| 12/11/2008 | Download File (32.19 MB) - right click to download | |
| This cast describes a simple way to handle the interviewing question, ”What’s your location
preference?”
Many people lose great job opportunities because they don’t know how to talk about WHERE they
want to work without scaring the recruiter. There’s a right way to do it. It’s okay to prefer a certain location … but you’ve also got to reassure the recruiter that your choice isn’t ONLY about location.

| This cast explains a simple technique to consider the impact of decisions on multiple stakeholders.
Decision-making (which is more than choosing!) is a core part of our jobs as managers. But yet again, there’s not a lot of training or development spent on it. Everyone hates learning it on their own…but then they visit [...] | |
| Facilitating Ground Rules to Start a Meeting | |
| 11/23/2008 | Download File (28.49 MB) - right click to download | |
| This cast shows how to facilitate the capture of Ground Rules when starting a meeting.
Finally we return to discussing presentations! Both Mark and Mike have recently been in the audience
for professional presentations, and it was an eye opening experience for both of us. We think every
manager – and by definition if you’re a manager you have to assume you’re going to be a presenter –
ought to have presentation training.
And we think we’re the ones to do it. ;-)

| This cast describes how to make a decision effective by NOT working on other actions or plans after you’ve decided.

| This cast describes a way to approximate One on Ones (O3s) with your boss.

| I’m sure there are going to be a few people very upset with me. I frankly don’t care.
I do not like Twitter.
I’ve used it, and I don’t like it, and I’ll tell you why. Because if you’re a manager, and as we like to say, if you’re an executive, which is not as exclusive [...] | |

| Most any manager can manage well, or at least look good managing, when times are good. Retention is as easy as it will ever be, budgets tend to grow to hide lack of controls, and others want to join your team, so hiring is easy too.
But during tough economic times, the professional manager has to [...] | |

| At some point, we are going to do a couple of podcasts, perhaps 10, 20, 30, I don’t know, regarding culture in the workplace. A big part of culture at the workplace is stories we tell one another.
I read a “Harvard Business Review article” a while ago, it may have been over a year ago, [...] | |

| Mark has been re-reading Peter Drucker’s The Effective Executive for the billionth time lately. Every time he reads it, something different strikes him.

| And the answer really is folks: they don’t work.
When you think about almost any economic system that exists today, there is a buyer and a seller. The seller has something the buyer wants and the buyer expects the seller to give him or her a fair price. There is an inherent negotiation that happens [...] | |
