Answer Upon - Business Cultures Old & New
If you like to plan your day the night before, you are ahead of the crowd. But for the rest of us, planning is a general thing that will simply consist of a list of items to be accomplished. The list is tackled in an importance order and interruptions take a toll of what happens. In my office, I like to get in early to out my routine in order. Unfortunately, I do not always get the quiet time as I have a colleague that also comes in early and likes to talk about what he is doing (and he interrupts every 3 or 4 minutes or so). So how can you plan your day without worrying abou
Don't help other departments: If other parts of the organisation fare badly, then your unit is more secure. If you have an idea that would improve another section of the business you must keep it to your self. Isn't that the only way of preserving your unit and ensuring the survival of your job?

Schizophrenic patients suffer split personalities, characterised by withdrawal from reality and behavioural disturbances. Management needs to have very sharp and emphatic focus rather than become schizophrenic.It does not take very long to mess up a company especially when the focus of the key management is muddled. Just a couple of months should do the job. All it takes is for you take on some loss-making projects and contracts, neglect collecting your debts and allow excess inventory to build up. You need to remain even more level-headed during problematic times.<

Work hard & don't have a good time: People in your business are there for only 1 thing; work. They are not there to socialise, romance or have a good time. They receive the legal requirements & no more in relation to holidays, pensions etc. Due to this rigid culture, staff do not interact & new ideas are not forthcoming. They refuse to think about work at home & most hate the senior people in their organisation.
Dress code: All units have their own dress code so that managers, administrators, sales, cleaners etc. are all easily identified. Managers must wear a suit and tie even if the office is melting on an exceptionally warm day.
Be seen to be busy: They spend a lot of time looking busy, even when their workload is light, just in case their boss throws more tasks their way. You will often notice them moving fast in the corridor with a clipboard in hand, even if they are going to the toilet!
Make sure you spend your budget: If their department has a budget, they ensure that it's totally used up before the next allocation, so that it is not cut in the future. They will claim that the budget is restrictive and hampers their efforts.
Don't mingle: The sales staff will not mingle with the cleaners, whilst the mangers do not sit at the same table as the administrators!
Don't ask questions: Most people in the organisation do not question the way of working just in case it jeopordises their own position, even if they know a way of working that would be more beneficial to their business.

Passion comes in many forms. I’m focused on the version of passion that is “boundless enthusiasm”. Looking up enthusiasm in the dictionary, I learned it is derived from the Greek root entheos, which means inspired by god. Hmmm, boundless inspiration by god! When’s the last time you experienced your work or career that way? Not lately? Never? Read on!As a Boy Scout leader, one skill we teach our scouts is starting and feeding a fire. It’s a pretty simple recipe – tinder, kindling, fuel and a catalyst to get the fire started. Tinder has two parts – somethin

Make sure you have solid foundations.Have you ever seen a skyscraper being built?The first thing they do to build it is to dig down.It’s a little strange to see, but it makes sense if you think about it.By digging down and making sure all the foundations are in place, and making sure they are rock solid… the building can then reach up towards the sky.Without the rock solid foundations the building could topple and crash to the ground.Unfortunately that’s what happens to some businesses.Some owners neglect, ignore or are ignorant of some

The internet has somewhat opened up a can of worms when it comes to finding the best small business ideas.See, on one side we have thousands of pages of information on just about any business idea you can think about. But on the other side, if you listen to these marketers and authors...just about every idea under the sun is fool-proof and becoming wealthy as a business owner is just about certain and failure impossible.The thing is, there are too many folks out there on the internet selling hope when what you're often getting is a bag of goods.The hope that you c

THE GOLDEN RULE, do you believe in applying it to your cattle deals? And if not do you sleep well at night?I believe it may be the origin of or relates to the true meaning of what our forefathers had reference to when they came up with the idea of what is referred to as a HAND SHAKE CATTLE DEAL. Have you applied it to your cattle deals? If not, I challenge you to give it a try; it has worked for many others.The golden rule is endorsed in most all regions of the world. And for many centuries the idea has been influential among people of very diverse cultures. These facts

Cultures need to evolve: Cultures need to evolve with the times, as younger, hungrier companies enter the market place. They are likely to be more dynamic and prepared for new opportunities that beckon.
Cultural revolution: The old rules have all been dumped by many of the fastest growing companies in the world. Businesses like Microsoft & Pixar have abandoned the old ways of working.
Flexi Time: You work the hours that are convenient to you. You are trusted and this makes you feel empowered. Suddenly staff take their work home with them even though they have worked far more hours then they are supposed to.
No dress code: Managers are often seen wearing jeans & tee-shirts! It becomes harder to distinguish who does what. Staff mingle with each other freely and no longer have the "us and them" attitude. Romance at the work place is no longer frowned upon.
Free sharing of ideas: By freely sharing ideas & innovations the business prospers leading to higher benefits as a percentage of profits are allocated to better working conditions and bonuses.
You are judged on results: People are judged on performance and results, not how busy they seem to be! No longer is it the right of a senior manger that when his son enters the organisation it is automatically assumed that he will take over when the manager eventually retires.
Education is encouraged: The business contributes to helping their staff become more qualified. Isn't the business only as good as its weakest link?
Offices should be comfortable: Offices are climate controlled and encourage staff to feel comfortable. No longer are meetings confined to boardrooms. You are just as likely to have a meeting outside the office, as you are in the canteen.
Technological revolution: With the advent of new technology you can work from anywhere. No longer do you have to "clock in". Meetings can be done over video links via the Inte
