Effective management is all about successfully achieving the long and short term goals while guiding everyone towards the vision of the organisation. However, it is easier said than done. As a manager, having a management system that fulfils your goals and at the same time, maintains the balance to keep the employees happy can be difficult. Organisations can adopt different styles of management, but it all comes down to the fact of how effective these styles are turning out to be.

Without question, one of the skills to succeed at leadership is being an effective communicator. And one of the best ways to communicate a vision is through the use of storytelling. So how can we use this tool more effectively? That's the focus of this latest episode of my leadership podcast “Leadership Biz Cafe”. Of course, being both a keynote speaker and writer, the art of storytelling and using stories to convey an idea or concept is something I'm quite familiar with.

Corporate life can be a tough ordeal at times. The unrelenting work pressure, heavy work demands, and arduously long work hours associated with a corporate life can affect even the best of us. Moreover, these factors can also give rise to workplace stress and a lack of satisfaction in life in general. For people working in a corporate, it is very important to keep a fine balance between work life and personal life.

Coming up with a great office party idea is a pain in the ass. Not only does it have to be fun, but also light on the pockets. And let’s face it, isn’t a big chunk of employee branding all about office parties? Be it a holiday gathering or success celebration, office parties are now a norm (and a headache) for the human resources department. From deciding on a theme, maintaining the business etiquette, to making employees actually show up, putting up an office party is an uphill task.

Also, by the year 2020, half of all US workers will be comprised of millennials.

The Concept of Talent. In general when we think of talent, we think of someone’s having a special gift, a natural aptitude or skill. And we think that such a talent is given to only a few. If we don’t have it, we can’t get it. But new research in how the brain works tells us that we should broaden the concept of talent in a way that will help improve your ability to learn.
