It's often said "In debt? Use a credit card?
The 10 Best Interview Questions to Ask
When your interviewer wraps up your job interview by asking if you have any questions, you might think that he or she is finished assessing you, but that's not quite the case. Interviewers draw conclusions about you based on the questions you ask—or don't ask. You don't want to give the impression that you're not very interested in the job, or that you're only concerned about the compensation. 1. This question shows that you don't have blinders on in the excitement about a new job; you recognize that every job has difficult elements and that you're being thoughtful about what it will take to succeed in the position. 2. This question shows that you're thinking beyond the interview and that you're visualizing what it will be like to do the work itself. 3. Asking this shows that you're thinking in the same terms that a manager does—about what the position needs to contribute to the team or company to be worthwhile. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.
Three Rules for Making a Company Truly Great
Much of the strategy and management advice that business leaders turn to is unreliable or impractical. That’s because those who would guide us underestimate the power of chance. Gurus draw pointed lessons from companies whose outstanding results may be nothing more than random fluctuations. Executives speak proudly of corporate achievements that may be only lucky coincidences. Unfortunately, almost no one provides scientifically credible answers to every business leader’s basic questions about superior performance: Which companies are worth studying? Frustrated by the lack of rigorous research, we undertook a statistical study of thousands of companies, and eventually identified several hundred among them that have done well enough for a long enough period of time to qualify as truly exceptional. 1. 2. 3. The rules don’t dictate specific behaviors; nor are they even general strategies. Beyond Truisms We tackled the randomness problem head-on.

Entretien d'évaluation : 30 ans de pratique, 30 ans d'inefficacité?
L'entretien individuel "a perdu de son sens, créé des tensions, de l'anxiété et du mal-être", avance Arabelle Laurans de Faÿ, directrice du Learn Lab, laboratoire d'innovation managériale filiale du cabinet conseil HR Valley, qui présentait, le mardi 26 mars, les résultats de son enquête qualitative réalisée auprès d'une dizaine de sociétés. Des oublis patents Aux yeux des salariés et aussi des DRH, les critiques de cet outil sont, en effet, légion. La crise économique a rendu, tout d'abord, les résultats chiffrés plus difficiles à évaluer. C'est pourtant de ce rendez-vous "que découlent les formations, l'évolution de carrière mais aussi les augmentations", note le cabinet conseil. Notamment, la part variable de rémunération dans un contexte d'individualisation des salaires. Mesurer le comportement : un terrain dangereux Surtout, l'entretien annuel prend en compte des critères qualitatifs en tentant d'évaluer des notions aussi subjectives que la curiosité, l'ingéniosité ou le courage.

And — once they know the “what” and “how” — do you provide them with enough autonomy to get the job done in an effective and timely way? These are pragmatic business issues that all leaders encounter. Here are a few thoughts on how you can more effectively address these issues and reach your goals in an authentic and enduring way. Collaboratively Develop The “What” And The “How” Before anything else, you engage stakeholders in a conversation about where you are, where you want to go, and how to get there. When I was CEO of Campbell Soup Company, we used a balanced scorecard to create an explicit understanding of each employee in terms of what they were expected to accomplish, including financial objectives, market share objectives and key project objectives. Declare Yourself — and Live By Your Commitments Respect Autonomy
