Here's a reminder. nospam@nospam.com (Eric Garner) Fri, 21 Sep 2007 11:00:00 +0400 http://articles.trainingnews.co.uk/articles/88/1/Meetings-or-Work---A-Modern-Dilemma.html What is it with business people and meetings? I’ve lost count of the mundane, ineffective and downright pointless meetings that I have had the misfortune to attend so far this year. If one more person drags me half way across the country to attend a meeting about the meeting before it I’m pretty sure I will throw myself out of the meeting room window. nospam@nospam.com (Andrew Wood) Mon, 23 Jul 2007 11:00:00 +0400 http://articles.trainingnews.co.uk/articles/80/1/Achieving-Your-Goals---Keeping-things-on-track.html Apparently when riding the underground people look up at the map and check their progress on average every 40 seconds. Most of these people know exactly where they are going and when they will get there, so why do they do it? I suspect the answer has a lot to do with the need to track advancement and ensure that they are indeed reaching their destination, which is a bit strange considering they are on a rail and the likelihood of them not getting there is pretty much zero. nospam@nospam.com (Andrew Wood) Mon, 25 Jun 2007 11:00:00 +0400 http://articles.trainingnews.co.uk/articles/79/1/Understanding-Peoples-Behaviour---Banging-your-head-against-a-wall-.html I just came home to find my 13 month old son giggling loudly to himself whilst banging his head against the living room wall. My immediate response was to say, "Son, you're an idiot." and only once I'd managed to distract him from this pain inducing activity did I consider the possible consequences of my words. nospam@nospam.com (Andrew Wood) Mon, 25 Jun 2007 11:00:00 +0400 http://articles.trainingnews.co.uk/articles/78/1/Team-focus---How-to-re-set-the-sights.html I was at a training event recently and during the opening 'set the scene' intro the senior director in the company asked the group to list all the things that were stopping them providing a good service to their customers. nospam@nospam.com (Andrew Wood) Mon, 25 Jun 2007 11:00:00 +0400 http://articles.trainingnews.co.uk/articles/70/1/Leadership----Lets-Talk-About-Emotional-Competence.html Old ways of doing business no longer work: the increasingly intense competitive challenges of the world economy challenge everyone, everywhere, to adapt in order to prosper under new rules. nospam@nospam.com (Jonathan Farrington) Wed, 21 Feb 2007 11:00:00 +0300 http://articles.trainingnews.co.uk/articles/67/1/The-Five-Main-Drivers-For-Improvement-Within-An-Organisation.html Change is continuous and will become more rapid as we move forward over time. Senior management must be capable of reacting to those changes and be prepared to take advantage of them and yet stay within the overall framework and agreed strategy. nospam@nospam.com (Jonathan Farrington) Fri, 02 Feb 2007 11:00:00 +0300 http://articles.trainingnews.co.uk/articles/65/1/The-Signs-That-Should-Tell-You--Your-Small-Business-May-Heading-For-Trouble.html The following ten questions will help you to determine if your business is the lean mean fighting machine you believed, or a bed-ridden sick note, coughing and spluttering its way on a wobbly pair of last legs. nospam@nospam.com (Jonathan Farrington) Wed, 13 Dec 2006 11:00:00 +0300 http://articles.trainingnews.co.uk/articles/60/1/Leading-and-Motivating.html It’s been said that “Leadership is not what you do, but who you are.” This, however, is only partially true. Leadership is very much who you are, but it cannot be divorced from what you do. Who you are represents the inner person, and what you do represents the outer person. Each is dependent on the other for maximum effectiveness. nospam@nospam.com (Brian Tracy) Mon, 06 Nov 2006 11:00:00 +0300
