It is interesting to me that professionals still struggle with personal productivity given the avalanche of time management gadgets, books and seminars available today. It all comes down to three main issues you must contend with if you want to cont... FEAR KILLS CREATIVITY AND INNOVATION
“Barry! I guess I will take that $4500 dollars out of your next pay check!” The target of this tirade was a young engineer name Barry. Barry made a mistake on an order that caused an ugly manufacturing delay for a key customer. He tried to solve a... GETTING A RAISE IS EASY IF YOU KNOW HOW TO ASK FOR ONE
