To motivate, you have to be motivated first (New Straits Times, Malaysia)
I have done numerous "motivational programs" for organisations and surprisingly, 95% of them are for low-level staff; rarely, if ever, for managers. And when asked, most organisations reply by saying, "These low-level staff are demotivated and we think that a motivational course will help".
Good attracts good (The Star, Malaysia)
Growth and profit isn't everything in business. Good managers know that good attract good. Take care of your staff and customers, and your business will grow.
Cuepacs wants relook at cost-cutting (The Star, Malaysia)
The country's civil servants union has urged the Government to re-examine the stricter controls on overtime and other measures introduced to optimise public expenditure, saying it could hit lower-ranking staff badly. Cuepacs president Datuk Azih Muda said many lower ranking public servants depended on their overtime to supplement their basic salaries in order to make end meet in view of the rising cost of living.
Leading positive change (New Straits Times, Malaysia)
Leaders today can no longer wait for opportunities to come before they start their improvement initiatives. Every leader must start at exactly where he or she is and begin to create positive change for the company. They can explore change initiatives within the company and outside. In the external environment, they need to be more discerning about customer needs, competitors, business opportunities and industry changes, and their impact on the company.
Giving your customers more (The Star, Malaysia)
When customers demand more, you could oblige by raising prices or getting more investment. But whatever you do, the key thing to remember is this: Never risk your entire business by expanding too quickly and without a proper financial plan.
Tips to effective time management (New Straits Times, Malaysia)
As busy working executives with families, none of us are strangers to the feeling of not having enough time. Not enough time to finish our work, not enough time to spend with our families, not enough time to get all our errands done, not enough time to go on vacation... and the list goes on. "No time-lah" seem to be such a common catchphrase that we hear it everywhere.
10 traits of confident female leaders (The Star, Malaysia)
We all know confident women and confident female leaders. The light up the room when they arrive and they always leave a positive impression. They seem to have an indefinable “something” that makes them special, and perhaps even inspiring. Very little stands in the way of emulating the confidence of those female leaders who inspire you. And it's unlikely they were born so confident. It took mindfulness and practice, so if they can do it, so can you.
