Currently I am holding some job interviews for one of my companies. We’ve held job interviews for other positions in the past as well, and there are some things that strike me when I interview these people. Some positive, some negative. Most people do the same thing that all the others do too. So in order to make sure you don’t make those mistakes; I have put together a list of the my best tips.

These tips may well be worth tens, maybe hundreds of thousands of dollars to you. Maybe they will even defy monetary value for you, by giving you something that makes you truly happy: the job of your dreams!

Recently I posted about location independency. This is one of the great opportunities that the Internet has given us. But it also means that we need to adopt our management strategy, to match the location independency of our team. The Results Only Work Environment is a proven strategy used by a few very successful companies (large and small) to do just that.

From time to time we have to bring people bad news. Luckily, we also have good news to bring them now and then, so all is not lost. But how do we make sure that we take advantage of good news, and we minimize the impact of bad news?

The current economic crisis has led to a lot of new insights in how we should deal with our economy. On of those insights is that it seems that big bonuses don’t seem to work well. The banks of who the top executives had huge bonuses, haven’t exactly performed very well. There is a different way to get results, and would you believe me if I told you this has actually been scientifically proven and has been known for over 60 years?
