We have all heard about the importance of getting all the details taken care of and getting them handled right. That’s true for wills, contracts, recipes, blueprints and lots of other things.

Entrepreneurship has been defined by many psychologists and researchers in different terms having more or less the same meaning. Richard Cantillon, an Irishman, first defined the term entrepreneur and its unique risk bearing character, for the first time in the 18th century. But it is Alan Jacobowitz, a professor of psychology, who developed a series of indicators to identify entrepreneurs. The Jacobwitz theory calls these indicators different stages of the entrepreneur: 1. Early... more...

Stock certificates enable shareholders to get in direct contact with the company. Shareholers can use stock certificates as collateral in order to obtain a loan. If ... more...

Corporate Resolutions are the record of the actions, motions or proceedings undertaken in the Board Meeting and the shareholder meeting. Generally, companies record the decisions, taken in the meeting of the Board of Directors or shareholder meeting, for future reference.

The shareholders ... more...

Since a corporation is under the management of the board of directors, several corporate activities need to be put to vote before they can be implemented.

The board of directors can pass some resolutions, the shareholders can pass some resolutions, and sometimes both the shareholders and the board of directors need to pass resolutions. The Board of Directors agrees upon these corporate activities and the shareholders p... more...

While most corporations, big and small, profess to work in partnership with every element of their work force, they only pay it token regard. Yet working in partnership with all, helps all to realize their dreams, and when this happens an enormous amount of energy and intelligence is released. This, in turn, creates smoother, more productive processes and a spike in the bottom line. Working in most corporations is a place of power struggles, where the rules that define the organiza... more...

Believe it or not, delegation consistently turns up on the list of failure factors for the big change maneuvers that we call Red Zones, from reengineering to big system implementations, from mergers to culture changes. (Red Zone is our term for a big change … a “make it big or break it bad” change) In this pathology top management delegates Red Zone leadership to unprepared underlings as though it were a hot potato or a grenade with the pin removed. But why delegation at this critical tim... more...

But in the world of face to face customer interactions- a smile really is an important behavior to demonstrate. What are some of the other behaviors ... more...

If marketing is how sales are made, then a marketing plan is about figuring out how sales will be made. Developing a good plan is a way to overcome your shortcomings and increase yo... more...
