    Procurement Process
    Procurement is the acquisition of goods or commodities by a company, organization, institution, or a person. This simply means the purchase of goods from suppliers at the lowest possible cost. The best way to do this is to let the suppliers compete with each other so that the expenses of the buyer are kept at a minimum.Procurement usually involves a bidding process in which the bidders or sellers quote their prices and the buyer accepts the lowest possible bid. This is the most efficient and cost effe

    Negotiating Skills: How to Obtain the Salary You Want
    Salary negotiating is an important topic that must be addressed prior to your initial interview with a prospective employer. Knowing your bottom rate, and being able to live with it [or on it?] is an important thing for candidates to uncover before the first interview. Why then do so many of us make the tactical mistake and go to the interview unprepared?One of the first mistakes – a real killer – is to tip your hand too early in the interview process on what you will accept for a salary. Many intervi
    "Your life is the sum result of all the choices you make, both consciously and unconsciously. If you can control the process of choosing, you can take control of all aspects of your life. You can find the freedom that comes from being in charge of yourself." — Robert Bennett, U.S. Senator

    Accepting responsibility for choices starts with understanding where our choices lie. This idea is wonderfully framed by the timeless wisdom of the ancient Serenity Prayer:

    God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, The courage to change the things I can, And the wisdom to know the difference.

    Each line represents an important step in growing our leadership. Consider the first – an invocation to "grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change."

    There is a long list of things we as leaders can't control, but may have a major impact on our organizations. These include economic and political trends, technological changes, shifts in consumer preferences and market trends, as well as catastrophes wrought by human beings (war, terrorism) and so-called "Acts of God," such as hurricanes or tornadoes.

    Special Lubrication And High Performance Lubricants
    Special Lubrication is applied between two moving surfaces to reduce the friction and wear between them. The purpose of these special lubricants is to replace dry friction with either thin-film or fluid-film friction, depending on the load, speed, or intermittent action of the moving parts. Thin-film lubrication, in which there is some contact between the moving parts, usually is specified where heavy loads are a factor. In fluid, or thick-film, lubrication a pressure film is formed between moving surfaces a

    Start Your E-Zine Right - 5 Questions to Ask Yourself before You Begin
    Congratulations! You’ve decided to publish an ezine. But where do you begin? As with anything, at the beginning.Before you write your first word there are some decisions you need to make. Ask yourself these 5 questions:1.What is the topic of your ezine?This may seem like a silly question if you are far enough along in the process that you know you want to publish an ezine, but you would be surprised how many ezines are out there that seem to have no solid topic. They seem to be there for

    Marketing Yourself In An Indifferent World
    You are a business. You are the president of your own personal services corporation. If a business is going to grow and prosper it must market itself, and you are no different. We are living today in an indifferent global market that is more competitive than at any time in history.The world doesn’t care who succeeds and who fails. It plays no favorites. To be successful today you must be able to identify and then market all of your unique talents and abilities to the world. You must have clear and con

    Understanding the Power of Your Power Network
    It is said that “it’s not what you know, but who you know that counts”. I believe that “it is what you know that will give your head start, who you know that will get you going, who knows you (and your products or services) that will help you succeed, but what you do with your knowledge and relationships that will make you succeed.”So, stop thinking that you can do it all. You can’t. There are not enough hours in the day for you to do everything. Stop thinking that you are irreplaceable or that no one

The poet Longfellow offers great leadership counsel about how to handle these non-controllables when he says, "the best thing one can do when it is raining is to let it rain." Pretty solid advice!

    The fact is that stuff happens. Life isn't fair. Whatever hits the fan certainly won't be evenly distributed. The best approach to dealing with things that cannot be changed is to accept them. The worst thing we can do is to succumb to the Victimitis Virus and "awfulize" the situation by throwing pity parties in Pity City. When the doo-doo starts to pile deep, a leader doesn't just sit there and complain (usually about "them"); he or she grabs a shovel. We may not choose what happens to us, but we do choose how to respond – or not.

    The second line of the Serenity Prayer asks for "the courage to change the things I can." This is the gulp-and-swallow part. Choosing to make changes is hard. It's so much easier to blame everyone else for my problems and to use this as an e
