Have You Got The Right People On The Bus? My favourite analogy for building the right teams is a simple one first put forward by the great Jim Collins. He noted that the greatest business leaders didn’t decide, in the first instance, what they wanted to achieve and then task their people to do it.

Whatever the sector and size of the business, we’re all under pressure to keep products and services competitively priced.

But what is the cost of dropping our prices? ....... to read the full article, follow this link: http://www.bosstoboss.com/newsletter/default.aspx?enumber=19.

How much time do you spend each week in meetings?

We all know that drinking and driving don’t mix, and at this time of year the police quite rightly crack down on those stupid enough to get behind the wheel after they’ve been celebrating the festive season. Penalties must be tough, and those who put lives at risk not only deserve to lose their licence...to read this article in full, please click here: http://www.bosstoboss.com/newsletter/

There are literally hundreds of tips and tools on time management that we’ve all read in books, articles and seminar notes, but the one that I find to be the most useful is the “stop doing list” recommended by Jim Collins. Many of us think of ourselves as disciplined. Our behaviour is driven by clearly set down goals.......read the full article at: http://www.bosstoboss.com/newsletter/default.aspx?enumber=10.

Whatever you call it, and for now let’s stick with good old-fashioned luck, I believe it comes along from time to time, but essentially you make your own! Last year I had the privilege of seeing Tony Robbins - the ultimate self-help and personal development guru.

Social networking sites can be useful, but for most I think they offer a very poor return on the time you invest in them! In recent years we’ve seen the arrival of all sorts of “social networking” sites on the Internet. They seem to attract huge numbers, especially amongst the young and those who sell their products and services over the net....read the whole article on http://www.bosstoboss.com/newsletter/default.aspx?enumber=4.

I’ve taken some time in the last few weeks to check out various member agreements and terms and conditions for the main social networking websites.
