Starting Back Up On The Road Again!!

Whether or not you agree with the reopening of the economies in your state or country, it seems to be a coming reality. Ultimately that means that at some point now or in the future, you will probably begin to be back on the road again. Zoom'ing may exist but those who have worked in most businesses, know that being able to look your client in the eye is still the best way to do business.

So, in preparation of being back on the road, the following article appeared in the Wall Street Journal on cleaning your hotel room. Now most of us would think that the hotel would do that; some will do a great job, some will do an average job and some will do a sub-par job. We all at one time or another have been in a 4 or 5 star hotel and still found a situation of less than the cleanliness we expected.

So to provide you with some thoughts on this subject, I thought this article was timely.

You must be the judge of what to do or not. It seems from some of the stories of the suffering people have been going through during the Covid crisis, I personally would prefer to be on the safe side and follow this advice as well as may safety on an airplane, train or bus. Be Safe, be healthy and be sane.

BIG BROTHER OR NOT????? WILL THESE TOOLS HELP YOUR PRODUCTIVITY??

The Wall Street Journal had a tremendous lead-off piece on their "Journal Report" this week on Monday, April 2, 2012. It was entitled "Employees, Measure Yourselves." The introductory picture for this article needs to be seen to be understood, so I have included the link and the article below, but as part of the picture in the newspaper version, 5 questions are asked as part of the picture, that are NOT included in the picture below as part of the digitized version. These questions are: "How much time do I spend on Facebook? How's my pulse when I get close to a deadline? How often am I distracted? Does my work improve when I sleep better? Do I get more done if I exercise before work?" All great questions which we would want to know if we are interested in our productivity. I know I certainly would. The article when you read it goes on to point out that there are software tools available right now that can

Oh, My Goodness, is it Affect or Effect?

Oh, My Goodness, is it Affect or Effect?? You know it's got to be good when an article is originally written for and posted from Entrepreneur.com and then is reposted to a Harvard Business Review blog. From there it is posted to a LinkedIn.com blog and then to my humble publication. But here it is, a really good piece by Travis Bradberry, the award-winning co-author of the best selling book, "Emotional Intelligence 2.0", entitled "10 Misused Words That Make Smart People Look Stupid." We all have a tendency to throw words around. They can be big words, important words and many times they are not terribly important words that we run amuck with like--affect or effect. Bradberry's article and the points he makes in regard to today's millennial's are just as valid as they are with many of today's senior executives as with new hires. We've lost our ability to be as articulate as we once were. This occurs in the written as well as the spo
