Inspiring Management Tips
Put your perspective into proportion and you will improve your workplace relationships
I posted these two photos on Facebook yesterday after Grace surprised me with an uncommon dose of patience. I always feel like I’m the one modeling restraint and tolerance in our relationship, but that’s just not true. That’s MY perspective, not hers. Of course, I’m only thinking about the things I do to ensure she feels…
Do you love where you work?
What do you love about the company you work for? I’m sure there is something you love about the company you work for. Hopefully there are lots of things. And that’s the way it should be.

The Most Effective Phrases to Motivate an Employee to Do Something You Want Them To Do
A manager recently asked me if I could suggest some phrases that would motivate employees to do their work. This supervisor was hoping to find some positive ways to address lingering situations, such as corralling wandering workers away from a neighboring cubicle because of the continual distraction to the other co-workers, ending lengthy water cooler…
Effective communication depends on whether you are on a ‘walk’ or a ‘sniff’
It’s cold. Really cold here in New Hampshire. When it’s six degrees outside, you don’t dawdle. Hanging around sniffing the environment can get your toes frozen, literally.

Are you, or your employees, stuck in the decision-making process?
A colleague and I were talking the other day about how frustrating it is when people don’t get back to you. Simple things, like scheduling a meeting or making a decision on who to involve on a project team. In the beginning of our little pity party, we were not so tolerant, saying things like: “How…
Between you, me, and the lamp post, you can’t do everything well
I’ve always loved decorating Christmas trees. So when the Peterborough Chamber of Commerce announced a “Deck the Poles” holiday event, I was all over it. I mean, I’ve never decorated a lamp post, but wouldn’t it be just like decorating a tree? Nope. I learned that a lamp post is not a tree. This project…
