These days there's a lot of focus on organizational culture in terms of its ability to attract and retain employees in today's shrinking labour market.

Whether your whole team is performing below par or you have a team member who is not measuring up to your standards, you as a new manager are responsible for knowing how to handle poor performance.

How many times have you heard the phrase, “communication is key?” If you’re anything like me, the advice has now become trite, losing any significance or weightiness it once had. But ignoring this advice with any relationship can be detrimental to the deep connection you are trying to create with another person. When we aren’t intentional with the way we communicate, things can turn sour quickly.

Top Sales Reps are Buyer-Centric. The secret to increasing your sales is not to push harder; it is to be more buyer-centric. The secret is to get to know your client and their business so well that they see you as an ally focused on helping them to succeed personally and professionally – not as an adversary in a push-pull exchange. Remember, buyers don’t want a list of what your product can do; they want to solve their problems.

Earlier, employees aspired to land a safe and secure job to settle into for the rest of their work life. Work-life balance was something practically unheard of. But the corporate culture entered into an entirely new axis with the dot com boom of 1995.
