- Have you ever noticed french fries taste the same at every McDonald's? The same can be said for Subway and its Italian BMT.

- I'm sure you've experienced those typical "headache" meetings! You know the kind I'm talking about -- the ones where the key players are running late, no one knows exactly why the meeting was called, and there's not a single agenda in sight. Everyone's sitting around wondering, "Will this last 20 minutes or will we be here all day?" It's impossible to tell!Then, once the meeting finally get...

- 2007-11-13 22:16:19 - Directed introspection
- One of the greatest obstacles to progress can often be our awareness of past failures. If we tried something a couple of years ago and fell flat on our faces (and especially if we were ridiculed or derided as a result) we tend to be reluctant to rock the boat again.

- 2007-11-13 22:16:19 - Allowing employees responsibility
- Merely assigning a task with detailed instructions is not effective delegation. An employee cannot grow without the freedom to make decisions on how the job should be done.

- 2007-11-13 22:16:19 - Management development - micromanagement works!
- Getting into the detail of everything each of your people does, will really damage your relationships with them.
