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.

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.

Success Depends On Your Health

By Richard Walker | Published 2012/02/23

Talking to other CEOs, most agree that if they don’t take care of themselves, they won’t be able to effectively manage the serious problems and issues their role demands of them. Whether due to illness or burning out on stress or simply being an irritable jerk to be around, CEOs must not forget to take care of themselves.

Do Or Don’t, But Decide And Go!

By Richard Walker | Published 2012/02/16

There’s a reason leaders are followed: they make decisions. Making a decision isn’t the hard part. It’s sticking with that decision and moving forward quickly that’s hard. And if you think it’s hard to decide which blouse to wear today, or which task to work on first, or what to make for breakfast, then you’re going to find making big decisions even harder.
