Are You Sabotaging Your Career?
My experience working with thousands of leaders world wide for the past two decades teaches me that most leaders are screwing up their careers.On a daily basis, these leaders are getting the wrong results or the right results in the wrong ways.Interestingly, they themselves are choosing to fail. They’re actively sabotaging their own careers.Leaders commit this sabotage for a simple reason: They make the fatal mistake of choosing to communicate with presentations and speeches -- not leadership talks.In terms of boosting one’s career, the difference between the two methods of leadership communication is the difference between lightning and the lightning bug.Speeches/presentations primarily communicate information. Leadership talks, on the other hand, not only communicate information, they do more: They establish a deep, human emotional connection with the audience.Why is the later connection necessary in leadership?Look at it this way: Le

Franchise Disclosure Law and The Right To Privacy
The Federal Trade Commission enforces franchise company disclosure rules. They have developed a policy for the uniform franchise disclosure laws. The UFOC contains massive amounts of disclosure and often is 200 pages, most of which no one ever reads. It also contains all the franchisor’s present franchisee’s phone numbers. The potential franchise buyers want to call all the current franchisees and want to talk. Well many of these franchisees do not want people calling them. They do not want their privacy violated as it is and now the FTC has increased and the information given in the UFOC?

Corporate marketing groups - especially bandwidth-challenged small-to-mid-sized departments - can be so focused on tactics and fire fighting that they jeopardize their marketing investment. There is a tendency to overreact to events, to tackle symptoms rather than underlying fundamental problems and to jump at the opportunity to please the boss. Many times, this kind of tactical knee jerking may be fatal.

Without great marketing, companies won't flourish, especially those in highly competitive markets. Yet the chaotic nature of emerging or dynamic growth companies and the tendency to place the marketing burden on too few individuals is a setup for failure. Promising companies may be left in the dust, or at least handicapped at the starting gate.

Marketing Operations is emerging as an important discipline for improving performance and measuring ROI in admired technology companies (like Intel, IBM and Amazon) who have refined and fine-tuned their marketing organization with an operational focus.

Many A Small Is Together Big
It has been often noted than small businesses are the driving force behind the large number of innovations that contribute to growth of a national economy through employment creation, investments and export. But the fact that they don’t have the money or the bandwidth to carry out strong marketing programmes has always kept them in the dark corner of an economic society. Comprising nearly two thirds of the enterprises in India, small businesses have never been given the opportunity to come into the limelight. As India becomes the playground for the world, these small businesses across various industries now seem to be ignored much more than ever before. Suddenly with the liberalisation of trade and the opening up of our economy we all seem to have started talking the ‘brand language’. The Guccis and the Sonys of the world is all what we hear and read across the media. Why don’t we talk about the millions of small businesses that form the backbone of the bustlin
