The Cutting Edge

Watch yourself when trying to stay on the cutting edge. Typically we try to do too much and nothing gets done well. We wind up wasting time, rather than saving time and succeeding. Purge your “to do” list of any action that does not move you towards your goals . . . or change your goals!

Focus on your self-talk so you say, “I choose to or I choose not to, it’s not that I can’t.” You will only stay on the cutting edge if you believe you should be there.

Generation Y in the Workplace

Amazingly, this is the hottest topic in business today. I receive emails everyday asking, “How do I work with Generation Y?” How do you provide leadership and motivation to this new entrant into the workforce? The Millenials, the other moniker for Gen Y, were born between 1977 and 1994 and there are some 70 million in this 14 to 31 age group…roughly 20 percent of the U.S. Population.

1. Tear up historical job descriptions. I mean really — people aren’t doing what’s written in them, so there is a gap between reality and the written word. Gen Y wants the reality of the job, not some over stated litany of words that is outdated.
