Perfect Your Personal Elevator Pitch
To find a job, you need to be ready to market yourself at any time. Make sure you're equipped with the right pitch—don't be afraid to toot your own horn, and don't waste time reiterating your resume. Instead, state in one concrete sentence what makes you so effective. Talking about the impact you've had—and can continue to have—is much more compelling than listing your experience. For example, one assistant said of herself, "I can make any boss shine." Speak at a pace that shows you are calm and confident. Practice your pitch often. And remember that jobs don't just come from interviews. Use any opportunity you have to deliver your pitch—at family gatherings, in waiting rooms, or at the coffee shop. Don't wait for the elevator.

How to spot exceptional talent
Most companies say they have trouble finding the right people these days. A new book argues that identifying brilliant hires depends on a willingness to abandon the usual criteria.
By Anne Fisher, contributor
FORTUNE -- In retrospect, the biggest blunders often seem inexplicable. Four different book publishers, for instance, passed on J.K. Rowling's first Harry Potter novel. A weird story about the adventures of a juvenile wizard and his friends just didn't seem worth a $5,000 advance. Oops.
According to author George Anders, a Pulitzer Prize-winning editor at The Wall Street Journal, most big companies make comparable mistakes all the time. For a new book, The Rare Find: Spotting Exceptional Talent Before Everyone Else, Anders set out to analyze how some of the most successful enterprises choose extraordinary new hires.
What he found will come as no surprise to anyone who has worked with someone who looked good on paper but turned out to be less than stellar in action.
Instead of insisting on a rigid set of credentials, Anders says, hiring managers ought to focus on what the job really requires and give a fair shot to candidates whose resumes may be what Anders calls "jagged," or full of ups and downs.
Someone whose background "appears to teeter on the edge between success and failure," he writes, can do "spectacular work in the right settings, where their strengths dramatically outweigh their flaws."
Consider, for example, legendary Facebook engineer Evan Priestley. He had changed his college major three times before dropping out altogether, and was working as a low-level web designer at a small firm in Portland, Me., when, in 2007, he happened to come across a programming puzzle that Facebook had put out over the Internet. Priestley's solution was so elegant that Facebook flew him to Palo Alto for an interview, where he impressed everyone with his skills.
Facebook hired him, and the rest is legend: Priestley led a team of programmers that sped up Facebook's infrastructure and made it easier to add games, maps, and other applications.
At one point, Facebook's site stopped working for a small group of users who, it turned out, were hampered by an obscure, out-of-date security program. The only publicly available manual was written in Danish. No problem! Priestley and a coworker stayed up all night learning enough Danish -- mastering terms like foutmelding and beveilaging -- to untangle the trouble.
The point: If hiring managers had considered only Priestley's lackluster resume, he'd never have gotten a foot in the door.
Drawing on other case studies from organizations as diverse as the FBI, the National Basketball Association, General Electric (GE), and (a cautionary tale) Enron, this is thought-provoking stuff for anybody who's frustrated with trying to find exceptional talent using the same, tired old methods. The Rare Find is also a rare find in itself: A business book that is actually fun to read.

Warren Buffett, "I could end the deficit in 5 minutes"
Warren Buffett, "I could end the deficit in 5 minutes," he told CNBC. "You just pass a law that says that anytime there is a deficit of more than 3% of GDP, all
sitting members of Congress are ineligible for re-election. The 26th
amendment (granting the right to vote for 18 year-olds) took only 3 months
& 8 days to be ratified! Why? Simple! The people demanded it. That was in
1971...before computers, e-mail, cell phones, etc. Of the 27 amendments to
the Constitution, seven (7) took 1 year or less to become the law of the
land...all because of public pressure.
Warren Buffet is asking each addressee to forward this email to a minimum of
twenty people on their address list; in turn ask each of those to do
likewise.
In three days, most people in The United States of America will have the
message. This is one idea that really should be passed around.
*Congressional Reform Act of 2011*
1. No Tenure / No Pension. A Congressman collects a salary while in office
and receives no pay when they are out of office.
2. Congress (past, present & future) participates in Social Security. All
funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social Security
system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security system,
and Congress participates with the American people. It may not be used for
any other purpose.
3. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, just as all Americans
do.
4. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay
will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.
5. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the
same health care system as the American people.
6. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American
people.
7. All contracts with past and present Congressmen are void effective 1/1/12.
The American people did not make this contract with Congressmen. Congressmen
made all these contracts for themselves. Serving in Congress is an honor,
not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, so ours
should serve their term's), then go home and back to work.
If each person contacts a minimum of twenty people then it will only take
three days for most people (in the U.S.) to receive the message. Maybe it is
time.
THIS IS HOW YOU FIX CONGRESS!!!!! If you agree with the above, pass it on.

What is HR's function? If they use technology to screen resumes, What do they do next? How do they know who is a qualified candidate
What is HR's function? If they use technology to screen resumes, What do they do next? How do they know who is a qualified candidate? It seems all the articles I read on HR issues is that they want to be more involved in the "strategy" part of their organization then what they were hired to do. Where's the "human" part? If you can't identify the human solutions for companies, then we need to re-think what human capital is all about.

I was lied to and totally misinformed.
American Digital and HP are hosting an event "The Building Blocks for a Successful Private Cloud" at Arlington Park Race Track Thursday, September 22, 2011. I was going then I was told by an agent of Meet with Success Inc that it was going to be rescheduled. No reason at all. Then I came to find out that it wasn't rescheduled and I was lied to and totally misinformed. They extended an invite to only a select group, which wasn't stated on the emailed invite to me. Called and spoke to Tricia Baglio of Meet With Success, Inc. and was told she would try to make up for this. Well that didn't happen either; the so called person she needed to talk to was in London and would NOT be able to address the situation until next Tues. Maybe they think people in general are stupid. I told them that I would wait until close of business day today before I would post this. Well now I did. It's great to be lied to isn't it. Now to Crain's, Twitter, Fasebook, and others to share my deceitful experience.

WASHINGTON — Michelle Obama says McDonald's decision to add apples to its Happy Meals is a positive step toward solving childhood obesity.
The first lady is heading a nationwide effort to reverse childhood obesity rates. She recently joined major retailers, including Wal-Mart, to announce plans to open or expand more than 1,500 stores over the next five years in areas without easy access to fresh produce.

Being a Consultant?
You’re fired up about beginning this business! You know what you want to consult on! What now? Before making the leap, its a good idea to know and be able to define 3 things:
1. Is there a market for my services? Who will my customers be?
2. Who else does what I do? In other words, who is the competition?
3. Why am I better than those folks in number 2?

Do What Only You Can Do
The higher up you get in an organization, the more you need to focus on what the company needs from you, not on what you want to do. While management experts advise doing what you are best at, great leaders do those things that only they can do. Figure out what functions only you can perform. These may be tasks that are unique to your role, such as meeting with a key client or calling a top official. Or they may be strengths that the organization lacks, such as solid marketing skills. Gauge how you can be most useful and focus your time and effort there. Then delegate the rest.

Share a Hypothesis Instead of a Directive
While it's your job as a leader to set the direction for your team, unit, or organization, being overly commanding deprives your people of a sense of ownership. Next time you sit down with your team, instead of saying, "This is my view about where the project should head," try proposing a hypothesis. You can say, "Here's my tentative view of the path we should take, but I could be wrong." Then encourage your team to disagree with you. Of course, you must be willing to discard or modify your hypothesis if someone comes up with a better solution. This approach will encourage debate and give people permission to
voice concerns.

Save Your Company from Reorg Misery
In response to less than stellar results, many managers overhaul the team, unit, or organization. While reorgs give the appearance of action, they often create unnecessary complexity and dysfunction. Here are three ways to make your organization work the way it is:
Analyze the current structure. Ask yourself whether the problem is structure or how you're managing it. Most organizations work if leaders set the right goals, hold people accountable, and streamline processes.
Don't compensate for personalities. Don't design an organization around personalities. Instead of accommodating people, help them do the jobs they are slated to do.
Align structure with strategy. Many leaders allow strategies to evolve without doing the same for the structure of their organizations. Don't hang on to an arrangement just because it worked in the past. Be willing to change when it's required.

3 Signs You Need to Broaden Your Focus
The lens through which leaders view the world can help or hinder their ability to make good decisions. If your lens is too narrow, you risk making everything all about yourself or your team. While it can be helpful to see the fine points, you might be missing the big picture. Here are three signs it might be time to zoom out:
1. You're overwhelmed by details. Being too focused on small things can be overpowering. Ask yourself what really matters most and focus on that.
2. You put yourself first. A tight focus doesn't leave room for others. Consider the needs of those around you.
3. You treat every situation as unique. Narrowly focused leaders tend to reinvent many wheels because they treat every project or issue separately. Look for similar situations to use as analogies and make your job easier.
Today's Management Tip was adapted from "Zoom In, Zoom Out" by Rosabeth Moss Kanter.

3 Tips for Giving Your New Boss Feedback
APRIL 11, 2011
Giving your manager feedback can be nerve-racking, especially if you've never done it before. Yet, many strong work relationships are based on openly sharing advice and input. If you have a new boss, or are providing her with feedback for the first time, here are three tips to make it go smoothly:
1. Determine willingness to listen. Before you say anything, assess whether your boss is open to hearing what you have to say. Make sure the payoff is worth the risk of
upsetting her.
2. Schedule it. Don't take your boss by surprise. Let her know you want to discuss an important issue in private.
3. Gauge reaction. Present the feedback directly and accurately. Watch her body language to be sure you aren't alienating her. You can check in by occasionally asking, "Does this make sense?"

Get Your Good People to Stay
Few leaders succeed without great talent supporting them. So retaining your star employees is not only good for the company, but for you as leader. Here are three ways to keep your best people around:
* Trust the team. Give your people the opportunity to use their unique strengths every day. Allow them to do what they are best at.
* Make connections. Spend time every day checking in with individuals to see how they're doing — personally and professionally. Avoid private or sensitive topics unless your employee brings them up.
* Respect individuality. Recognize your people's individual needs, and customize assignments, perks, and recognition accordingly.

This is a Co-sponsored Event with the Chicago Booth CEO Roundtable.

Session Overview
Let’s cut through the jargon and the hype and talk about what really works. Now more than ever, new business-to-business relationships are initiated by the buyer. Seller-focused tactics like cold calls and basic advertising continue to be less effective. As a result of new technologies, the way buyers and sellers connect and interact has changed forever. It’s also made modern lead generation more complex. The good news, though, is that there are phenomenal opportunities for those in the know. Will these opportunities benefit you? Or your competitors?
Event Details
The B2B lead generation landscape has changed dramatically. Social media, content distribution, marketing automation and other tools either didn’t exist, or were barely known just a few years ago. These technologies have created incredible opportunities, but just keeping up can be nearly impossible. What are the priorities? How do you make it all work so that you’re finding and capturing more qualified prospects? How can you make your sales efforts more effective?
George Couris, a Member of the CEO Roundtable, and former President of the American Marketing Association Chicago Chapter, will show you how your business can best leverage modern technologies and develop a powerful system to drive leads and generate sales. The presentation will include live, real-world demonstrations and examples of valuable new tools.
Next, Dana VanDen Heuvel will present “30 Social Media Ideas in 30 Minutes.” Dana will showcase multiple mini case-studies showing some of the most creative and effective applications of social media tools and technologies, including significant examples from B2B firms.
After the presentations, George and Dana will take audience questions and lead a powerful discussion on how your company can drive leads and results.
This dynamic presentation will explain and demonstrate some of the top B2B lead generation opportunities:
*
How and when to apply popular social media sites like Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube and Twitter and others to connect with business customers
*
How to automate your marketing campaigns to cultivate relationships with future customers and guarantee you’ll make their short list
*
How to maximize sales effectiveness by tracking behavior to find the best opportunities
*
How to develop a comprehensive plan and approach that delivers better, more measurable results.
Whether your company is small, or a member of the Fortune 500, you’ll get new ideas and gain actionable steps that you can put into place immediately.
Every attendee will also get multiple additional resources, including free e-books and valuable resource guide listing various free and low-cost marketing tools and opportunities that you can leverage immediately.

Expand Your Skills to Stay Relevant
The world of work changes quickly. The skills that make you successful today probably won't be the same forever. This means that whatever your specialty, it's at risk of being outdated soon. You don't need a crystal ball to see what skills you'll need in the future. Instead, actively seek out opportunities that allow you to develop new skills, gain different experiences, and expand your networks. You may not need to open multiple career paths right now, but doing this will create more alternative futures. Don't forget to think about what value these new skills bring to your organization. Being valuable is another way to expand your future options.
