Before You Reject Your New Technology . .I'll admit I'm just as guilty on this topic as most people – every time Microsoft launches a new version of Office my first reaction is to reject it. If you just spent the last two years getting comfortable with Microsoft Word and recently switched over to Office 2007, you know what I'm talking about – new menus, new look and feel, different shortcuts, etc. Why couldn't they just leave well enough alone? Before you reject your new technology, let me offer a software designer's perspective. Do You Care Too Much?Yesterday a friend told me that, due to corporate restructuring, he lost his executive position and effectively became a sales person. While he still has a vested interested in the company doing well he's lost his passion for his job and is looking for something else. Many of us can probably relate to this lack of pride or interest when necessary changes are made. Substitute Fear With Passion And SucceedThere are lots of books and articles on how to overcome fear, and even more when you narrow that fear down to something specific like public speaking. I have chosen to live my life with a simple belief that fear will not be the reason I don’t do something. Lead On Friday To Be Happy On MondayI have mentioned in previous articles that I approach leadership from the "servant leadership" mindset. This means that I put the interest of my team before my own (of course, with the interest of my company's overall welfare as the focus). When New Ideas Draw Out Your Team’s FearsYou just spent the past weekend dreaming up a new strategy. Taking all your experience, knowledge and expertise into account, your plan is brilliant and sure to work. And then you tell your team about your great idea. Do they share your excitement or express concern, risk and react with fear? Strategies For Effective Communication Via EmailI’m sure you already know how to write and send emails but are you writing your emails to ensure they get the response you want? Emails are like miniature marketing messages between you and one or more people. What you say is important but how you say it may actually be even more important. Our Mental Muscles Need Warming Up TooThere are some tasks I find very intriguing and invigorating, like designing a new product, while others seem to take forever to complete. The ones that take forever can be very stimulating and rewarding, like working on creative messaging or product marketing analysis, but I find it hard to focus long enough to finish the task. Happiness Requires Your Emotional Commitment To Your CareerThere is an advertisement by the Breitling watch company that shows John Travolta in front of an airplane (see image). The caption says “Profession: Pilot, Career: Actor”. This caption always makes me ponder the difference between my profession and my career. The dictionary says your profession is your vocation, skill or trade, while your career is your life-long work. "Quick-Wins" For Improving EfficiencyHere are a few quick, simple and inexpensive ways you can improve your efficiency. Do The Right Thing, Not The Lazy ThingMost of us would like to be more organized, more effective and more efficient. In fact most of us appreciate the benefits of someone else’s good planning and organization skills.
