Hey Employers, your Employees are People Too
Hey Employers, yur Employees are People Too A bizarre thing happened in my personal life this past weekend that can easily translate into a lesson for the professional world. I regularly attend church. So, I went out of town over the weekend and returned home to a new pastorwith no explanation as to why. Let me give you some backgroundThe church I attend is a satellite and there are many, many satellite churches around the world in this ministry. The founding church is in Michigan.During Wednesday night bible study, our regular pastor welches there. Yet, on Friday evening service, the congregation welches informed that he would no longer be pastoring the churchand that was it.No explanations. No opportunity for questions. No nothing.Now, take into account that this man and his family (my pastor) have been leading this church for the past six years. Many people (including myself) developed a close, personal relationship with these people. Now, seemingly out of nowhere, they have been ripped from being our spiritual leaders.No contact information was provided so we dont even know if well ever see them again. And the most disturbing part is the way this situation is being handled.The founder shortly addressed the congregationI have an announcement to make, XYZ will no longer be the pastor here. I am the new pastor. Alright, open up your bibles.I kid you not it was that simple.Something huge has happened that affects the church members (and their lives) and not only is the founder not offering details, he also isnt giving them a say-so in who is next to pastor them. Hes treating members, the base off his ministry and its success, as if theyre insignificant.This unfortunate event made me think about business operations and how those in positions of authority treat their workers. Employers, please remember, your employees are people too and deserve to be treated as such. And the f ollowing are just three of the many ways to do just that1. R-E-S-P-E-C-T. Show respect at all times, no matter who the person is. Just because your job title or status may be higher than another workers doesnt mean your humanness is any greater than theirs. Your employees are adults and all proved themselves enough to be hired for their positions. Treat them accordingly.Do not talk down to employees or disregard their concerns. This harms employee engagement and morale, which inevitably decreases productivity and increases employee turnover.2. Keep employees up-to-date. Members at my church were shocked to come to church and hear 1) their pastor was gone and 2) no explanation for this occurrence. It was sudden and unexpected seeing as how many just saw him two days before at the Wednesday bible studyand the fact that they werent permitted to receive any more information made it worse.Employees need to be up-to-date all the time on whats taking place within the company. If a manager or supervisor is on his/her way out, inform the persons workers. And if a sudden change in leadership does occur, give employees as much information as possible and answer their questions to resolve possible conflicts. Dont not give them the opportunity to ask questions or inquire about the new change. Your workers are the backbone of the company and play an integral role in its success. Dont keep them in the dark as if they arent a part of them team.3. Practice your presentation. The church founder was short, seemingly unernst and his approach came off as rude. It was as if he didnt care enough about his own members to approach them compassionately. At the end of his 30-second announcement, he even said youll get over it. His approach totally disregarded the feelings and concerns of members upon hearing that their pastor(s) were suddenly gone.Presentation is everything. Workers can tell by your approach whether or not youre engaged or concerned about them.4. Follow the Golden Rule. Its pretty simple treat others how you want to be treated. As stated in point no.1, your employees are people just like you. The CEO, CFO and any other kind of officer is no more human than the mail clerk or entry-level worker.

Millennials dont give to charity often but when they do it is a lot of money
Millennials dont give to charity often but when they do it is a lot of moneyMillennials dont give to charity often but when they do it is a lot of moneyAre Millennials really the most self-obsessed generation? It seems not, according to two Princeton researchers who examined charitable donations and analyzed how Millennials philanthropy stacked up against earlier generations. Their preliminary findings were published in the American Behavioral Scientistunder the title,Are Millennials Really So Selfish? by researchers Harvey Rosen, John L. Weinberg Professor of Economics and Business Policy Emeritus at Princeton University, and recent Princeton graduate Peter Koczanski.My colleague and I are both interested in the economics of altruism, said study author Harvey S. Rosen told PsyPost. The altruistic behavior of the Millennials (or lack thereof) has received a lot of attention, and we were struck by how little careful statistical work has been done to back of various assertations by pun dits and others. We knew of a dataset that might be useful in investigating this question, so we decided to see what we could learn from it.Follow Ladders on FlipboardFollow Ladders magazines on Flipboard covering Happiness, Productivity, Job Satisfaction, Neuroscience, and moraThe researchers examined Philanthropy Panel Study, which included information about the philanthropic behavior of nearly 15,000 U.S. households for every other year from 2001 to 2015. Researchers analyzed information from that dataset for the study.The researchers found that after controlling for a number of factors, Millennials gave charitable gifts slightly less often. However, all things being equal, it was discovered that when they did give, they were more likely to donate more sometimes up to 16% more.What we found is that if you take into account a whole bunch of variables that influence giving such as income, wealth, ethnicity and so on then the likelihood that a Millennial makes a gift is someone l ower than the preceding generations, said Rosen on the Fresh Research Podcast. But if you look at just the people who make a gift, the amount of the Millennial give tends to be more than their predecessor generations.No word yet on whether contributing to their friends Kickstarters count as charitable giving.

Open Source vs. Public Domain Software Applications
Open Source vs. Public Domain Software ApplicationsOpen Source vs. Public Domain Software ApplicationsOpen source software allows users to access and alter the source code of the program itself. The source code is basically a list of commands that dictate how the program executes. Some open source applications have restrictions on their use and distribution, but many do not. Is There a Difference Between Open Source Applications and Public Domain? Open source applications are not under public domain, and this allows people to freely use their works. Public domain software typically does not allow access to source codes, although this is not always the case. Open source software does have copyrights. Sometimes the term open source is used interchangeably with public domain software, but theyre not the saatkorn thing. The Determining Factors Are Copyrights or Use Restrictions The key distinction between OS and public domain software is not whether the source code is accessible, but whether there are any licensing requirements or other restrictions on using the program, altering the source code, redistributing the program oron the copyright.If there are, it is open source, not public domain software. Open Source Initiative, a 501(c)(3) California-based nonprofit, offers a very detailed and legal definition of open source software, who can use it,and how. They also have a greatalphabetical listingof companies that offer open source software if you wish to investigate a particular company.OpenSource.orgis a great place to find out more about how you can develop, collaborate and use OS software. Other Important Distinctions OS software can be freely shared, used, and even changed by anyone. Its developed through the contributions of many and distributed under licenses that must comply with certain criteria for use. The license cannot discriminate against anyone. In other words, you cannot bar certain groups of people from using the software. It must allow for derived works. Examples Open source software comes in all shapes and sizes and can serve multiple purposes.Examples include LINUX, Apache, Firefox, KOffice, Thunderbird, OpenOffice, KOffice, and SquirrelMail. Firefox is a simple web browser, whereas LINUX is more complicated. Its a UNIX-based operating system. OpenOffice is an office suite offered by Apache. In the case of OpenOffice, you can download and install the program on pretty much any computer for free, even if you install it on multiple computers. Make copies and pfote them out to friends and family. There are no license fees. Use it as you would any other word processing, spreadsheet or database program. And if you have a problem such as that a bug pops up or if you think you can make it better, you can report it or just tweak the issue yourself. The program allows users to enhance it, according to Apache. Is It Safe? Anytime you allow access by multiple users, the issue of viruses arises. Proceed with cauti on and make sure you have a good anti-virus application in place when you access open source software.

Screen Candidates to Find the Elusive Needle in the Haystack
Screen Candidates to Find the Elusive Needle in the HaystackScreen Candidates to Find the Elusive Needle in the HaystackScreen Candidates to Find the Elusive Needle in the Haystack Mazzeo, Paul Oyer and Scott Schaefer, authors of Roadside MBA Back Road Lessons for Entrepreneurs, Executives and Small Business Owners (Business Plus, 2014)Screening candidates, whetherbei its reviewing rsums, conducting interviews, or checking references, is costly. Time spent interviewing candidates is time that a small business owner isnt spending on other essential activities.Hence, its important to minimize the cost of employee screening when possible, and also to balance the cost of screening against the benefit of making better hires.Recruit by Playing Hard to GetAt Southside Family Fun Center, Richard reduced the cost of screening by playing hard to get. That is, he set up small hurdles that an applicant must overcome in order to have his or her application receive consideration.Note first that Ri chard required applicants to apply in person. This might well be a hassle for applicants especially compared to an online job application process but this is precisely what Richard wants.To see why, imagine two potential job applicants one who knows that shes a good match for Richards job and stands a good gelegenheit of getting an offer, and another who doesnt care much for bowling or cleaning and figures hes a long shot to get an offer.The first applicant is needle, and Richard very much wants her to apply. The second, though, is just hay, and mora hay in the stack means more costly screening work to identify the good candidate from among a mass of rsums.Richard would prefer that the second simply not apply.Ask More of the ApplicantThe key to this logic is that job seekers compare cost and benefit when making decisions about what jobs to apply for. A person who has little chance of getting an offer wont bother with the hassle of applying. If, on the other hand, that same person thinks shes a great fit for this job, then the hassle cost probably wont deter her.A small hassle cost of applying deters hay more than it does needle and means that Richards overall pool of applicants is tilted a bit more toward better candidates. Note, however, that Richard still got 176 applications (likely attributable in part to the high local unemployment rate).How could he work through this pile of paper efficiently? Richard described his next step We put right on the ad Bring a pen, and the first five through the door didnt have a pen. So I just said, How do you expect to get a job when you dont pay attention to the rules? People just scattered. At the end of the day, there werent but five that we were interested in talking to.How to Play Hard to GetSurely Richard had pens sitting around the bowling alley back office this is not about the pens. Instead, Richard is putting up a second hurdle. To receive serious consideration, an applicant had to read the ad carefully enough t o know to bring a pen. Again, this is precisely the sort of small cost that will tilt the pool in a favorable direction.The applicants who think they are a good match for the job will be more fastidious in reading instructions than those who think they are a long shot. The play-hard-to-get strategy works by giving serious applicants the opportunity to separate themselves from the rest by incurring small costs that demonstrate their belief that theyre credible candidates.By playing hard to get, Richard was able to reduce his pool to a manageable five, and it was this group that received a full rsum review, interview, and reference check.Its often counterintuitive to managers when we encourage them to play hard to get. If Im serious about hiring, people wonder, then why would I want to discourage applications? The answer is that its always good to deter applications from bad matches the last thing you want is a bigger haystack when what you need is that one elusive needle.And while Ri chards hiring problem was indeed difficult, he did catch one break We had a few people come in that day wearing pajamas, he said, shaking his head and laughing. None of these individuals made the second round.Excerpted from the book ROADSIDE MBA by Michael Mazzeo, Paul Oyer, and Scott Schaeffer. 2014 by Michael Mazzeo, Paul Oyer, and Scott Schaeffer.

This is why meetings wreck productivity
This is why meetings wreck productivityThis is why meetings wreck productivityMeetings are time killers and are often used in large companies by managers to make themselves look busy. In big companies, communicating that work is being done is often more important than actually doing any real work.This should have been an emailFirst, most meetings are completely unnecessary, and many could be replaced with an email. Ive worked in several Fortune 500 companies and at least half of the work hours were consumed by an endless parade of meetings rather than actually getting work done. While working for a large bank, I had over 36 hours of meetings scheduled in a single week. ( I welches actually booked for 44 hours, but was double or triple booked for a few).To make things worse, most meetings are scheduled for an hour by default, even if the agenda (if there even is one) could be handled in 20 minutes. This encourages a lot of time wasters during the meeting and removes any sense of urgen cy to move things along.You could be doing something elseThen there is the opportunity cost of the meeting itself. If you are in a meeting for an hour, that means you arent doing something more productive - like actual work. Most people have become pretty good at multitasking during meetings and keeping up on email, but that means they are only half paying attention, so whats the point?Start/StopBut the ultimate productivity killer is the constant start/stop in during the day that keeps you from any deep work. Imagine for a moment that you have 4 one-hour meetings scheduled in a day, and 4 hours of actual work to accomplish. However the meetings arent scheduled in a single back to back 4 hour block, but are scheduled every other hour 9am, 11am, 2pm, and 4pm all in different areas of the building. Every other hour youll need 10 minutes to get to and from each meeting, including packing up your laptop, grabbing your phone, maybe stopping at the bathroom or refilling coffee. Then when you get back to your desk it takes you a few minutes to get refocused, launch your applications and dig into your work which you can do for about 30 minutes until you have to leave for another meeting.The best case in this scenario is that you will have four 30 minute blocks of time to get any real work done, which is exactly what happens at most large organizations - most everyone in a large meeting plagued organization only gets 2-3 hours of actual work accomplished in a day.Anyone who actually wants to get work done has to show up at the office early to get an uninterrupted jump on the day and stay later to finish any work before they leave. That leads to 60 hour work weeks, which has been shown in itself to destroy productivity. Its a vicious cycle that sucks productivity out of an organization and energy out of its people.Bernie Klinder is a serial entrepreneur, investor and consultant. This article first appeared at Quora.

Prove that You#8217;re the Best
Prove that You8217re the Best Prove that You8217re the Best Its a fair question for which we should probably have a canned response. But instead, I think I said something like I dont know, how could I possibly prove that to you? I dont know his experiences with past companies. I dont know the kind of ROI that he expects or has gotten elsewhere. We have client testimonials, but these days, arent those assumed to be a paid-for commodity? How can I ever judge my own companys relative performance, especially since each clients needs are different?The rest of ur conversation was about the things that I do know our metrics, our results, our company philosophy, and about other interesting stuff. But what I refused to say is here is how and why were the best. Its not my job to judge other companies and people. Its the clients responsibility to gauge whether or not were the best relative to other companies.When I was in recruiting, a lot of potential clients would ask similar questions (dem ands), like Why would I want to work with you over ABC company?, What do you do differently than XYZ company?, or Prove to me that I should want to work with you over other recruiting firms. Its the type of question that no company should ever answer. Decisions are up to clients. When youre playing the vendor role, its up to you to talk about what you do well and demonstrate a past history supporting that success. Beyond that, the prove that youre the best question should really be turned to the client What does the best mean to you? What are looking for? What was good about working with your best vendor?I was reminded of this recent article on being a top recruiting firm. Why are we all obsessed with calling ourselves the top and best of anything? Arent we all as companies good at X, great at Y, not so good at C, and awful at D? But should we ever call ourselves the best? Would we ever want to be?I hope that as a company we can grow to be brutally honest with ourselves and our cli ents. Client relationships should be just that relationships. And good relationships are founded on a real understanding of who the other person is. In sales as in any good conversation, both people have to pay attention to the other and care. Were going to try to forget about being the best and focus on understanding ourselves and our clients.Ill let you know how that sale goes. Or doesnt go.
