Filed under: All in a day's work, Articles, Career, Entrepreneurship, management
Would you believe that an effective way to keep your people happy is by firing away the unhappy ones?
Sounds like a joke? Jay Goltz really hoped it was.
Goltz, who owns five small businesses in Chicago, shared his secret in keeping happy employees in the company in the report from Yahoo! Finance.
Admitting that he doesn’t have a Ph. D., an M.B.A. or any economics degree, Goltz said that he had learned through times that you cannot make everyone happy.

Tailor-fit your resume
You think you got it right. You have the most impressive resume that will catch the attention of any discriminating HR manager. Immediately, you printed a number of copies and sent them to every multi-national companies you can send to, confident that soon enough your phone will be ringing like crazy.
Days passed, no calls were received. No big deal, you said. A week passed and still no calls… and another week… and another week. You started to get worried.

Don’t shoot down ideas
Ideas abound, sometimes even from the most unlikely source in the corporation. That is why some foreign companies are even holding ideas blitz on a regular basis, if not annually. So they can encourage their employees to voice out their two-cent worth of ideas. And surprisingly, from this blitz of ideas out comes a jewel that can help the organization increased their earnings from great innovations, or even help them save from their expenses.
Sadly though, this is not always the case on our local organizations. With Filipinos who are known to be sensitive people, any new idea is often treated as a rejection of their current tried and tested system. Believe me, I have personally experienced this.

When is reading books not good? When it’s all that you do… there’s nothing wrong in reading self-help, self-improvements, management and business books. But they are all useless if the learnings that these books are teaching are not applied.
Next to attending seminars and actual classes, reading books is a great way to gain knowledge in anything, whether it be in business, arts, personal development and so on. Books on business and entrepreneurship, as well as management and leadership, are not lacking in titles. From Robert Kiyosaki, Donald Trump, Zig Ziglar, John Maxwell to our very own Francisco Colayco, Francis Kong, Larry Gamboa and even Bo Sanchez! These guys have written books that would help anybody – from the business novice to the seasoned entrepreneur.

Where to find jobs after graduation
In a few weeks’ time, our college seniors will finally graduate (again, congratulations Sir Mon!)… and then, the inevitable will follow – you need to find a job!
With already a hundred of Filipinos nowadays being jobless, what are the chances of the new graduates landing a job in the first few months of their job hunting?
Aside from the ‘experience’ factor, they actually have as much chance of passing (or failing) as the ‘seasoned’ job hunters.
