Engaging Your Front-Line Employees to Drive Growth
Research into best practices has shown that the most effective way to grow a business is by tapping the ideas and energy of the managers and employees on the front lines, the people who deal with customers on a daily basis.
Yet in a recent study, practically all of the workers surveyed felt that they were simply expected to follow orders, that all of the initiatives came down from the top.
The reason for this disconnect might simply be the harsh business environment, according to business consultant Andrew Goldberg. A recent study of about six million businesses showed that only about 10 percent of them survived 40 years or more. A majority folded after just 10 years.

To maintain high levels of productivity and employee morale, companies need to also maintain their organizational health.
But getting the organization to a healthy state is not a neat and tidy process, but rather one that involves ins and outs and ongoing maintenance. The first thing to do is build a tight leadership team. No matter what kind of organization you have, from multinational conglomerate to church bingo committee, if the leadership is not working well, it will filter down through the rest of the organization and prevent the whole enterprise from working well.

Words to Live By: Social Media & Your Business
Companies are getting involved with social media a lot these days. They use it to recruit and as a marketing tool. Everyone from CEOs to managers and lower-level employees is posting to Facebook or blogging.
With all that online publishing going on, it is a good idea for your company to have a social media policy, a kind of "rules of the road" for people to follow, so that they won't get themselves into trouble later for doing something they shouldn't have online.
