Winning at Working - Shades of Gray by Nan S. Russell - Aug, 2011 A paperweight sits on my desk, etched in silver with the message: Life isn't always black and white. It serves as a reminder there are few absolutes at work (or in life). Yet, it would be easier if there were; if good ideas from bad, trustworthy people from non-trustworthy, and right paths from the wrong ones could easily be discerned. I've learned in twenty years in management that increasing one's perspective increases th... |

5 Ways to Have More Fun at Work by Lindsey Pollak - Aug, 2011 It’s no secret that “all work and no play” is a bad idea. But what if you could actually play more at work? Wouldn’t that be the best of both worlds? According to guru Dale Carnegie, fun is not just pleasurable, it’s actually essential for career success: “People rarely succeed,” he once said, “unless they have fun in what they are doing.” While every minute of every day can’t necessarily be a blast, I wholeheartedly agree ... |

To attract the attention of hiring managers who may already know you, but have overlooked you in the past, you will need to step up your professional brand. There is no need to totally reinvent yourself. The fact that you are a known entity can and should be used to your advantage. The trick lies in how to conve... |

Isn’t working together supposed to be easy? We often set ourselves up for the people problems we face. When we fail to set boundaries that keep out unwanted coworker behaviors, we pay a price. Ominous signs People problems generally sneak up on us. One day we realize we’re caught in a cycle we don’t like—one that’s interfering with... |

Google and Your Personal Brand by Debra Wheatman - Aug, 2011 Just before I sat down to write this article, I decided to do a little research. I thought to myself, what will I see if I Google my own name? It was an interesting experiment because I found out that my website came up as the number one hit with my name. I was pleased to see this as I have spent a great deal of time working to elevate awareness of my brand. However, I did notice a few old links and posts that were very o... |

Using Email to Promote Your Personal Brand by Debra Wheatman - Aug, 2011 Every time you send out an email, you have the opportunity to promote your personal brand. The way you communicate in email is important because every message you send tells the recipient something about you. If your email messages are curt or contain too many errors, this can be a big negative and detract from your personal brand.

Answeryourownquestionitis by Suzanne Bates - Aug, 2011 I was running on the treadmill the other morning and flipped the channel to one of my favorite local TV sports talk shows. I really like one sportscaster, a gifted analyst who doesn't lead with his ego. His co-anchor is the polar oposite - rude and obnoxious, even by sports talk standards. The topic was the just announced NFL collective bargaining agreement and Mr. Rude kicked it off with a question. "Who won? Owners o... |

Nothing Good Happens After Midnight by Suzanne Bates - Aug, 2011 The mother of a friend of mine always used to say, "Nothing good happens after midnight." After reading the August 1st WSJ article about the Allstate insurance executive who got fired for unflattering remarks about his boss, I would only add "...at the company off-site meeting."
