relationships. A common way to build relationships is through
referrals: with, for and through banks, attorneys, employees,
peers, and anyone else who has something that someone else wants or
needs. The better you are at managing the referral, the better off
you and those in your organization will be. Unfortunately, even
though most referrals start with good intentions, they're conducted
haphazardly and don't yield the

ethics if it's used for the wrong reasons. Manipulation is the flip
side of obligation. If you use obligation to manipulate, I
guarantee that you will lose your ability to persuade. People will
catch on to your tactics, quickly declining any gifts you might
offer or even refusing to be around you. Your gifts will be
perceived as set-ups. People will instinctively know

Picture an unproductive workplace, staffed by unmotivated
employees. People are standing around, some are trying to look
busy, but nothing ever seems to get accomplished. The team leader
is frustrated because things just don't happen the way they're
supposed to. Even in busy workplaces, goals are never fully reached
despite the hustle and the bustle. If this scenario describes your
workplace, maybe it's time to do something about it.

to two separate buyers. The two companies being sold are nearly
identical. They have similar products and services, serve similar

a difference?

"Leadership is about coping with change. Part of the reason it
has become so important in recent years is that the world has
become more competitive and more volatile...doing what was done
yesterday, or doing it 5% better, is no longer a formula for
success. Major changes are more and more necessary to survive and
compete effectively in this new environment. More change always
demands more leadership." — John Kotter, "What Leaders Really Do,"

Credit is an essential tool to most people's lives. A good
credit rating allows for many things that we take for granted:

credit bureau, and will make doing the above things difficult if
not impossible. When your credit rating becomes poor, you

Not a whole lotta time to think about business principles and
ethics when flying Air Moldova from Chisinau to Frankfurt. The
constant creaking sounds make it hard to focus on developing one
idea over seven hundred words. Most of one's concentration goes to
simply keeping the Soviet-built, Yakovlev Yak-42 up in the air. So
as I gnaw on my lamb kabob (for breakfast!), and the plane gnaws on
my nerves, allow me the luxury of jotting

In business, the inner need to act or accomplish tasks known as
motivation occurs more when "greed" is present. If I do this,
perhaps I will get a raise or a bonus. I'll admit this thought has

Some of the biggest motivators in our lives are the need to have
enough money, and to live comfortably.

you can grow personally, improve upon your unique gifts, and become
