Lessons That You Could Learn the Easy Way

In business and in life, there are generally two ways to learn just about anything: see what has happened to those who have gone before and absorb the lessons, or learn the hard way, by taking a loss and recovering. Each lesson offers new opportunities, and each mistake might close a door that would be better left open.

Why Adapting to Technology is the Key to Raising Productivity

Productivity means almost everything. When a business can produce and accomplish more with the same or fewer number of employees, profitability skyrockets as competitiveness soars.

The foundation for this approach is in the bone-deep understanding that you are not just correcting behavior, you are helping a person grow and become a better version of themselves. Remember, you hired them for a reason. Don’t allow a mistake to obscure that.

Arnold Tired of Hearing About Donald

One of the constant proverbial pokes in the eye this past campaign season has been that Donald Trump is “nothing more than a reality TV star.” Now, the veracity of that statement can be easily challenged, but that didn’t stop the political left from making hay with that line of argument multiple times.

Trump, for his part, made a point to repeat, ad nauseum, his insistence that going forward, he would have nothing to do with The Apprentice, the reality show in question. That role would now belong to movie star and former California governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger. But this did little to deter naysayers and late night comics enjoying their dig at The Donald.

Let go of what you want to work and embrace what actually can work to get you where you want to be.

Has your nonprofit answered these key questions?

Markets always change, that’s the real constant. And those shifts, whether they be motivated by economics, consumer moods or another factor, impact nonprofit organizations as well. Sometimes, these factors hit charity organizations sooner … and harder.
