I became an entrepreneur when I started my first business at age twelve. My dream was simple: become a great leader and change the world. Today, as the Efficient CEO of Efficient Technology Inc, my vision is constantly being exercised and my goal is still the same. We are changing the world every day by eliminating paper and forever changing how people look at paperwork. This blog is about the many facets of my passion for business: leadership, management, people, processes and technology. While I enjoy other passions like snowboarding and surfing, my focus is to share what I learn daily with everyone around me, and readers like you. I welcome your feedback and insight!

What Bad Management Feels Like

By Richard Walker | Published 2012/05/16

A bad manager can make their employees miserably productive for a while, but a good leader will push that manager out the revolving door they created. Be a great manager and give at least as much good feedback with every dose of critique.

Your Number One Deal Killer

By Richard Walker | Published 2012/05/09

And why not go the cheap route… forms are easy to build, right? Anyone can do it?!? Sure. Anyone can build a form that causes the customer to despise and curse you. Anyone can design a form that is put in the inbox never to reach the outbox. Anyone can design a form to lose more business than you can measure because you don’t know how many forms are never completed.

Working For Perception

By Richard Walker | Published 2012/05/03

The problem isn’t in startups though. The problem comes down to how the average employee is perceived and managed in relation to the number of hours they work. The way others perceive your work ethic can mean the difference between being a rising star and going nowhere fast.

How Do You Improve Morale?

By Richard Walker | Published 2012/04/24

In an organization, morale is based on three key attributes. The first is your company culture, which is comprised of your beliefs, values and goals. These qualities define the basis for morale. If your team shares your company’s core beliefs then they have the foundation for being happy and having a positive energy that affects the entire team.

Efficiency Gives You More Than You Pay For

By Richard Walker | Published 2012/04/17

Long-term, hidden costs are hard to see when you’re choosing a technology. As you assess the expected results of the solution, also anticipate how much burden or relief the solution adds to your company’s capacity. The most efficient solutions are ones that free up time for everyone in your company, not just the end user.

What A Leader Must Do

By Richard Walker | Published 2012/04/10

Individuality and independence requires your leadership. You should be the first to follow you! Set your standards and live up to them. Define your rules and live by them. Be the person you want to be so others can see you as someone worth following. Leadership may only require one follower, but even a single follower is a hard-won feat.

A Tradeshow You Can Win At!

By Richard Walker | Published 2012/04/03

Three kinds of people go to tradeshows: those who want solutions, those who solve problems and those who bring the two together. Having played all three of those roles throughout my career I know it’s a challenge to design a conference that maximizes the value for everyone.

Why Are We Even Talking About Forms?!?

By Richard Walker | Published 2012/03/28

The first step is perhaps the easiest but least addressed. Most forms in use today are not professionally designed. Rather, they’re given to any available person in the company who can control a mouse resulting in form designs that cannot be automated.

Your Best Work Is Efficient

By Richard Walker | Published 2012/03/15

When you’re doing something other than your best work, you end up taking more time and doing a lower quality job than someone else. More importantly, if you’re not doing your best work then you’re probably doing someone else’s best work. Do what you love and do best, and let others do the rest. This is a simple approach to delegation and efficiency.

You’re Gonna Buy That Old Thing?!?

By Richard Walker | Published 2012/03/06

Our role at Arthur Andersen was to help our clients buy technology to improve their business and focus on the future. How could I do that when the future was the internet and what we were selling wasn’t? It wasn’t the fault of my bosses and peers, per se, rather customers often prefer ‘tried and true’ methods.
