2012 Mar | Volume 7, Issue 2: Bridging The Generation Gap | ![]() | |
Managing a team can be challenging at the best of times, but when you have a team that is spanning the ages from Generation Y to baby boomers and everything in between, life can be very complicated indeed. That is because different age groups respond differently to the things that you say or do. What works well for one age group is absolutely wrong for another. Thus working with a multi-generational team can be a minefield. To help cope with this environment, you have to start by understanding each generational group.

2012 Mar | Volume 7, Issue 2: The effort/reward equation: do you have it right? | ![]() | |
Is clicking through to your website worth my time? If I give you that personal information, what do I get in return? Is the price you are offering good enough for me to create yet another account? These are the types of questions your customers will be considering in relation to your online business. I call it the effort/reward equation. Quite simply, the effort/reward equation is the subconscious determination of whether the effort required (user input) is worth the reward on offer (the product or service you are presenting).

2012 Feb | Volume 7, Issue 1: A Leader Can Make a Difference | ![]() | |
It starts at the top. There is no doubt you need a team to achieve your vision and plans, but it starts with a leader. If you want to finish the year differently, it starts with you. Category : Learning Library - 60 Seconds with Achievers Group - Peter Irvine | |||
2012 Feb | Volume 7, Issue 1: Lessons on Selling the Infomercial Way | ![]() | |
I have spent a lot of time thinking about what really works in selling. An amazingly effective model is the TV infomercial. Infomercials, as we all know, can make a substantial amount of money in just a couple of minutes. They spot the product, it suddenly solves our problem and then *bang* we have bought it before we even knew we needed it. It is powerful stuff and there are many lessons that we can learn about the sales process if we dissect how infomercials work.

2012 Feb | Volume 7, Issue 1: “Leadership is Influence.” - John Maxwell | ![]() | |
Ghandi had incredible influence that reached beyond his life span and beyond the nation. He understood himself and others. As a young teen he had low self esteem and was reported to be shy and his young bride had difficulty accommodating to his impatient, jealous and demanding outbursts. He failed medical school but later passed a law degree. Clearly, Ghandi had some significant fear barriers but clearly he recognised these issues and overcame them.
