Developing Punctuality In Your Employees
Apparently their values and work ethics do not include “coming to work on time" and you have an ingrained company culture of tardiness. Since this is the case, and what you propose is not going to be popular, you can't "motivate" with words alone.
This leaves you with the only two things we ever have – reward and punishment (or the carrot and the stick). The bifurcation point will be whether or not you have the authority to hire and fire.

Should
You Market Your Services At A Trade Show?
Actually every time I go out, anywhere, I tend to get
a client. That's what I learned as a fundraiser. GET OUT.
Of course I had more staff and budget then, but I went
to anything I could get into - chamber luncheons, non-
profit banquets, plumbing trade shows, church anniversaries.
Mix and mingle.

How
To Create a Beautiful Work Day
How do you spend your business day? Do you plow through a dreary to-do list? Do you struggle through regular tasks that you've been doing day in and day out? What do you listen to while you're working? Silence? Soft rock? The Rolling Stones? Audioslave? May I suggest Tom Waits and Miles Davis during the quiet hours of 3:00 a.m.?

How
To Develop Your Personal Authority
Lately,
however, I have had some problems with young adults of the opposite sex who are,
in my perception, very rude. They think it is their right to treat me like a television
while I conduct a class: reading a paper when they feel bored, putting their feet
up on the chair in front of them, eating full meals, coming 15 or 20 minutes tardy,
returning from the break late, yawning loudly, and talking among themselves are
all behaviors I have had to deal with.

Seven
Reasons You're Too Tired To Move
We've
all had moments when we feel we're just to tired to work on that article or resume
or special report. And sometimes a client feels too tired to call a coach or consultant.

How
To Compete With Younger Job Applicants
Trouble
is, I'm 52 years old and although I'm in good health I can't seem to compete with
the younger applicants. I know I've got ten or fifteen good years to offer. How
can I break through the age barrier to get to a new career? Would more schooling
help? On a resume, how can I ease an employer's concerns about long term employability?.

Rebuilding
Confidence After Job-Loss
I always
considered myself to be someone who is supportive and sensitive to others' needs.
I feel that I have a gift of 'being able to get on someone's wavelength' to understand
where they are coming from. This was valuable when I worked in contract negotiations
as well as in adapting my approach to different people as a Project Manager. People
I have worked with have commented on and told me they appreciate this. Several
have suggested that I would make a great manager.

How
To Get Organized
I belong
to a yahoogroup of coaches and right now the topic is how to get organized. One
coach writes that he's using Outlook Express for his email and email address list,
Time & Order for his address book, calendar, datebook and to-do list (synchronizing,
he says, between PS and daytimer), and MindMappit for brainstorming/lists." Someone
replies that they're an infj and to remember to focus on people and relationships.
A third one replies they wouldn't want to be a 'type' and there's probably a name
for that type, and she uses .etc."

Breaking
The Cycle Of Employee Disrespect
I work
many long hours/long days and am presently driving 130 miles RT to work. My Boss
requires that I am at work by 0800MT in order to appease my staff (they do not
know/nor care that I work 12-14 hours/day). I am used to flex-time and am trying
desperately to adapt. Due to traffic, etc., there have been times I have been
late but always call. My Boss is concerned about what my employees think or believe
about my occasional tardiness.

Are
Headhunters Calling You... Or Ignoring You?
In my
former life as a recruiter (also affectionately referred to as “headhunter”)
I received hundreds of resumes a week from all parts of the country. The statement
that a person’s resume gets a 15 second read is not far from the truth.
In fact, 15 seconds is a generous assumption. In reality, a resume must capture
the recruiter’s attention in the first five seconds to avoid the round file.

Dining For Less!
If you
take your clients out for a business lunch or dinner, it doesn't have to cost
you an "arm and a leg" to do it. You can save anywhere from 10%, 20%,
30% - even as much as 50% on the cost of your meals. And the best part is you
can do it discreetly !

The
New Ergonomics: Good Health through Inconvenience
You spend
your day at a computer workstation or executive desk. The furniture item fills
up the corner of the room, holds your computer, fax/phone/copier, scanner, filing
basket and a year's worth of office supplies. There's enough space left over to
spread out a picnic lunch if you are so inclined. You settle comfortably into
a big executive type chair on casters and get ready to call a few colleagues in
for a meeting.

How
To Weigh a Job Offer
With the
promise of economic turnaround on the horizon, you may be one of many people considering
a career move. While the excitement of moving to a new opportunity can't be denied,
invest the time to thoroughly evaluate any job offer. Too often people follow
the "almighty dollar" and allow salary to be their guiding factor.
