(STRENGTH IN SYNERGY)TEAM SPIRIT BY PROF. M.SRINIVASA RAO Andrew Carnegie said, “Team work is the ability to work together toward a common vision.

Successful businesses agree. Statements do not make vision a reality. People do: the right people in management and employees, the right shared understanding of the company mission and vision statements and the right actions and goals that support those statements. And both must have real commitment, not merely compliance. Sound too difficult? Well, it is happening and it's happening in companies large and small that recognize the true partnership of management and employees in its success. "What you need is a clear and meaningful mission statement and vision statement to define what your business must accomplish, a strategy for the journey, a clear set of values to guide the way and leaders who...

Factories that produce metal castings are known as foundries. What happens is that the metals are cast into shapes by melting them first, pouring the liquid in a mould and later taking them out of the mould once the metal has solidified. Iron, aluminum, copper, tin and zinc are the most commonly processed metals in foundries. Foundries are part of a giant global industry and employ millions of people around the world. The Jobs For All: The foundry trade is made up of many things, so foundry jobs are available in abundance. There are manufacturers and exporters, and producers, suppliers and importers of raw materials, machinery and equipment, quality controllers and other service providers. Therefore...

Have you ever had a sports injury? A sprained ankle whilst out running, tennis elbow or torn ligaments from football or rugby maybe? I have had more than my fair share of sporting injuries over the years, mainly from running or playing football. Everything from an injured back, knee ligaments, twisted ankles, damaged Achilles tendon, torn calves, dislocated fingers, strained groin - you name it, I've had it.

With all this first-hand experience, I now understand the 6 essential steps to be taken in the first few hours and days to ensure a speedy recovery...

How is a Good CV Used? The good news is that your CV may be used in various ways for different purposes, but your CV is not written to get a job. It is a self-marketing tool to get you a meeting or job interview. When responding to an advertised job vacancy, a well written CV and a good covering letter will be instrumental in obtaining those vital interviews. Most recruiters use CVs as a method of screening people out rather than in, so pay attention to avoiding the pitfalls and any negative statements, always be positive, communicating your aspirations, skills, demonstrated abilities and achievements.

Patience is a virtue, have it if you can It's always in a woman, but never in a man I heard that growing up and it certainly was lacking in this man! And we joke about our lack of patience but don't you secretly wish you could find more patience with [insert name]? The Bible (whether you accept its authority or not) has a good definition of love and guess what it starts with: Love is patient! 1 Corinthians 13 Why does it start with that? Well, my guess is that unconditional love makes allowances for people to do and say and be at their own pace, not ours. And this, I believe is the crux of the problem. When you are being impatient, are you not saying : 'According to my standards you are not going...

Patience is defined as "is the state of endurance under difficult circumstances." This can mean many different things to various people. This can mean persevering in times of hardship or abuse, or avoiding rash action or becoming needlessly angry. Patience is more like a non-reaction than a reaction. Whenever there is conflict or some form of discomfort in our lives, our first reaction-indeed our instinct-is to react. We usually react with vehemence when we are scared or agitated. We lash out, we lose our tempers, we criticize. Though conflict and reaction is just a part of human nature, such rash thinking has been responsible for great bloodshed, world wars, premature death and years and years of...

Anger is a negative emotion and we all become victims of it at some time or other and as with all negative emotions cannot be overcome easily. Although this may take time and effort to implement, you need to identify ways to control anger. Most of us have broken or damaged something in the heat of the moment or in a fit of anger and when reflecting on our actions, have regretted it. But the regret does not last and before long it happens again. If not controlled, anger could affect your relationship with your partner or members of your family who at various times could become victims of your seemingly uncontrollable anger although this is not intentional on your part. Most of the time the reason for...

The basis of developing and implementing a supply strategy is to organize that strategy, tactics and management approach to effectively link them to the overall goals of the company. The key segments to include in that strategy are risk to the organization, cost and value to the organization and the market complexity in the sourcing arena. Risk is the extent of negative outcomes if the good or service is of low quality, too expensive or becomes unavailable. Cost and value is usually measured in dollars but it could also have an intrinsic value as well. Examples of high risk are those supply items that come from a single supplier while examples of low risk supply items would be things such as office...

While the latest jobs report indicated that there might at last be a glimmer of hope for the jobless,* I wouldn't recommend breaking out the champagne to celebrate quite yet. Why? Because, if the job market continues to improve (still a BIG "if," of course!), it likely will serve as the "trigger" for the 60 to 80 million people (over one-half of the currently employed) who have indicated in recent surveys conducted by and Manpower, Inc. that they intend to "jump ship" for new career opportunities once the economy is truly on the mend. So, if this exodus actually occurs, rather than the current average of six applicants for every open position in the job market, there easily could be an average of...

There are three separate entities that a construction company has to satisfy in order to remain in business for an extended period of time. Licensing by the state, county and city can be the first hurdle the construction company must conquer. There are licensing test that must be taken and passed in order to get the license to operate. When this is acquired, the insurance that most clients will demand you have can be obtained to cover the job liability. Having the license will also allow bidding on jobs and doing subcontracting work. Subcontracting work is the second entity that needs to be satisfied.

v> If a recruiter has a position open, guess who their first move is when they want to fill it. If you guessed posting a job on a job site, you're wrong (at least most of the time). Recruiters are like any other human being and they want to get their work done with the least amount of effort. So a recruiter's first move is usually to call (or email) someone they already know. Posting a job on a job site is time consuming and typically requires having to deal with a deluge of responses (most job ads yield 300+ candidates responding with their resumes). It's much easier for the recruiter to try someone they know first. Being the Candidate the Recruiter Calls First In addition to the hassle associated...

Online job services were meant to automate the job search process, getting jobseekers in front of prospective new employers faster. How well is it working for you? If you've sent out dozens of resumes and gotten little or no response, it probably feels like you're sending your resume into a vast black hole. Do you feel like shouting "Hey, is anyone out there?" To better the odds that your resume is being seen by a real person who can offer you a real job, here are three guidelines to make your resume more effective. 1.

Recruiters like CVs or resumes that tell them everything they need to know within seconds. They don't like CV's which are several pages long and where the key facts are hidden deep inside the text. Most recruiters look for CVs or resumes by searching online databases, such as Monster. They search by keyword, by region, and by date. It's important to refresh your CV every few days or at the very least every couple of weeks - recruiters rarely look at CV's that have not been updated in the last month. Having searched by keyword the recruiter then scans down the list of CV's and picks those with the most relevant headlines. They then pull up the CV itself - on most PCs only the top half of the first...

In my 29 years of recruiting, I have talked with and trained over 200 recruiters around the country in advanced recruiting techniques. Given this, I've learned two things 1) the recruiting industry is not homogeneous and 2) we all may be different, but there is one constant; how we find people. There really isn’t anything all that unique about how recruiters go about locating potential candidates. We all use our networks and other people’s networks. This includes both on-line networks such as Linkedin (Click here to join our Linkedin Job Search Group) and off-line such as networking groups in our community. So why is this important to candidates?Because the...

Humans are animals and animal behaviour is hard wired and mostly predictable. One behaviour in particular: People always choose the easiest way to get what they need. Which doesn’t mean our needs can’t be complex or irrational or altruistic. Just that given a choice we always choose the easiest path.Now job seekers who have had 40 unreturned phone calls would argue, but recruiters are human beings. They will find and choose the easiest path to make the money to feed their kids and to support their favourite charity.The point of this Rant is to look at the way most employers work with recruiters: They brief 3 recruiters for the same job.What the recruiters...

Over the last couple of years, the word "outsourcing" has gotten a bad rap. For many people, outsourcing means taking away American jobs but the truth is that businesses outsourcing actually means streamlining and efficiency. There isn't a competitive business today that doesn't use some form of outsourcing. Whether it's for an assembly line, document processing or even janitorial services outsourcing is a viable option. One of the fastest growing new business models is recruitment process outsourcing. Companies that turn to recruitment process outsourcing have reaped the rewards of cutting costs while targeting top tier candidates.

“Time is on my side, yes, it is!” Each time I think of time, Mike Jagger’s melody enters my mind… For me it is a song, for another a tragedy. What is time, that it consumes so many of us; how much of it we have, how little, what to do with it, how to conjugate it? The following “human reasons” are offered as the clever and humorous making of our mind time machine… 1. I don’t have any! Time is generally viewed as a measurable device. We are saving it, spending it, clocking it, wasting it, investing it! Time is money! Some of us experience lack, some abundance: If we just had money, we could buy ourselves time… If I just had time, I could make more money… I once read an...

To begin with, actually doing this can be a daunting task if you try to predetermine every item. In fact, many who have tried later find that after making an attempt to do this, they determined it could never be done in reality. Also, often the most insignificant items can cause disputes, not larger or more valuable items. The following story may best illustrate this point.

It bothers me when people call themselves 'coaches' and they don't really coach. Executive coaching is a skill that all leaders and managers of people should have. Coaching is to get inside the person and look out from where they are. To be a new pair of eyes with which to see the world around them, its problems and opportunities. This is inspirational work. That is to say coaching is a mechanism for inspiration, to encourage, motivate and instill belief into those who either may have lost it or who need more of it to do their job and make the decisions they need to make. This is not done by either shouting and instilling fear (although there is a role for fear and I will say more about this another...

The Scottish Executive is offering 5,000 Scottish residents who are in the red and are on low incomes with few assets a chance to have their debts written off. This is possible through an escape clause through a new route to bankruptcy as personal debt continues to be a growing problem.  Citizens Advice Scotland (CAS) deals with £211 million of debt a year. The average debt owed by individual clients is more than £13,000. Under current law, a debtor can petition for their own bankruptcy if they owe at least £1,500 and are unable to pay their debts and at least one of their creditors has taken court action to recover the debt. The debtor then becomes known as apparently insolvent. However...
