Normally most of the leaders(managers) are smart enough to save their position when a problem seen. They are much capable to convience the board about the inefficiency of subordinates and terminate them so that their position become more stronger.

I agreed with your comments because now a days the word recession is like a fashion word. Most of the companies are taking advantage of this word. But in my hotel I am very strict on my product rates. And till now I am doing better than last year.

Delegating is an important feature of leadership. If it is not done and a person does the job alone, he is a performer and not a leader. Delegation and team focus are good characteristics of a leadership. More and more delegation would be a...

Despite the tough economy, many companies are still enjoying great successes. Executive and leadership coach John McKee shares some ideas you can use to build a more successful organization. Depending on the news you hear, it may seem like this economy is still going downhill or perhaps the bottom has finally been reached. But either way, there’s no doubt that more organizations are going to fail before we’re truly moving continually forward again. However, while many organizations struggle, there are still great success stories out there. Leaders who see opportunities where others see roadblocks generally lead those operations. Not coincidently, their teams are usually both more positive a...

Key leadership ideas 1.Leaders shape the future. Leaders bring change and leaders challenge the status quo. If there is no need for change, there is no need for leadership. 2.Leadership is a choice. Leadership does not just happen. Leadership is a choice we make to live our a vision and purpose daily. 3.Leaders are made and not born. Leaders know who they are, understand their unique purpose, strengths and skills. They use who they are to bring their vision into the present. 4.Leaders live their vision. They become the change that they want to see in the world. They set the example and show the way. 5.Leaders incite conversation. Leadership is about making a difference and driving change wh...

Zuckerberg Named One of 10 Worst-Dressed Men Hi Friends.... Time magazine coverboy and billionaire Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has been named one of the 10 worst-dressed guys of 2010 by Esquire magazine. When Esquire was putting together its “2010 Celebrity Style Hall of Shame” list, it didn’t have to look far in the tech world to find plenty of candidates. Mark was easy prey to Esquire‘s critical eye, given his high profile and simple wardrobe. What’s the matter with the way he dresses, anyway? We don’t mind that casual look, and if a billionaire CEO has a closet full of exactly the same shirt and pants (we’re looking at you, Steve Jobs), who are we to say he can’t wear them? It makes him comfortable, and after all, getting away with wearing a T-shirt to a black-tie event means you’re one powerful dude. All this attention to Mark’s wardrobe made us want to look for visual evidence. So here’s a gallery of the various outfits he’s been spotted wearing. You might be surprised...
