Recognizing The Global Demand For Professionals
Recognizing the global demand for
professionals puts you ahead of other
businesses. By getting top talent on board
before the competitors, your business
propels forward. While other executives are
still searching for professionals, you
already have the best ones on board. In the
next year, there are several staffing areas
you should consider.
Return On Investment - Project
management professionals with IT skills are
essential for your organization to succeed.
Modern technologies move fast and you have
to keep up with the pace. Properly planning
projects and overseeing their implementation
are crucial to keep your company profitable
and progressive. Look for a project manager
with leadership abilities, a positive
attitude and excellent people skills.
Protection - Letting the cat
out of the bag to your competitors is
inevitable unless you employ security
professionals. Spam, malware and other
attacks threaten your business security
every day. As these potential security
breaches continue, businesses and their
valued clients are compromised. Hiring
security professionals is a top priority as
more business is conducted online rather
than personally or via telephone.
Support - As technology moves
forward, you will hire more IT employees and
other computer-based workers. These
inevitable hires will need desktop support
to adequately serve your business needs. A
desktop support professional with
proficiency in Microsoft is worth their
weight in gold. Their assistance minimizes
downtime for new employees as their
questions are answered immediately.
Traffic - With more IT
personnel comes additional traffic. Advanced
technologies such as video add to the
potential complications along the way.
Professional network administrators keep
traffic moving with minimal problems.
Computer networking engineers also plan,
design and implement the latest technologies
your company needs to install.
Cloud - Hire a professional
with their head in the clouds. Cloud
computing and virtualization are the wave of
the future. Be ahead of the crowd by hiring
a certified expert in virtualization to
handle the latest aspects of IT for your
company. An area still forgotten by many,
having a virtualization professional on
board puts you ahead of the rest.
Harness the power of the global market by
hiring professionals in these growing areas.
As the competition continues to seek talent,
you will already be working with it.t

Successful Business Tips
Are you ready, willing and able to mentor others? Are you
emotionally and psychologically prepared to invest time
and effort in helping another person?
to become one, seek out people and resources to help you
prepare for your new role. As a mentor, you should be
adding value to a person, enriching their quality of life
and, expanding their life purpose and capabilities. As a
mentor, you need to believe in the value of your work
without worrying about returned favors. If you have, or
can develop, a freely giving nature, you will likely
mentor all through your life - probably without thinking
much about it.
1. Establish your long-term vision. Take a good
look at your company and its core competencies and create
a written picture of your future.
2. Communicate your vision. Let everybody know what
your vision is and ask them what it means to them. This
will help you to get buy in and help others know where you
are going in the long term so they can see where they fit
in.
3. Establish some core values. By establishing some
core values, everyone will know the guidelines of their
actions and decisions. Core values allow us to come up
with similar answers to a problem regardless of the
position of an employee based on our values.
4. Establish your goals. Set long-term, (1-5 years)
intermediate, (Quarterly, BI-yearly) and short-term goals
(Daily, weekly, and monthly) for your entire company.
5. Create action plans for each goal. Make sure you
have very specific steps for each goal accomplishment.
6. Challenge everyone to meet the goals. Most
people will step up to the challenge and exceed your
expectations.
7. Recognize and reward employees for their
achievements. This will inspire others to achieve
more. What gets rewarded gets repeated.

EXCEPTIONAL LEADERS...
Declare The Future
Our Founding Fathers 'declared' our independence. Exceptional
Leaders know that to create a desired future, they must
declare it. This creates the space, energy and enthusiasm for
them and for others to make it a reality.
Bill Gates's declaration was "a computer on every desk
running Microsoft software." This is now realized, and
Microsoft is struggling to find the next declaration that will
propel them into the future.
Google's mission "is to organize the world's information
and make it universally accessible and useful." This
declaration certainly seems to be working for them.
Making declarations, even with a short-term perspective, can
be powerful. Some examples are; "we will increase sales by
20% this next year" and "we will launch this product by
March 1st."
Thought Provoker
- What future have you declared for yourself?
- As a leader, do you inspire others by declaring the future?
- Have you made your declarations public?
- Have you made them in writing?
- Have you made speeches declaring to all stakeholders what
you want to create for your organization?
Exceptional Leaders declare the future powerfully and
frequently to all who will listen.t
