The following is a guest piece by Hamish Knox.

Photo credit: 123RF. Sometimes you need to make a decision without input from others. However, when you are asked about your reasons for your conclusion, a response like “It needs to be done this way” or “No, we can’t do that” can be seen as disrespectful and authoritarian.

Succession planning ensures that employees who will fill potential openings are on standby or available to take up the roles created by disengaging employees.

With such a limited skill set peddlers are sales people who changes jobs regularly because they do not build repeat sales.

It was the point in a hard workout when the pain stops burning the legs and lungs and becomes a thick cloud of smoke behind the eyes.
