    Labor, Lies, And Layoffs: The Logical Fallacies of Letting People Go

    Labor, Lies, And Layoffs: The Logical Fallacies of Letting People Go

    Layoffs: A necessary evil in the world of business Unwanted necessity. A last resort. A necessary evil in the world of business. These are some of the labels that justify the choice to layoff dozens if not hundreds, or even, thousands of employees. These phrases do not do the justice of adequately expressing the amount of incompetence that goes into mismanaging a business. As blunt and ugly – and even polarizing – as this truth may be, it is up to leadership at all levels to

    The 3P Plan To Starting A New Job Like An Insider

    Whether we’ve landed a promotion at our current company or are starting a new job at a new company or relocated to a new job there is always an element of anxiety about how successful we’ll end up being. I help companies coach their employees during a time called onboarding. It’s a fancy, HR term for the process during which a new employee develops the behaviors and gathers the skills to become an insider. I help new recruits focus on the first three, critical months by setti

    Culture Eats Strategy For Breakfast

    If there is anything the action sports industry is known for, it’s the culture. It’s a culture that builds a lifestyle around breaking boundaries and taking the unconventional route to the top. While all companies employ basic business principles, it’s a company’s culture that sets it apart and brings its brand spirit to life. Which, for Malakye, leads me to examine why employees make their career decisions based on company culture and how company culture affects the bottom l

    Management Tip: Slow Down Your Thinking

    Management Tip: How To Slow Down Your Thinking To Create New Opportunities When coaching executives there is a common theme that I observe about most of them: they’re fast. They’re fast thinkers, fast movers, and they’re fast at producing results; That’s the world of business, isn’t it? The issue I notice is that this special type of person can be frustrated when others can’t keep up with their train of thought; there’s a lot of interrupting that goes on. I understand how thi

    Where To Next? Overcoming The Creative Plateaus of Innovative Leaders

    How To Overcome Creative Plateaus “I’ve come this far and now people are depending me to lead and point them into the future. I’m not really sure where we’re going.” This is a common issue I face with business leaders, especially the creative innovators, who are responsible for directing and driving their companies into the right direction – the question, inevitably, is which direction? When a leader has done good for so long and is then faced with vicissitude or challenge, i

    How To Screw Up A Resume – And How Not To – Part 2

    See Part 1 of this post. Grammar and Spelling Errors Galore Of course, this one is a standard in How To Write Resumes literature, but it’s an often ignored and underestimated aspect of writing a successful resume. In this student’s resume, it was riddled with grammar and spelling errors; too many in that it was unforgivable. Sure, this resume was in the student’s second language, but he is an MBA and should know better than to pass off shoddy work. The problem with poor gramm

    How To Screw Up A Resume – And How Not To – Part 1

    Oh Lord. Seriously Lord, help me. This month, I saw one of the worst resumes in the past six years of professionally writing and consulting on resumes. I’d seen some bad ones over the years but we always managed to turn them around, but a student’s resume just took the cake for me and his attitude about it made it even worse. It was so shockingly bad, I couldn’t resist showing it to other professionals for their opinions. Here’s why: Bad Design When I saw this resume with gia

    5 Mistakes Online Job Seekers Make

    I am in the process of looking for an employee to help my family. I posted the advert on an employment website that links seekers with job providers. I posted a very clear and straightforward job posting with my desired personality traits, educational background, and job details. I made it extremely easy for applicants to read and respond to knowing how some job listings are vague and easy to misunderstand. After the job listing was approved, the applicants came pouring in. T

    Have you noticed after a friend or colleague asks for help and you agree or have followed through with your part, they fall off the face of the map? Time goes on and still no follow-up.
