Building and maintaining solid business relationships is the key to success, but how can you legitimately escape the tense office environment and spend dedicated time getting to know a customer, client or boss on a personal level?Business Golf, once the domain of the executive elite is now accessible for anyone wishing to create and strengthen business relationships in a relaxed atmosphere. In fact, according to a 2002 COMPAS Leader Poll, “business leaders use golf as an important tool in doing business and say that it is extremely remunerative; for each dollar they spend on golf they earn over $1500 in business revenue as a result.

• Be clear about areas of agreement and disagreement
• Ask little and get it, rather than a lot and be turned down

Unfair dismissal happens when an employer dismisses their employee but in doing so breaks their legal rights. The employer can do this either by dismissing them for the wrong reasons or by not following the correct procedure; but fortunately there are laws to protect those who have been unfairly dismissed. If an Employment Tribunal finds that someone was dismissed unfairly they will receive compensation.However before considering an unfair dismissal tribunal it’s important to understand when an employer can fire someone fairly. It’s never nice to get the sack but you do need to make sure that you are in the right in the eyes of the law before pu
Those who:
• Covertly disagree
• Openly disagree
• Comply – reluctantly
• Remain undecided
• Have insufficient information
• Are not able to see a need
• Need to think it over
• Consider it the wrong time
• Have to refer the decision to others
You will need a different strategy depending on what stage the person to be influenced is at. Be realistic about your chances – it is unlikely that others will move from open disagreement to active support. The best you may achieve is to move them to neutral. But that’s victory!
Covert Disagreement
‘Well, Ok, if that’s what you want.’
Thinks to self: ‘What a load of nonsense – I’m not doing that.’
These people are actively working against you. Gently transform their energy into a willingness to talk openly about their concerns. Once you have done this, you can then:
• Work to build rapport and a positive relationship
• Stress areas of agreement before moving onto areas of disagreement
• Use humour and positive anecdotes
• Meet regularly to develop a working relationship
• Respect their position, promote your own
Open Disagreement
‘Hmm – it might be possible, but I doubt it…’
People who disagree need time to come around to your way of thinking.
• Support your statements with proof and evidence
• Use statistics and numbers accurately and appropriately; avoid trickery
• Be clear about areas of agreement and disagreement
• Ask little and get it, rather than a lot and be turned down
• Demonstrate ways in which you understand their viewpoint
• Show that you seek a win-win outcome

Be careful what you wish for business ownership is hard work. Is there an easy way? Many very successful people in the corporate world are chosen for important assignments and projects at work. They then get frustrated, while trying to become an entrepreneur on the side, they feel that they are too busy working at the corporation to get anywhere in a business of their own.To those who feel this way, I say to you; “and you of course know you should be careful what you wish for.” You see the reality is that there is no easy way..."They lied to us" you see? Or we lied to ourselves. But the freedom to pursue happiness indeed is a great gift, but too

I was driving home last week and it seemed that the traffic was a bit heavier than usual. As I watched the cars weaving in and out of traffic, changing lanes, some taking the off ramp and others merging into the traffic, I thought how incredible it was.....I mean here were all these people, driving at top speed, going in every direction, zigging and zagging, slowing, speeding up and passing and it was amazing that we did not kill one another. It was almost like dancing or figure skating, as though it had been choreographed. But we were all strangers who would probably never see one another again. How then was it possible for each to know the oth

If your company does not take a vigorous approach to eliminating workplace violence, you could find yourself guilty, if not of negligent hiring, then certainly of failing to protect your workforce from aggressive and violent behavior. This type of violence can be very costly in terms of lost hours and even the loss of valued employees who decide that enough is enough.Payments for damages and legal costs can be very high, and these can be mitigated somewhat by courts that see that you have adopted a zero-tolerance policy and are working hard to make the workplace a safer environment for your employees. This type of policy must commence at the e

Do you have something that you want to sell? How about an opportunity that you want to share with the rest of the world? If so, there are many ways that you can get your point across. But before you can persuade people to buy from you or join what you are offering, you need to consider how you are going to advertise. There are quite a few methods for doing this, and all of them offer benefits as well as drawbacks. One of the first things that you will want to consider is what free advertising has to offer. As you can imagine, there are quite a few benefits that will be offered to you if you decide to rely on free advertising.First off, the major
