and a few sleepless nights! Before you accept the promotion, there are a number of things you need to consider and to be aware of. While sales management positions vary wildly from company to company, there are several commonalities, each of which will affect you to some degree. Its No Longer Just You In a sales position, you have only yourself and your results to concern yourself with. While you may be the greatest team player in company history, your co-workers performance, good or bad, probably has little to no effect on your income. How many calls you make is up to you and whether to take a vacation or not affects only you. Not so when it comes to management. Sales managers are judged by the overall performance of their entire team. If the team does well, your senior leaders will feel that you are effectively completing your job. If your team is not doing well, the opposite is often true. This creates an obvious and universal problem for sales managers: No matter how hard a manager works and no matter how talented of a manager she may be, if the team is weak, uninspired or simply are struggling, the sales manager takes the heat. Once a sales professional accepts a promotion to sales management, she is no longer fully in control of their level of success. Its Hard to Find Good Talent One of the most challenging and important jobs that most sales managers are responsible for is recruiting. Since most sales organizations have upwards of 15% turnover rates, recruiting is something that should occur all the time. A manager knows when a sales professional of his team is not going to make it and can begin looking for a replacement as soon as a rep begins to fall below the minimum expectation levels. That same manager usually has no warning when an average or high performing rep may turn in their notice. Surprise job openings are the enemy of a sales teams results. Beyond career fairs, internal and external recruiters and open houses, successful managers often use the 5-foot rule. Essentially, the 5-foot rule means that anyone that a sales manager comes in contact with, who shows promise or interest, should be added to a people pipeline. This pipeline should always be filled with potential candidates, and each should be contacted frequently. Having a full pipeline greatly mitigates the effects of surprise vacancies and also allows for quicker replacements of terminated reps. A Manager, Coach, and Therapist Going into management with the idea that your sole task will be to manage your team to deliver expected results is a sign of either nativity or improper recruiting from senior management. Managing is just one part of a sales managers job. Effective managers understand that they must be leaders, coaches, managers and, at times, therapists. For clarity, it is important to understand that you manage processes, you lead and coach people. Everyone on a sales team is a person, with their set of skills, strengths, weaknesses, goals, desires and personal issues. Trying to manage people is like herding cats. ?Leading and coaching take character, skill, patience, and respect. The Rewards With most sales organizations, the jobs with the highest earning potential are sales positions, so moving to sales management can be somewhat of a pay cut. However, most sales managers earn a higher base salary and an override on their teams performance. The better your team does, the more you will earn. Train, manage, lead and coach your team so that they are all high achievers and your bank account will bring a smile to your face every morning. While there are several other rewards besides the income, the most commonly appreciated reward that sales managers receive is when they see their efforts pay off for someone else. Helping a struggling rep close a big deal, overcome a fear or build self-confidence is a tremendous feeling. Doing so is not only rewarding in the moment, but it pays dividends that last a career.

Saying no is its own leadership capability 8 ways to say it with grace and style

Saying 'no' is its own leadership capability 8 ways to say it with grace and style Saying 'no' is its own leadership capability 8 ways to say it with grace and style In a world of more requests than we can possibly fulfill, learning to say no with grace and style is a skill we all need.We should be saying no more than we say yes, although the opposite is usually true. We say yes too quickly and no too slowly.To consistently say no with grace and clarity, we need a variety of responses. To some people, this comes naturally. Others, however, offer noncommittal answers like “I’ll try to fit that in,” or “I might be able to” when they know full well they can’t.It’s far better, however, to offer a clear “no” than string someone along or give them a “slow no.”In Greg McKeown’s book Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less, there is a great section called “The No Repertoire.”Saying no is its own leadership capability. It is not just a peripheral skill. As with any ability, we start with limited experience.He offers eight responses you can put into your repertoire.1. The awkward pauseInstead of being controlled by the thr eat of an awkward silence, own it. Use it as a tool. When a request comes to you (obviously this works only in person), just pause for a moment. Count to three before delivering your verdict. Or if you get a bit more bold, simply wait for the other person to fill the void.2. The soft “no” (or the “no but”)I recently received an e-mail inviting me to coffee. I replied: “I am consumed with writing my book right now ?? But I would love to get together once the book is finished. Let me know if we can get together towards the end of the summer.”E-mail is also a good way to start practicing saying “no but” because it gives you the chance to draft and redraft your “no” to make it as graceful as possible. Plus, many people find that the distance of e-mail reduces the fear of awkwardness.3. “Let me check my calendar and get back to you”One leader I know found her time being hijacked by other people all day. A classic Nonessentialist, she was capable and smart and unab le to say no, and as a result, she soon became a “go to” person. People would run up to her and say, “Could you help with X project?” Meaning to be a good citizen, she said yes. But soon she felt burdened with all of these different agendas. Things changed for her when she learned to use a new phrase: “Let me check my calendar and get back to you.” It gave her the time to pause and reflect and ultimately reply that she was regretfully unavailable. It enabled her to take back control of her own decisions rather than be rushed into a “yes” when she was asked.4. Use e-mail bouncebacksIt is totally natural and expected to get an auto-response when someone is traveling or out of the office. Really, this is the most socially acceptable “no” there is. People aren’t saying they don’t want to reply to your e-mail, they’re just saying they can’t get back to you for a period of time. So why limit these to vacations and holidays? When I was writing this book I set an e-mail bounceback with the subject line “In Monk Mode.” The e-mail said: “Dear Friends, I am currently working on a new book which has put enormous burdens on my time. Unfortunately, I am unable to respond in the manner I would like. For this, I apologize.- Greg.” And guess what? People seemed to adapt to my temporary absence and non-responsiveness just fine.5. Say, “Yes. What should I de-prioritize?”Saying no to a senior leader at work is almost unthinkable, even laughable, for many people. However, when saying yes is going to compromise your ability to make the highest level of contribution to your work, it is also your obligation. In this case, it is not only reasonable to say no, it is essential. One effective way to do that is to remind your superiors what you would be neglecting if you said yes and force them to grapple with the trade-off.For example, if your manager comes to you and asks you to do X, you can respond with “Yes, I’m happy to make this the prior ity. Which of these other projects should I deprioritize to pay attention to this new project?” Or simply say, “I would want to do a great job, and given my other commitments I wouldn’t be able to do a job I was proud of if I took this on.”I know a leader who received this response from a subordinate. There was no way he wanted to be responsible for disrupting this productive and organized employee, so he took the non-essential work project back and gave it to someone else who was less organized!6. Say it with humorI recently was asked by a friend to join him in training for a marathon. My response was simple: “Nope!” He laughed a little and said, “Ah, you practice what you preach.” Just goes to show how useful it is to have a reputation as an Essentialist!7. Use the words“You are welcome to X. I am willing to Y.” For example, “You are welcome to borrow my car. I am willing to make sure the keys are here for you.” By this, you are also saying, “I won’t be able to drive you.” You are saying what you will not do, but you are couching it in terms of what you are willing to do. This is a particularly good way to navigate a request you would like to support somewhat but cannot throw your full weight behind. I particularly like this construct because it also expresses a respect for the other person’s ability to choose, as well as your own. It reminds both parties of the choices they have.8. “I can’t do it, but X might be interested”It is tempting to think that our help is uniquely invaluable, but often people requesting something don’t really care if we’re the ones who help them - as long as they get the help.Tom Friel, the former CEO of Heidrick Struggles, once said, “We need to learn the slow ‘yes’ and the quick ‘no.’”Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less isn’t about doing more with less but rather the disciplined pursuit of focusing on the right things.This  article  originally appeared on  FarnamS treet.com.

3 traits that explain why some managers are ineffective

3 traits that explain why some managers are ineffective 3 traits that explain why some managers are ineffective It is said that people don’t quit companies, they quit managers. Unfortunately, we all know just how true that is. Think about the last few jobs that you’ve had. What made you quit? Or even worse, what made you stay, but hate your job every day? More than likely a bad manager had a lot to do with that. Here are some of my top bad manager traits, along with what I consider the opposite; what makes great managers and leaders.Trait 1: Lack of authenticityUnfortunately, there seems to be a sentiment, especially amongst new managers that they should talk, act, dress or behave in a certain way because they have the title of “Manager.” They think that their authority and/or effectiveness depends on fitting some kind of mold. So they try to put up some kind of act. Instead of just being truly and honestly who they really are and being completely honest and real with their teams, they try to play the “role” of manager.Unfortunately, this just causes them to have a superficial, gua rded relationship with their teams and they miss out on the real connection that builds strong teams. See how to become more authentic in my article titled Being Authentic: Why dropping the mask means more than you think.Trait 2:  Lack of vision  Most of us want to know that we are part of something bigger than ourselves. We want to work in a job doing something significant, something meaningful, something inspiring. The most successful leaders and managers that I have seen, all have clear, inspiring visions of something significant. They know where they’re going and they inspire the team to go with them on a journey that makes a difference to the world around them.When our leaders and managers lack this kind of vision, it just becomes a dull, dead-end job where people clock in and out in mindless monotony. Who wants that? Do you want to become more visionary as a leader? Check out this article: Vision: The uncommon career and life accelerator.Trait 3: Caring about career advancem ent more than peopleUnfortunately, too many people go into management for the money, the status, the power, the title or the benefits. And once they get a taste of all that, they just want more and more of it, and it becomes a race for “Kingdom building” and for climbing the ladder to the top. In the process, the people in their teams just become “resources“ or pawns in a giant chess game for power.By contrast, real leaders and managers care about every individual in their teams. They focus on their success, their growth and their development and they truly work as servant leaders to help every individual be successful.What does success look like?I believe that truly effective managers are servant leaders who truly care about the individuals on their teams. They Focus on mentoring, growing and developing their teams and the people in them. They focus on  inspiring their teams  with highly motivating visions and strategy. They focus on building a strong, inspiring culture of empowerment and collaboration. They focus on building an environment that makes people excited to come to work every day.I have been very fortunate and humbled that every time I have switched positions to lead a new team, I have had several people follow me from team to team, wanting to work with me again. Many of these a second or third time. To me, there is no greater compliment as a manager or leader than having people follow you wherever you go.We all spend way too much time at work to be working for bad managers in bad environments. My hope for you is that you would find a manager that motivates and inspires you in the ways I described above. My wish is that they create an environment where you are excited to come to work every day.Heinrich Stander is a  career coach for RocketFuel4Careers.com.This  column  first appeared at  Quora.

7 Ways Leadership Is Changing for Financial Executives

7 Ways Leadership Is Changing for Financial Executives 7 Ways Leadership Is Changing for Financial Executives Leading a finance department is not easy in today's dynamic business environment. In fact, according to a recent Robert Half Management Resources survey, roughly two-thirds of CFOs said being a business leader today is more challenging than it was five years ago. Only 4 percent said it’s easier. However, the research also found a silver lining for executives: Their employees appreciate their work. Nearly nine in 10 workers (87 percent) said they are confident in their company’s leaders. Robert Half senior executive director Paul McDonald  notes, “Professionals understand how challenging managing a department or company can be and respect the work of their supervisors. Successful executives engage their employees, help them build their leaderships skills and work to grow the business together.” Following are seven challenges facing leaders and their teams today and the attributes financial executives need to address them. 1. Taking a ‘big picture’ view As CFOs whose work outside of finance has expanded in recent years know well, executives are no longer tasked with just overseeing their department. They must draw on their strong business acumen, understanding how their unit’s decisions and performance affect the broader organization. 2. Managing a dispersed workforce Managers need to engage and build trust with a workforce that often includes team members in different locations. Leaders must be adept at reaching across geographies - and frequently, time zones - to build trust with employees and learn how to motivate each person. 3. Overcoming staffing challenges Building a skilled team in the face of candidate shortages and retention concerns requires special talents. Business leaders today are tasked with fostering relationships with recruiting sources and developing an effective staffing management strategy, blending full-time personnel with specialized professionals who can be brought in on-demand. 4. Turning data into strategic recommendations The unprecedented amount of information available to companies today is a potential boon to the corporate decision-making process. However, its advantages can only be exploited by executives who understand the data they need, how to obtain it and how to turn it into actionable guidance. 5. Maintaining an edge over diverse competitors Firms face threats not just from traditional competitors, but also increasingly from organizations disrupting the marketplace with new business models. Organizations need leaders who can anticipate changes in the competitive landscape and inspire innovation to stay on top. 6. Remaining compliant with evolving mandates Regulatory pressures continue to mount for many industries and companies. Executives today need to be experts on the mandates affecting their business and understand how compliance is more than meeting a set of requirements and can instead help the firm prosper. 7. Keeping up with technology As history has repeatedly shown, technology can change everything at a moment’s notice. The onus is on business leaders to monitor the technology trends affecting their organizations and positions and adapt accordingly. Here are some additional results from the Robert Half Management Resources survey on the leadership challenges today's financial executive face: Tags

The Friendish Workplace

The Friendish Workplace The Friendish Workplace When a supervisor is understood to be friendly, that’s normally taken and offered as code for “but not friends”. To presume that you are friends with your boss (or even with a coworker) just because (s)he is friendly is, well, presumptuous. The new manager who, on day one, says, “I like to think of myself as being friendly and accessible” is almost certainly and rightly being perceived as ruling out being friends and tacitly warning staff against expecting or trying to accomplish that. Nonetheless, knowing that you are dealing with someone professing or perceived to be “friendly” can be very confusing and raise false expectations of “friendship”. Misunderstood warning shots can take another commonplace form (in or outside the workplace): Despite the ominous overtones of “just friends”, said to the jilted or otherwise rejected, it still sounds like some kind of achievement and encouragement- that, in being misunderstood, can raise false hopes and cause serious missteps. The challenge in all these cases is to distinguish the merely friendly sheep from the true friend goat, if confusion, embarrassment, disappointment and possible serious trouble are to be prevented. As for “friendly friends”, somehow that notion makes sense only when describing how one’s friends behave with non-friend third-parties. The (Office) Politics of Friendship The political correlate of “friend” is “ally”. Is an ally best understood as a nation that “likes” you as a “friend”, or merely one that will collaborate and cooperate to achieve some shared or private objective (often ultimately or secretly not your goal)? Even and especially in politics, “friendly and frank meetings” suggests alignment of self-serving strategic and tactical interests more than friendship. Nothing is more frustrating and dangerous than to go to war expecting your allies to back you, only to discover that they were friendly, but not friends. In the professional arena, coworkers and the workplace itself are supposed to be “friendly”. It’s considered nice to have and to try to become “friends” at work. In the world of social media, being “friended” on Facebook is, by the naïve, taken to be the pinnacle of social success and existential validation. But how many of these “friends” actually care about you or are prepared to actually offer help when it’s needed? The dictionary explanation that a friend is “1. a person whom one knows well and is fond of; intimate associate; close acquaintance 2. a person on the same side in a struggle; one who is not an enemy or foe; ally” (Merriam Webster) is too weak, since neither of these definitions suggests helpfulness, willingness to sacrifice on one’s behalf or deep concern about one’s well being. As a substitute for these, “fond of” is rather anemic.   I can be fond of you, but unwilling to make any sacrifice for you. Consider the dowager Victorian aunt, in an equally Victorian novel, who says to her wastrel nephew looking for a handout, “I am very fond of you dear boy, but….” As for the second definition, it sounds too much like Dubbya: “You’re either with us or you are with the terrorists.” It rules out (friendly) neutrality of action. “Conversationships” and the Irish The temptation to think that, just because you blather with friendly people online, you have friendships with them must be resisted. These are, in many cases, merely what I call “conversationships” (which despite their multifarious engaging functions, such as boasting, complaining, comparing, confessing, rationalizing, information mining and reassurance, are mostly friendly talk, rather than soul-melding proof of deep friendship). Then there are the national reputations: “Canadians (the Irish, the Chinese, Americans, the Nepalese,….) are so friendly!” Those who travel say and hear it all the time, yet, strangely, on reflection acknowledge that, all too often, it’s a case of “always friendly, never friends”. (Equally odd is the selective use of “the” when praising some countries and their people: Americans will never say “the Canadians are friendly”, preferring “Canadians are friendly”. Is it because “the” suggests “all of them”, which is, at best, a friendly overstatement? On the other hand, nobody says “Irish are friendly”. It’s always “The Irish are friendly”- perhaps because it is widely believed that all of them are? (Note: The Scots really are friendly [too].) The Concept of Being “Friendish” So, how can we demarcate those who are merely friendly from those who are friends, in order to avoid overstepping those lines of expectation and behavior? One useful criterion is very easy to state: A friend is someone who will actually offer you a nice day, instead of just wishing you one. (The wish is valid evidence of friendliness, not friendship.) The problem with this is that despite its clarity and conciseness, it is not as widely applied as it should be. Hence, the common mistake of assuming that friendly people want to be friends, e.g., invite you to come over and toss a shrimp on the barbie, and the inevitable disappointment in discovering that most have absolutely no interest in or intention of becoming friends. To the extent that the concept of being friendly is misinterpreted and over-extended to erroneously forecast friendship, it may be advisable to replace it with another concept that more clearly connotes “always friendly, never friends”. My proposal is to coin and use my term for this: “friendish”. One advantage of “friendish” over “friendly” and “friends” is that, in being an unfamiliar concept, it forces us to pause and think about what we really mean- something that “friendly” (in part because of its familiarity, in part because of wishful thinking) does not. A second advantage is that it sounds like “Irish”, which, of course, sounds…. …very friendly, without any presumed promise of more than that.
