Member You - Leadership v Management
I encourage customers to buy books directly from me by noting on my Web site that the books are personally signed by the author. Another author said that, although she didn't mean to offend, she didn't know why anyone would want my signature. After all, I'm not famous.Well, I didn't take offense at her observation. In fact, I was a little surprised by the phenomenon, too. The fact is that I get a lot of feedback from customers about how much they like getting an autographed book. They respond to the personal touch. Maybe they are hoping that I will become famous (or infamous!) one day, and they will be able to sell the book on eBay for a huge profit. Or maybe they just like the connection to an a

• Leadership is a state of personal awareness first and foremost.
If we are serious about success in an ever-expanding global business market we must first develop an attitude of personal integrity.
The business person that spends time honing their personal integrity will not only be successful in business but will find themself in a position of high regard and will be sought after by others for counsel on many topics.
Outside-In v Inside-Out
As we in Australia shift our focus away from the traditional markets in Europe and North America and begin to communicate more with our Asian counterparts, especially the Republic of China, we are faced with a dilemma.
The methods of doing business in regards to the perip
The time to start thinking about the ideal name for your new business is at the same time you start putting your business plan on paper. Yes, your business – no matter how small a start-up – should have a written business plan. But that’s another story for another day. For now, let’s look at the most important reason to pick just the right name for your business.If there’s one idea you want to carry with you always, particularly as you evaluate possible names for your business, it’s this: Perception is reality!.How would-be customers will think about your business starts with the impression its name creates in their mind. So think long and hard. Next, they’ll be impressed – or not – b
How we adapt to change will be one of the most determining factor in evaluating our successes or our failures.
• where we end up.
• who we end up with.
• and what we’ve got.
Change is never more apparent than in our personal development
- physical
- physiological
- mental.
• we are one time a son, to become a man, a father and on to grandfather as we proceed from infancy through to adult and old age
• we are born frail and weak – gaining in strength only to return to frailty and weakness again.
• from knowing nothing to - knowing everything and on to - knowing a little bit well. Or for the true seeker – to realize that in the end ‘we know nothing’.
In the business world there is also a hierarchical process of change as evidenced by those who become truly successful.
It is this writer’s observation that those who rise to spectacular heights in their business endeavours move through a state of management into one of leadership.
• from managing things to leading people.
In the process of making this exciting change it is necessary to move through 3 various states of dependency.
1. True dependency – as in an infants dependency on the mother.
2. Independence – like the state called ‘adolescence’
3. Interdependence – a state of mutual support in all aspects of endeavour – playing our part well in the operation of the whole.
• It is in the state of interdependence that the qualities necessary for true leadership emerge.
Management is the process of assuring that the program and objectives of the organization are implemented.
Leadership on the other hand, has to do with being a visionary and engaging others in the dream – exciting people and motivating them to perform to the best of their abilities.
• People are tired of being Managed
Richard Kerr states this in a most simple and humorous manner when he says:
- “People don’t want to be managed - They want to be led.
- Whoever heard of a world manager?
- World leader, yes.
- Education leader, yes.
Political leader - Religious leader - Scout leader - Community leader - Labour leader - Business leader – Yes!
- They lead.
- They don’t manage.
- The carrot always wins over the stick.
Ask your horse. You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t manage him to drink.
If you want to manage somebody, manage yourself.
Do that well and you’ll be ready to stop managing and start leading”.
John C. Maxwell, in his book ‘Develop the Leader Within You’ says that he remembers the words from the president of Hyatt Hotels:
- “If there is anything that I have learned in my 27 years in the service industry, it is this – 99% of all employees want to do a good job. How they perform is simply a reflection of the one for whom they work.’
• Leadership is a condition that can be acquired through applying principles.
• Leadership in business is developed not discovered.
Granted, some people are born with leadership qualities but most leaders develop their skills through:
- mentoring
- training and
- developing, dare I say it, self discipline.

They say that any organization, project, idea, or anything is only as strong as its weakest link. That is no more true than in the world of medical billing. The problem is, medical billing has so many weak links in its structure that it is a miracle that anything at all gets done. In this article, we take a look at just a few of these potential disaster areas.The biggest weak link in medical billing is the system itself. Oh, you can make all the arguments you want about how they're doing the best that they can with a system that was doomed to fail from the start but it doesn't change the fact that the medical billing process is a nightmare to begin with.Let's start with the billers.

There is a big misconception about medical billing and the people who do the billing. The layman thinks that these people have no special skills and are just your everyday run of the mill office person. This couldn't be further from the truth. A medical biller needs to be extremely sharp with all the rules and regulations attached to medical billing. And when it comes to billing oxygen claims, it is even more critical that the biller be on the top of his game. In this installment on medical billing and the electronic transmission of claims using NSF 3.01 specifications, we're going to continue with our review of one of the most complex CMNs in medical billing, the oxygen CMN, or GX0 record.

Have you ever been to a town or place when there is a huge sporting event happening, and have you noticed the lack of parking available? Well, what if you lived near one of those sporting events, or in the heart of the business district, even near shopping areas that don’t have enough parking available? If so, then did you know that you can make money from renting out your parking spot. Now don’t get me wrong, it has to be on your property such as your driveway, you can't rent out the street! If it is, then you can make money off of renting out your parking space. Just think, you can charge five dollars every day or event and the money can seriously add up.Just imagine, for every day you are

Most small business owners equate expenses with overhead items and capital expenditures such as buying a PC, notebook, printer, modem or version upgrade to Microsoft Office XP.

As we in Australia shift our focus away from the traditional markets in Europe and North America and begin to communicate more with our Asian counterparts, especially the Republic of China, we are faced with a dilemma.
The methods of doing business in regards to the peripherals
- Products
- Marketing
- Service
are the same everywhere - but the manner in which we approach business – the manner in which we communicate with our counterparts in the Asian market – well, now that’s a different kettle of fish.
We are faced with an oriental mind-set that has been shaped by a philosophy that is thousands of years old – a product of logic and manner that at times seems to be unfathomable to the western mind.
To come to grips and understand this difference in philosophy will require a shift in thinking – one that moves away from management toward the highly pro-active state of leadership.
I heard it many years ago and the words resound as strong to-day as then – You can tell a lot about a person by the books they read and the people that they associate with.
In other words, it’s time to go back to school and study – to learn how to become a person that commands respect and consequently, takes on the mantle of leadership.
A leader is best
When people barely know that he exists,
Not so good when people obey and acclaim him,
Worst when they despise him.
‘Fail to honour people,
They fail to honour you;’
But of a good leader, who talks little,
When his work is done, his aim fulfilled,
They will all say, ‘We did this ourselves.’
All the best in reaching your individual potential and if ‘leadership’ is your goal – don’t forget to look behind occasionally to see who is following.
