Case Upon - None So Blind as Those Who do Not Ask
When it comes to manning your company, you should aim to know absolutely everything that goes in and out of it. From how much profit the company makes monthly to employee satisfaction. And because it is the company’s duty to know as much as possible, an employee performance appraisal is highly recommended to be done every now and then so that the company will be able to determine what employees are performing well and which ones are in need of improvement.1. Know Before You GoFor those who are tasked to the annual employee performance appraisa
"OK", the farmer said, turning to his son and adding, "Go out into the ute and get the briefcase" said the farmer. The salesman's jaw dropped and his imperious attitude was replaced by an empathetic, almost fawning attitude as the briefcase was retrieved and opened to reveal neat stacks of cash.

Hoard and sell: Illegal!In business, any stable Government will advise merchants not to hoard any essential goods in big proportion. The hoarded commodity will not be available for the people. They will be tempted to pay more to get the goods under temporary scarce conditions.Government regulates with orders and stringent measures just to avoid escalation of prices in respect of the hoarded commodity. This is all about the macro economics in state governance.Draw money from hoarding:We also know
When I observe assumptions being made in business I get just as frustrated.
Selling is a fertile field of assumption making. Two of our neighbours separately told me of a story about a farmer and his son who went to buy a car.
The car in question was a Rolls Royce. The location was the wheat farming area of northern Victoria in Australia. The father was a simple man with a simple farmer's dress sense, wearing clean working clothes when he went into "town".
The sales man, spotting the simply dressed farmer looking over the latest model Rolls Royce approached with a mind set of being polite but intending to move the loiterers on.
The farmer asked to take the car for a test drive. The salesman was a little bit uncertain what to do. He decided to go along with the request but felt he first had to make it clear to the farmer where he sat in the pecking order by asking him "Are you aware that these cars are worth 20,000 pounds?" (It was pre-decimal time).
After returning from the test drive when the sales person was less than interested in his prospect and more desirous of getting back quickly to go to lunch, the farmer asked the purchase price again. "I did say it was 20,000 pounds, Sir", the salesman said imperiously.
"OK", the farmer said, turning to his son and adding, "Go out into the ute and get the briefcase" said the farmer. The salesman's jaw dropped and his imperious attitude was replaced by an empathetic, almost fawning attitude as the briefcase was retrieved and opened to reveal neat stacks of cash.

Every time you hear someone say “May I have one of your business cards?" you should get excited. I know I do. That’s because I LOVE my cards. I spent thousands of dollars on printing, several hours on designing and went through 10 different layouts until I got them right.And it was all worth it.A business card is an entrepreneur’s best friend, his most valuable marketing tool and an essential element to becoming UNFORGETTABLE. Unfortunately, too many people have business cards that simply blend into the multitude of cookie cutter crap. An

Recently I read of a new website where teachers can post and sell their lesson plans to recover the time that they had spent in developing these plans. On the surface, this sounds reasonable and why would anyone object to teachers making a little more money through such a capitalist venture and leveraging their intellectual capitol?However this question is much more about understanding the importance of retaining intellectual capital (knowledge management) within the educational system and how this demonstrates questionable ethics on part of the tea

The main point purpose of this essay is to classify identify conflict. I will portray the sources of conflict and clarify the positive and negative features of conflict. I will also specify methods for managing conflict.First of all, I would like to define the meaning of conflict. Conflict is a process that begins when one party observes that another party has negatively affected, or is about to negatively affect something the first party cares about. Conflict is inevitable because people will always have different viewpoints, ideas, and opinio

My personal favorite example of taking a lemon and making lemonade comes from the early days of Wal-Mart, long before they became The World's Largest Retailer.The LemonOur story begins at an early Wal-Mart store, located in an economically depressed region. The store gained the dubious distinction for having the largest inventory shrinkage rate of all their stores. Shoplifting was rampant.Squeezing The LemonDesperate for a solution, the s

After counting the money the excited salesman was disappointed to have to tell the framer that he was 2000 pounds short. To which the farmer replied, "Son, don't be so stupid. I meant the other briefcase!"
The salesman's prejudice and superior attitude, coupled with his lazy sales technique which involved asking not one question almost cost him his commission on a big sale and risked upsetting what could have been a valuable lifetime customer.
People who do not ask questions, do not listen to others views and do not work as a team also risk not unravelling the answers to questions which bedevil them.
I tell an unoriginal tale to illustrate the point.
Six blind men were discussing exactly what they believed an elephant to be, since each had heard how strange the creature was, yet none had ever seen one before. So the blind men agreed to find an elephant and discover what the animal was really like.
It didn't take the blind men long to find an elephant at a nearby market. The first blind man approached the beast and felt the animal's firm flat side. "It seems to me that the elephant is just like a wall," he said to his friends.
The second blind man reached out and touched one of the elephant's tusks. "No, this is round and smooth and sharp - the elephant is like a spear."
Intrigued, the third blind man stepped up to the elephant and touched its trunk. "Well, I can't agree with e
