"Well Dave, here's how it is. Thanks to Oracle, we have most of the parts we need for all of the products. However, we don’t have all of the parts we need for any of the products."That quote came from the Director of Purchasing regarding the new Oracle system the company had just implemented. Honesty was long overdue. We were working in a $500 million dollar tech outfit at the time, when the VP of Op's flew into town to stop the riot. He was going to set everyone straight and tell us straight up ‘how it was’.He started the meeting with this gem."I've heard all the noise in the system. I've checked it out. And I want you to know it stops today! Oracle is our system, it works fine and this is the end of it."We all wished he was right. But he was about as right a

Workshops are serious business. Businesses love hosting workshops just to be able to say they provide continuing education. Speakers across the nation have jumped on the workshop bandwagon trying to become the next great guru.Anyone with valuable information or notable skills should run a successful workshop. You should because, even though workshops are sprouting up all over the place, there still aren’t enough to accommodate everyone. But in order for you to conduct a successful workshop that means something to you, you have to avoid a few mistakes others make.Avoid Mixed SignalsIf you conduct a certain workshop, it should fit your profile. You can’t tell men about being loyal to women if you cheat. You can’t conduct inspiring workshops if you are depressed.

Rob hangs around when others are talking, always lingers a little after meetings, and just starts talking when people are working. His game is to get people talking whether they want to talk or not.Once people are talking, he jumps in or says something like, 'I could not help hearing what you were talking about.' Of course, he could help it. He made a point to hear. Nonetheless, he now expresses his opinion. Whatever the topic, he has an opinion.His opinion is that things are a mess. He thinks things should be handled better. In fact, the company is going to the dogs. Why? Everyone - except him - is incompetent and does not know what he/she is doing. Adding, 'I have said this before but….' is a master touch.Here is the key to the technique. If someone asks Rob for hi

It is easier to walk through life with the attitude of Positive Intent.Positive Intent means you approach everything with the thought process in place that no matter what, there will be a positive ending to whatever you are doing.This is akin to stepping up to the plate with the thought process of “I am here to put the ball in play”.You are assuming that putting the ball in play will start a positive chain of events. If the ball is hit on the ground, perhaps it will scoot between two fielders and roll into the outfield for a hit. If the ball is hit in the air, perhaps it will travel between the reach of the outfielders and roll all the way to the wall, maybe even resulting in an extra bases hit. Even if the ball is caught and the batter is thrown out, he still acco

As a manager many years ago when faced with my first challenge of selecting an external consultant, I found myself all at sea. Fortunately for me, I intuitively hit two of the three selection targets. The project was to produce a communication video, so it was relatively easy to see and compare what each consultant had previously produced. I had a number of consultants to choose from, but finally chose the one that I felt most comfortable with and whose work impressed me most. The project was succesful and in the process, I learned a lot.Since that time, I have had to employ a number of consultants, I have been a consultant myself for almost 20 years, and I have worked with many other consultancies both large and small. The following suggestions for selecting a consultant are
Any applicable precautions - for safe handling and use, including appropriate hygienic practices.

Emergency and first aid procedures.
The date of preparation of the MSDS - or the last change to it.
The name, address, and telephone number - of the chemical manufacturer, importer, employer or other responsible party preparing or distributing the MSDS who can provide any additional information.
Employers must maintain - copies of the required MSDS for each hazardous chemical in the workplace, and shall ensure that they are readily accessible during each work shift to employees when they are in their work area[s].
Note: The recommended procedure on each jobsite is to keep a copy of all MSDS’s of the materials on that jobsite, bound in a three-ring binder with your written "HazCom" program and a List of Chemicals- with MSDS’s added to it when a new hazardous substance is introduced. This will insure tha
