Leadership Paradigm Change

admin — Mon, 18 Mar 2013 18:31:33 +0000

Organizations today thrive on relationships and most relationships are guided by interactions among people. Guidance involves being lead, and the importance of leadership is connected with organizations achieving long term success. WIKIPEDIA, the free encyclopedia, defines leadership as: “the process of social influence in which one person is able to enlist the aid and support of others in the accomplishment of a common task.”

Practicing High Performance

admin — Mon, 18 Mar 2013 18:26:39 +0000

While many training and consulting companies across the United States concentrate on improving employees’ technical skills and daily processes, 360Solutions has a vision different from the rest. Our goal is to prove that no amount of technical training and benefits can motivate and empower employees like human developmental training. Essentially, the distinction is our emphasis on the model for the high performance business, rather than the traditional model that has dominated the business world for so many years.

High Performance Teams

admin — Mon, 18 Mar 2013 18:23:26 +0000

Just as the 1988 General Motors ad declared “It’s not your father’s Oldsmobile,” the same could be said about challenges today’s businesses face.

Business has changed dramatically in the last few years. Economic conditions, environmental concerns, globalization and technology have affected all aspects of how small and large companies operate.

For many organizations, these challenges can be the tipping point that ends a low functioning team.

Conversely, a challenging business environment can be the opportunity to transform a work group into a high performance team.

Employee Engagement

admin — Mon, 18 Mar 2013 18:13:31 +0000

Establishing and strengthening emotional bonds between the organization and employees is not a new concept by any means. It goes without saying, today’s marketplace is extremely competitive. Strategic advantages that set one organization apart from another are hard to come by. However, one unique factor every organization possesses is its employees with their unique backgrounds and personal experiences. Whether or not an organization embraces this strength is a separate issue altogether. Employees can be a company’s greatest asset. It has been proven time and time again that investing in the recruiting, development and retention of these assets provides exponential returns…

Five Dimensions of Trust

btodd — Mon, 18 Mar 2013 17:44:33 +0000

Trust has long been part of the underpinnings of society and it is used and abused in the business world. Even though trust is a key aspect of relationships, it is misunderstood or mismanaged in many companies — leading to serious consequences over time.

In the workplace, trust is fundamental to effective communication. Without it employees may feel uncertain, worried, insecure. Management may find it difficult to make constructive and needed changes to the enterprise. Vendors and third party partners cycle through a revolving door, causing stops and starts to your operations as new relationships must be set up and old ones must be let go…

The High Cost of Poor Communication

admin — Sun, 17 Mar 2013 18:40:54 +0000

Many employers believe the ability to communicate effectively is an essential job skill, even going so far as listing it in their job requirements. Recent surveys, however, reveal that communication is still an unresolved issue for many companies. SIS International Research discovered that 70% of small to mid-size businesses claim that ineffective communication is their primary problem. Communication issues are not just annoying; they are also costly. A business with 100 employees spends an average downtime of 17 hours a week clarifying communication. This translates to an annual cost of $ 528,443. It is not possible to underestimate the importance of effective communication skills, especially at the managerial level.

The Hiring Game

admin — Sun, 17 Mar 2013 18:37:24 +0000

The Department of Labor recently reported that over 5 million people have been laid off since 2007, and the unemployment rate is currently up to 8.9%. With so many looking for work, employers might think that the best candidates will magically materialize. The hiring process, however, is one of the most important processes a leader will face. It is essential to invest the time, effort, and capital necessary to build an effective staff. A recent survey in Harvard Business Review shows there is little uniformity in the hiring practices of many business executives. Unfortunately, with no basic course of action outlined, they rely on chance and instinct to fill positions. Without a clear strategy, qualified employees are difficult to attract and retain.

When Change Goes Wrong

admin — Sat, 16 Mar 2013 18:44:53 +0000

The financial cost of ineffectively managing change cannot be overlooked, especially in the current economic climate. Change is not the exception now days, but an ongoing inevitable process. Poorly managed change in the workplace leads to stress which, in turn, creates poor job performance, more absenteeism and increased employee turnover. A recent survey by the American Psychological Association revealed that 74% of Americans identified work as the main cause of their stress; this is a 15% increase over the year before. Over half of the participants acknowledged that stress negatively affects their job performances. They also admitted that the mental and physical manifestations of stress caused them to leave or consider leaving positions. Forty-eight percent of employers surveyed recognized the problem, but only 5% were addressing the issue. Companies large and small must recognize the need for change management because the costs are high.

Fresh Perspectives vs. Critiques

admin — Fri, 15 Mar 2013 18:48:05 +0000

The business training and consulting industry is evolving. Traditionally, the industry has been mainly called upon to handle issues with toxic leaders. Currently, 48% of the business is devoted to facilitating transitions and developing employees. The reason for this is simple; companies are forced to make changes in order to survive the current economic trend, and they need help.
