It might be well said that understanding and influencing the minds of consumers / your boss in the marketplace is a key to understanding either business success or alternatively your longevity at the workplace / work site.

Positioning is now recognized ( by many authorities)  as a fundamental – or at least a major underpinning – for market driven companies – at least in the scheme and schemes of manage mold  or perhaps better said – moulds.

Positioning is strategic, and it’s main purpose  ( perhaps) is to differentiate  the company from all it’s competitors  in people’s or perhaps “victim’s “  minds.  It is thus sometimes referred to as the “Battle for the Minds”  or better put “Battle for or of the “little minds”".

Why , or perhaps alternatively put – this is because positioning involves not so much what people perceive  but rather what ….. you do.    Thus this is what makes positioning and its ultimate purposes and powers  a most difficult challenge and set of challenges for most companies , enterprises and organizations in that it seeks an ultimate goal or set of goals of associations in people’s minds, that is to establish what the company , group or products mean to their lives.

Its not unlike peer pressure in a biker gang , and wanabees being told “You are not part of the group….. do you see how they are looking at you..”

An apparently most important point and concept that often gets forgotten or waylaid in the writing of these important “memos “  to the troops is to always explain and mention the reason or reasons for said memo.

This might be said it is akin to the victim of  a lynch mob being explained why he is hanging from the noose.  If it is readily apparent – good , if not the reason may be the event is occuring because their is no logical reason by any means , forms or rational explanation.   Yet the powers that be will go out of their way to make sense and rationality out an apparent non-rational even arbritatry choice or decision.  Ultimately it comes down to “It has been decided”

The example might be given of a test given in a standard form by a well known forensic psychologist.

The story is told and elaborated that at the  funeral of her mother a young lady meets a man of her dreams.  She has never met nor related to any person  by this means previously what so ever.  Two weeks later this young lady savagely murders her sister for no apparent reason.  What is the reason ?  Can you explain this – subjects being interviewed and assessed were asked.

The answer that those who were labelled psycopaths – indeed this may well be a very good test of  “management potential”  was that the girl killed her sister – because she knew at the funeral that she would meet that man or a similar personality yet again.

Somehow this makes great rational sense both in the mind of psycpaths  and past , present and future managers as well as those with “management potential”

Write Me a Memo

Some interesting points for management on “how to send a memo”

It might be said that the purpose of a memo often is to show staff  “who is boss” or alternatively put to make an appearance to either pretend that the writer is around important  or is around or in the limelight

In many cases   ( if not most) , the writer of the memo should either of stayed in bed or followed the adage – attributed to Abraham Lincoln that it is better to keep one’s mouth shut and have people think that you are an idiot rather than open one’s mouth and reaffirm this. (paraphrased)

Here are some points and pointers for writing a memo dealing with “legal opinions”.  Follow these and check out , as well as verify if any of  the current memos that you have received or been the victim of have followed these rules and precepts ?

Remember the adage “I am the Boss and the rule are mine”

Its not all unlike a two year old holding in their bowel movements as a show of force

1) Don’t lapse into gibberish intelligible only to your occupational species

2) Don’t write in the abstract to “Everyman”".  Picture your readers and write to them as you would explain the situation for their specific applications

3) Don’t bury important ideas in long sentences and paragraphs

4) Don’t simply restate a law or the contract’s wording.  Make application to the question at hand

5) Don’t make the reader look elsewhere for contract details to understand the basic message

6) Lastly do not be wordy.  Cut the legalisms from your memo;  redundant synonyms ( last will and testament, maintenance and upkeep, null and void):  ready made subject introductions that could fit into any number of opinions on the same subject matter , unnecessary quotes that you could paraphrase, formal -isms  ( party of the first party) ,   plain old everyday repitition

The list goes on and on

Ultimately it must be always remembered and noted – most memos are seldom read or at the best given one short cursory look over

It is as if the person the person who writes the memo does so to hear themselves “talk”  not to make any valid or useful point or add value to the conversation or to the world

You may well have heard the phrase bantered around “Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs’ or roughly translated girls go to Clear Lake to find a boyfriend and guys …..
Or put another way “Paradigm shift’ as quoted by the management consultant Harold Howden – “at the sales meeting all of these suits were repeating the phrase “”Paradigm Shift”….. I had no idea what they meant….. you mean its like the farmer’s wife who kissed the cow because she wanted to ”

To a large degree , good communication requires mutual understanding a two way street. and adequate information about the subjects on hand involved. Lol when it comes to your boss. His only concern may be in getting into the customer’s pants.

Empathy ? Forget that.

Empathy means in general situating yourself to understand a situation. Communication has to improve to the degree that a person can see, sense and fully “feel” what the other person is seeing , comprehending or understanding. Lots of luck when you have a closed mind , that is all about power and inflicting your own power over others.

“The rules are golden and they are my rules’

Ultimately intelligent and wise people learn in life that ultimately you can control very little in life – not even yourself to the greatest degree so don’t even try.
Yet many a boss , manager or supervisor has “died trying”
Reminds one of a slogan outside a live bait shop “Our bait will catch fish or die trying”
Hope that your boss does.

Its an amazing example to deal with “older ” people who wish to acquire computer skills.  The exercise illustrates previous “business models”  and mores of management.

One must remember that in North America’s heyday – after WW2 , women went “back into the kitchen”, after running the war output , industrial Europe was devastated.  North America had its pick of any of the best workers that Europe – Germany and the UK – England Scotland had to offer , and life went merrily along.

In the 60′s if you did not “like your job”  then walked away – and “just got another”

Try that procedure and policy on for size now

Still the interesting part is that with many older people who have come up with the conclusion that they want a computer – especially women with laptops as they are cute , a key factor that comes into play is the absolute disavowal of learning typing skills.  Even when asked “What do you want to do with your new computer ? ….. and it is best to learn to type otherwise how else are you going to use your new computer comes the horror of the request and then the emphatic put down statement “(Royal WE)  Do not want to learn to / will not / do not will not TYPE!” .  End of statement.

In seems all in all , in summary that in most business offices that the typist was the lowest form of life in the organization.  Thus no matter the benefits, no matter the basis of keyboard entry in the world of pcs and computers to many older persons computer data entry in the world of pcs shows all the previous prejudice in the world of management of the 1960′s ( if not today)

A most amazing case – and yet an example to learn from

A former legend in his own mind actually placed in his blog his interests “Love to read. The last time I was in prison I read all of John Grisham’s  books

Amazing .  A real manager with values , value statements etc etc.

What can we lead from this .   First the power and powers of personal delusion.  Secondly the fact of always having to be on top.  Even in prison there is no remorse for the actions he took against others or means of repent or asking forgiveness of others.  Never at fault.  One might imagine that this is personal statement of always finding the silver lining.  Not so its a case of I am never wrong , the rules are golden and they are my rules

Lastly one of  delusional self seeking behavior to the nth degree

Many – if not most people would do fine on their jobs if it were not for their boss or manager

And yet not only do most people survive on their jobsite – in spite of “management “  and “I am the boss “  syndrome

The amazing part is just like highly paid civil servants ( who are most cases are simply putting in time) , these authorities actually believe that

1) The world could certainly not survive without them and their input

2) Everyone else is a peon – and in the case of most civil servants – everyone else is a thief – who on top of it all are not worth their pay by any means

Yet how does a person cope – or even survive in a job that they do not like and perhaps even “hate”

Firstly focus on what you really want instead of daydreaming and working out in your mind’s eye of how much you want to escape or really not want to be in the “here and now”

No doubt about it you will have already established well that your job at present is not “where you really want to be”.  However where do you really want to be ? Plan your alternate road map and means of getting there. That should not be incredibly difficult.

Think back to that fateful job interview ( which was long tossed away once you were hired and became slave and victim # 1)

What are your strengths ?  What are your weaknesses  ?  Lastly the key “You look like a person to me that knows where they want to be !  Where do you want to be in 1 year , 2 years / 5 years ?”
Now those were your original plans .  Is it not time to refocus your efforts back to your game plan ?  Is this just not a temporary detour from your plans ?

Remember Einstein used a dull job as a Swiss patent clerk as the opportunity to be able to finish and polish his manuscript on the Theory of Relativity to good purpose.

Isn’t this such a similar , wonderful situation for you ?
In summary the glass can be half full or half empty depending on how you view it.  Simple as that.

The Boss Came Back

Is there a way to do the above but yet still retain your personal dignity and self of self ? Afraid not my dear. The best you can do is hope that these events happen in far off Greenland or perhaps off the road or in a truck stop on the way to Fort McMurray .  Better yet leave your boss by the roadside in the dead of winter far away from any visible sources of transportation , phone service or any availability or potential for help.

After all would he not of treated you in this manner , or has done many many times.

To be or not to to be.

You might think that your boss or supervisor was put on earth by the creator him or herself for that very role in the universe – in the creation of things , events , places and situations in the entire universe .

How grandiose and downright preposterous .

You might well think that your manager grew up in the family of an alcoholic top down management style  of  the Romans,  a biker gang , General Motors or perhaps the railway.

Some things remain in the blood so to speak , and can never be learnt over , or unlearned.

What a waste of time.  Most people somehow complete their work, satisfy their customer base all somehow working around or in spite of their management  and  “head office”

Perhaps it can be viewed that the creator put your boss on earth as a personal test to yourself , your work ethics , morals and scruples.

You may well , in your past life , attended an interview and felt that the interviewer was more nervous ( and even more foolish than you being at the interview , or even not to smart for working for the particular firm or boss in the first place).

What to do ?  The first answer is to be polite and perhaps even deferential.  After all the person may have a better reason for being there – that is often than a case of “management on the brain” or hero worship. Perhaps they are supporting their sick mother or dog , and they need the money to support the family or these “causes”.

All in all , its best to be quiet . Polite   Get the interview over quickly. Leave.  Never think about such foolish and stupid things again.

Always remember the parable of “Chicken little”

The Blinded Leading the Blind

Try to figure this out as a good example of gobbledygook.
“The next four chapters are each organized around each of the major themes just set out, which encompass our theory of trans formative leadership and empowerment. Starting now emphasis will shift from the leader as an individual with certain personal attributes of an organization. Putting it more precisely. Our focus will change from leader effectiveness. Accordingly. The next four chapters will address the implementation of our theory or how more simply, leaders empower organizations.

Empower organizations? Empower individuals? This is slavery by words and deeds if one can only get out of the mire and muck of elusive and flighty logic that is add odds with itself and as well impossible to comprehend in any full , understandable or enlightening manner of thought or pattern. A paradox of paradigms. The blind leading the blinded.

Another standard interview question or query that indeed evolved into a classic joke with a punchline is along the lines of   “If you could be anyone in the world who would you like to be or have you often wished you were born as someone else in another family setting ?”  In the humorous version the answer given to the puzzled interviewer is  “Alberta Pipilini”  .  The puzzled interviewer ponders the answer  – not understanding the answer or knowing who the person of fame  Alberta Pipiliniis or where she resides , and in what capacity.

This is a psychological question  with deep hidden  inner meanings and desires revealed.

It turns out that when the interviewer reframes the question – that the person in question is not  person in the flesh but rather the oil pipeline of Alberta (Canada)  (Alberta pipeline) , who the interviewee ( most likely female) , and  that “Alberta Pipelini was laid by a thousand men in the course of six months”.

Well at least the interview question ruled out one candidate on the grounds of intelligence or perhaps helped choose a new executive secretary for the boss.

It can be said that “there are only so many hours in a day”.

Take the case of one hapless employee / drone  / slave who attempted to have an intelligent (?) conversation with a manager concerning this manner.  The employee in question was a hard working , dedicated individual who saw his role as being productive , to cover the territory so to speak and produce results – and ultimately sales of the firm’s products , profit at the end of the year for the firm and ultimately a personal image for the enterprise in a most competitive industry , in which this particular firm was a pimple , a disturbance among giants to their competitors.

It seemed in retrospect to the victim ( the employee trying to make a simple point ) , that his superior was an abusive individual , on a power trip , coming off a drinking bender.  Instead of welcoming the query as a general question by a loyal , hard working employee who he should of been grateful to have , the direct perfect saw it as a direct threat to his authority in the workplace – even though there were no others present in the meeting , or indeed from the company in the town itself.

The boss saw it simply as a threatening  case of the “troops starting up”.  In essence a direct threat to his person , his power and his prestige in the whole setting , his managerial position ( which of course the underling lived to upsurb and posess).

The agent of managerial power then leapt into a reflex action .  ” Lets do a quickie analysis”, be begun .  “How much time does an average call to a customer take ?”.  When the employee answered that the depended on the individual customer.  On top of that paper work had to be done accurately otherwise the employee / firm would be held liable for the cost and price differences directly.  Again the manager asked the question – “How long does an average call take ?”.  OK then we will give you a certain amount ( totally a low figure devoid of reality and showing no practical experience by the superior what so ever in the real world and with real world customer activities.”.  “You are the customer’s door for these specific calls in the morning from 7 am to noon”.  We will give you 15 minutes travel time ( average time of any journey generally in the worker’s experience was at least half an hour.  On top of the walk from any parking lot – be it a mall or a downtown area from the auto in the parking lot to the customer’s location..  XXX you multiply it out .  The manager proudly announced to the underling – “Do you realize that you are   % 19.73 per cent efficient.

It was at this point that the subject employee in this fable and noteworthy tale realized that he was simply dealing with idiots. Wjo on earth would promote such a moron, as well as stand behind his harassment of employees , ignore a substance abuse problem.  On top of that it the employee was still gainfully employed with such a record – then he should be terminated.  If the employee was turning good numbers then the tables should be turned.  It should he that person not the supervisor who should conduct meetings and instruct employees on the means and ways of their duties.

What motivates employees ?

A good question.  What motivates employees at one point in their life may differ from other points in their lives.

Get a boss who is a young stud – a drinker , a womanizer , one who looks to screw any potential female ( or who knows what ) no matter that she may be a major client’s daughter or whatever and all you will get are financial rewards as the only measure of incentive.  Worse yet explain , or try to explain to these types that there are alternatives , and the concept of flexibility – and this may well , or always be regarded as a threat to their management status or that you are a poor employee.  “I think that you don’t like money”  was the refrain barked out to a new young father who tried to escape the world’s stupidest project dreamed up while the boss was corked on a Friday afternoon.

The comedy was that the boss had been set up by the employee at a client’s office to keep him busy and out of trouble .

One of the influential clients at hand at the spectacle remarked “He sure thinks a lot of himself”

Another pointed out “Pour a couple of drinks ( many in this case , far too many) , and watch what happens.

What a bunch of morons !

There are only so many hour in the day that get “wasted” since employees insist on basic habits of eating , sleeping, and even procreating. The belief structure among many management and supervisory types is that these can be simply reduced, if not eliminated by forcing poor workers to work longer and longer hours on in the end unpaid “overtime”. Either be quiet, or you won’t be working here is the mantra so to speak.

To serve these purposes , and to complete the internalizations of the said employee it might be best for him or her not even to refer to these time periods worked for the organization not as unpaid overtime but rather as “commitment to professionalism” or “the reason you get your bonus.”.

Talk about the book 1984 with its Orwellian tales of doublespeak and mind control.

In the end it goes under the guise of “Be glad that you have a job” and management bonuses for their efficiencies at keeping costs and labor costs in line. Reminds you of organized crime who are able to run businesses due to low input costs – the goods have invariably been stolen elsewhere and have low direct costs to the said business.

Selling Out

Selling out is “selling out”  your principles.  Although it is and seems wrong you may have to do from time to time.  Perhaps your boss is an idiot – a moron – who believes by kytowing you he has great power.  It is an interesting lesson in life that in the end we have little control over much of anything.  And yet many live their lives in a vain attempt to control others – even declaring it in grandiose terms such as “The Rules are Golden and THEY ARE MY RULES”.  You would expect  such thoughts and management behavior from the Gestapo not in a business where the end result is supposed to be productivity not control of others.  And yet many management types act in this vain attempt that somehow that they have great control overs  ( at least in front of their faces).   They probably fall asleep ( if not in a drunken stupor) of repeating this mantra of “The Rules are Golden and They are MY RULES”.   King of the playpen , Morons of the world

Perks of Management

It can often be the situation – that bringing in an outside expert can hurt more than help.  Hinder more than any way help.  It has been oft quoted than an expert is any one 50 – 75 miles away from home. In these days of rapid transport – that is a small commute.  Luckily the high cost of gasoline may deal with this plague.

At least the scourge and abuse of high gas prices has one benefit – perhaps less intimidation and abuse of visiting privileges by management and “outside consultants”.   Perhaps now before they get in the car they will think of the cost of gas before they drive.  That is unless they have the perks of a company car and gas card.  Then it may be of their benefit to use the card to show their power ( entitlement)  and just as importantly dilute their own personal mileage.

A perk of management can well be said to be anything in the realm of management payment and rewards that cannot be justified.

Obama Upcoming

In retrospect it can be seen that Obama could of been judged ahead of time-  if you or the average American had only compared him to any of your previous bosses , management or supervisors that you may have encountered or suffered through in life or in your work career.

First of all the guy spouts slogans – “Agent of Change…..”  rah , rah , rah

Sort of sounds like your boss – who knows little – has little experience but is going to tell you what to do – all with a sort of smile and twinkle in his eyes – the look of the kiss of death

He knows everything .  “I accept responsibility …..”  …………   ………. …….

Yet when confronted with evidence of wrongdoing – lies , evades and backpedals.

He / she / it advises you on proactive planning  , has you complete extensive business plans…… etc.

Big on self evaluation – for the better for you in your case- yet when confronted that he sat through a racist demigod speeches – news to me ….. I never hear this…… etc etc etc

Yet when confronted that his biggest friends and buddies had terrible pasts – bombers etc -  he was a fine person and authority figure in the Chicago community.

The list goes on .   Americans you have nobody to blame but your own foolishness.

Look in the mirror.

Citing Contrary Evidence

More works from the wise or the “bosses training handbook or manual”.

The American comic and comedian Woody Allen noted in his classic film Anny Hall that “Those that cannot do teach.  Those that cannot teach , teach gym.”  In today’s world they become your boss , supervisor or “manager”.   It can be said that in the manager’s instruction manual (s) either the pages are blank, or have only one page “Hello my friend”  or ” Always start with something positive”.

Here is yet another example entitled “Citing Contrary Evidence’.  From a damage control standpoint , one of the most difficult situations ti manage in the employment interview is having to disclose that you were evaluated by a current or former boss or that you or the boss simply did not get along”  .. How you manage these topics will certainly have a major impact on interviewing results and is therefore worthy of some careful planning on your part.”

You moron – why not either be quiet or simply tell the truth  ?

Any of a number of outward manifestations or traits can well provide a better idea , an insight or insights into what your boss / supervisor / manager is really like and what really portends his mind or what perhaps goes on his / her or its little mind.

Never mind the little chatter ( none of which is off the cuff) that comes out of their mouths. What is really going on . What are the real concerns and area of focus ? That is other than getting into power – to be in the real position to effect change towards what they feel is “right ” “proper” or to drive that big new Cadillac perk – never mind that the vehicle of choice has now moved on to new models and types. So much for progressive proactive thinking. Its all still way back there in the “stone age”.

As an example and case in point one manager went on at great lengths regarding a discussion he had with a novice , and still relatively untouched , marketing type. The conversation was about the skills – or better simply put coercive management skills of Atilla the Hun. Atilla was widely successful in conquering and tormenting vast areas of geography. He was known as the evil Rasputin of his day. Still he not only was successful , he was an effective manner of men. Atilla did not do the work himself but by command of the troops. The summary of Atilla’s management style was that troops showed loyalty to Atilla and Atilla rewarded the troops.   It all depends which side of the fence or side you are on .     Good and evil is only subjective.  If you are on Atilla’s side the rape and pillage and rewards would be great.  If on the other side of the victims’  then not so good.  The message to any listeners was ” I am a bastard ” but if you show loyalty to me and my projects I will reward you greatly. “Get with the program”
