- Teleconference Etiquette is Your Key to Successful Teleconferencing
The world has changed greatly in the past few decades and businesses have had to adapt to keep up. Companies have grown larger, sometimes spreading out into different international markets. Communication is more crucial than ever but no longer can it be expected that the staff meets in one room. Technology has provided new ways to bridge the communication gap. One of the most useful is the teleconference. New procedures need new etiquette and this is no exception. - Motivating Your Employees - Sound Science
Abraham Maslow devised a Hierarchy of Needs through which he tried to communicate the human's basic concerns and desires. He focused on some of the most intellectual people of his day to base his research. All of the lower levels must be reached before a human can experience the higher levels. The Maslow Hierarchy of Needs incorporates five different levels: Physiological, Safety, Love and Belonging, Esteem, and Self Actualization. - Carrot Or Stick? Transactional Leadership Shows The Way
If you have ever studied Abraham Maslow's "hierarchy of needs," you know that a motivator for many people at lower stages of the hierarchy is whether they will be rewarded or punished for an action. In business, the application of this is that lower-grade employees need clear structures and direction from the higher-ups to feel motivated. For example, an employee in a company should be ready to give up their own agenda and take direction. If you are subordinate to a manager, things work best when you are ready to obey your manager's instructions. - Managers: Retain & Motivate Your Superstars, Break the Golden Rule
It seems so very simple, eh? "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." The Golden Rule seems so all-inclusive that it would be a remedy for all human relations. Just handle everybody the same way you would prefer to be handled and all will flow easily, correct? - Lead Your Meetings - Teleconference Etiquette
Common problems in teleconference calls include excessive background noise, which can be distracting; interruptions by multiple participants; and speakers speaking without introduction, which confuses the listener. Have you ever experienced these problems? Poor facilitating is another cause of teleconference woes; a good facilitator should be able to deal smoothly with participants who interrupt or hog the line.
