Different generations have different opinions about work. These days, your Boomers are headed toward retirement while your younger employees are coming in with fewer skills.

What can you do to ensure that you’re bringing in—and retaining—employees who are right for your organization? Amp up recruitment and spend the time and money necessary to develop your team. But more importantly, keep your employees engaged by giving them a reason to be passionate about their jobs.

Managing for Both Bottom and Top Line Performance- DVD

Free Online Preview

Managers have spent the past few years in a bunker mentality, ruled by cost-cutting and bottom-line retrenchment. Now that headcount and expenses have been cut to the bone, attention to the top line must once again reign supreme. The future will be unforgiving if you don't know where to focus for maximum performance, and growth will be necessary for survival. Paradoxically, the secret is to draw on the old-fashioned values of hiring the right people, training, communicating, and motivating. As Rodek explains, your goal must be a company-wide commitment to teamwork and accountability, with a focus on the customer, and a common belief that profit is the only effective test of performance.

Customers found themselves being told what to do, and sales dropped. Bosworth advises that the best sales strategies allow customers to sell themselves on your solutions. $129.99 [Add to Cart]
