Quality is primarily viewed in terms of corporate culture,
multi-departmental ad-hoc task forces and the salvation of entire
companies. This article, instead, will view these ideas as they might be
applied by a Team Leader with a small permanent staff.
Quality has become the philosophers' stone of management practice with consultants and gurus vying to charm lead-laden corporations into gold-winning champions. Stories abound of base companies with morose workers and mounting debts being transformed into happy teams and healthy profits; never a day goes by without a significant improvement, a pounds-saving suggestion or a quantum leap in efficiency. With this professed success of "Quality" programmes, there has evolved a proscriptive mythology of correct practice which has several draw backs:
The edicts call for nothing less than a company wide, senior-management led programme.
The adherence to a single formula has a limited effect, precludes innovation outside these boundaries, and reduces the differentiation which such ...

STANFORD,
Calif. -- Recent research at Stanford Business School finds that diversity
among employees can generate better performance when it comes to
out-of-the-ordinary creative tasks.
Today's corporations are built around groups that must find answers to novel
and complicated business issues. These teams bring together diverse groups
of people who incorporate a variety of backgrounds, ideas and personalities.
The Stanford Business School's Margaret Neale, the John G. McCoy-Banc One
Corp. Professor of Organizations and Dispute Resolution, and her colleagues
have developed a rich body of research on diversity.
Diversity is... Well, Diverse
People tend to think of diversity as simply demographic, a matter of color, gender or age. However, groups can be disparate in many ways. Diversity is also based on informational differences, reflecting a person's education and experience, as well as on values or goals that can influence what one perceives to be the mission of something ...

Existing
training isn't working well
You have training programs, but your managers aren't getting it. They
may be decent managers, but they're stuck in their style and not coming
close to realizing their potential. Some are demanders who boss people
around and lose their employee's ideas and motivation. Some are trying
to be their employees' friend when they should be setting priorities and
deadlines. Over the years, they get more entrenched in their ways. How
can you reach them to make the changes they need to be more effective?
Perhaps you've tried personality tests such as the Myers-Briggs
personality profiles or communication-style tests that classify people
into one of four types. These tests generate interest and insight, but
the information learned is not directly focused on the managerial
relationship; they deal with the whole personality or general
communication style. If managers are motivated to make some changes,
they are usually temporary.
My Framework - Managers Can Learn to Relate and Require
There's a new way to train managers, and it's simpler and more
effective. There are two sets of skills that are vital and fundamental
to managing. If a manager has both sets, he or she will naturally do
most of the things you want your managers to do.
The first set of skills is the ability to "relate" to one's employees.
It's manifested by the ability ...

The
tradition of the New Year's Resolutions goes all the way back to 153
B.C. Janus, a mythical king of early Rome was placed at the head of the
calendar. With two faces, Janus could look back on past events and
forward to the future. Janus became the ancient symbol for resolutions
and many Romans looked for forgiveness from their enemies and also
exchanged gifts before the beginning of each year. Traditionally! Before
the new year starts we have to make amends for the mistakes of the last
year, before we venture in to the new one….
The
foreboding of a new year starts a week before its emergence. I try to
avoid thinking about it until the very last day of the year surfaces. I
attempt to calm this uneasiness with a few questions. 
As
I go along the path of these questions, I do not realize that I am still
relying on the forces outside of me for revelation. None of these are
inclined towards the efforts I need to make for the year to be better
than the last one. 
How
many times have we actually written down our resolutions. They are
usually little notes in the corner of our mind which fade away as the
daily crises of our life take over. How about being different this year
and actually sit alone to reflect on the life ahead. What areas of my
life are out of balance? Should I just ponder over a few or should I
at-least make a SWOT of all the zones of my life?

A
'hearty handshake' is the description often given to greetings in
Guatemala. But this does not necessarily mean a strong, firm grip.
Latins tend toward a more gentle grip than practiced by North
Americans and some Europeans. Close male friends will also greet
with an abrazo, accompanied by patting the back. Close female
friends will hug lightly and brush cheeks as if kissing.
