The lives of a group of interrelated and cooperate with one another. There are a number of ants that served as the cutter leaves, other ants carry leaves to the nest, and then there is a team of soldiers to defend from attack predatory ants. There is a small ant teams up the leaves to protect against parasites. There is a queen ant lay eggs and there are workers who serve the queen and her baby. Some of the ants that are the keepers of the fungus, and their treating fungus produced only leaves because ants eat the fungus, not the leaves.<span

/> Loneliness tends to mean any form resulting in a weakness, incompetence, alienation and even bring destruction. Each individual must have a weak side and strong side. That is why we need other people, moreover, in conducting a job or activity, especially in an organization or company. Teamwork is a powerful tool for any activity, it is clear that the success of building a work team within the company is a critical point that will determine the success of the company. Theoretically teamwork is the ability to work together towards the same vision and mission.</p><p>Not easy to start forming the teamwork. Need in-depth planning and time to know each other. The team is not enough to be supported by systems &#8211; systems, procedures &#8211; the procedures and expectations &#8211; expectations. A team needs direction, monitoring and feedback. For that a manager or team leader seeks the creation of effective teams that can give meaning to the performance of short and long term.</p><p>A teamwork usually works together in a small scope to achieve greater goals. Effective teamwork will result in better quality than an individual working alone. To build an effective team, then you need to communicate with team members. Everyone has a different communication style, which may enhance or inhibit the process can be an effective solution of a team.</p><p>Hearing is a very essential and crucial role in forming an effective team. The ability of an active listener is a skill that focuses on the words &#8211; words and feelings as he spoke of trying to associate the idea &#8211; the idea that the person is in line with corporate objectives. Not only that, we need to talk about feelings, because it is often associated with the direction of the group. In general, the more the practice of active listening is done by someone, the more effective this process is also felt by all parties, including the perpetrators themselves. In order to understand a team, it is important to understand the strengths, weaknesses and goals of each person who becomes a member of that team. The best function of a teamwork will come when they interact actively, using the facts as much as possible, communicate effectively and held discussions to reach the target.</p><p>Actually, effective teamwork is often the result of discipline is determined by each team member. They make sure that not only changed behavior, but each member has the right attitude to maintain the unity and interest groups.<br
/> Teamwork is not the end goal, but an end in itself. If each team member to achieve the real goal of the work team, the victory will be a sense of shared, Make it a team that is strong, steadfast, and committed to the principle.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://thepublicapology.com/2012/02/22/teamwork-strategy/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>What Should Human Resources Perform</title><link>http://thepublicapology.com/2012/02/22/human-resources-perform/</link> <comments>http://thepublicapology.com/2012/02/22/human-resources-perform/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Wed, 22 Feb 2012 13:02:06 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>admin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Business]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Business Tips]]></category> <guid

Most will say that human resources is part of the recruitment. Some will say that human resources is the part that pays the salary. Two things this is a very well known by most people about human resources. Small firms or family firms mostly have only human resource personnel who only deal with recruitment and payroll. No wonder that the existing human resources was not coined the significant progress and development. When I attended a training of human resources where the participants came from various companies I met a manager of medium-sized enterprises. We talked, and told how he fills his crew work time by giving the task to translate articles from English into Indonesian. Then he assigned his men also to create a bulletin board because of recruitment activities for a while does not take place because the &#8220;turn over&#8221; is very low. At that frankly I thought, why he fills his team with activities translate the article and make a bulletin board on the grounds of recruitment activities are not held? The activity in the human resources department is hiring so that when a low employee turn over the loss of human resource functions.<span
id="more-2040"></span></p><p>This is what must be recognized correctly by human resource practitioners. That in fact there are many things to keep in mind that is part of the human resource department functions itself, ranging from recruitment to dismissal, from assessment to development, training and even empowerment.</p><p>Human resources function</p><p>Flippo (1994) explained there are two major groups of human resource function with the following details:</p><p>A. Management functions:<br
/> Consists of functions: planning, organizing, directing, and controlling.</p><p>2. Operational functions:<br
/> Consists of functions: the provision of labor, development, compensation, integration, maintenance, and termination of employment.</p><p>Of the above functions, it can be concluded that human resources have a wide scope and a very important role in the company. Not just about recruitment and payroll.</p><p>Therefore, a human resource manager was due to make his team to be able to optimize performance so that the functions of human resources at the top can be covered well. This does not mean it takes a lot of people to run all the above functions. But the ten functions can be combined with the well so that each function can be done effectively. For example, the compensation function can be paired with maintenance. While the sub functions of management functions can also be fitted. On the other functions can be combined with the development of integration. Needed so that team members can be minimized by the division of labor as much as possible and optimum performance.</p><p>Bernhard Sumbayak, founder and chairman Vibizconsulting argues that human resources is part and actually have a job, even though the recruitment and payroll were quiet order. Because there are activities and corporate development functions of organization development culture which can be done here. With a little creativity then both of these functions can be encroached upon, and if the CEO approved, the implementation of the implementation of the corporate culture of the Manager and his staff can be busy dg socialization or training of the cultural dimension in the company who want to implement. Not to mention the employee relations function will not actually work out if the Manager had a passion for using it.</p><p>If we go back to the story early on where a team of human resources to fill their time to translate the articles and create a bulletin board, it can be concluded that the team is trying to perform the function of development, but not yet optimal. Optimal development should be tailored to the knowledge and skills required. If the company is engaged in the development of industry can be done by training their workers in accordance with the required technology industry at that time. While on the marketing, the training provided must also be related to the marketing skills and how to have the most powerful selling skills. For its own part of human resources so the members can be given the knowledge and training related to its specialization.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://thepublicapology.com/2012/02/22/human-resources-perform/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Negotiating With Clients</title><link>http://thepublicapology.com/2012/02/22/negotiating-clients/</link> <comments>http://thepublicapology.com/2012/02/22/negotiating-clients/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Wed, 22 Feb 2012 09:40:06 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>admin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Business]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Marketing]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Business Tips]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Marketing Tips]]></category> <guid

/> Get excellent service would be the desire of each prospective customer. Like the word &#8220;buyer is king&#8221; they want the optimal service for the price they pay.

There is a new theory, there are new ways, new concepts. However, if an organization, especially the company would emerge as a leader, then the organization must have something different. Something that is new, creative, and capable of a &#8220;trend setter&#8221; in the field. Something new we call INNOVATION.<span
id="more-2021"></span></p><p>Innovation quotes according to Webster&#8217;s dictionary Merriem<br
/> &#8220;The introduction of something new: a new idea, method, or device; to the make changes: do something in a new way&#8221;</p><p>&#8220;Innovation is the specific instrument of entrepreneurship &#8230; That the act endows resources with a new capacity to create wealth. &#8220;- Peter Drucker<br
/> According to Peter Drucker innovation is a necessary instrument in entrepreneurship. Innovation quotes does not have to be something expensive or hi-tech. Innovation can be simple but is a fresh idea. Innovation can be a new method, but using the old or even completely new hi-tech devices. Innovation can occur in the production process, product packaging, marketing strategies, setting the efficiency and effectiveness of the work, creating new markets and so on. Ranging from internal to external companies we can create innovation. It basically takes creativity to make something different. An industry can be a leader in its field if it has this. INNOVATION is the key word.</p><p>A leader in an organization will not be able to create an innovation quotes if it works on a routine and have no vision. But a leader with vision has never surrendered to the state today. A leader is always thinking hard how to achieve a better tomorrow. Leaders of such companies will create new innovations in marketing strategy, product quality and so on. Leaders who are open to a change will be more receptive to the ideas of brilliant employees / subordinates.</p><p>There is nothing wrong with listening to the ideas of your subordinates. At the end of a leader, too, who assess whether the idea can be realized and be a break of tradition and innovation that hit the market.<br
/> For example look at the product &#8211; a product of gadgets, innovation in technology changing so fast. Consumers are inundated with offers of lucrative new products. Apple App Store so far remains a leader in its field. Although many of which have similar features Android Apple proliferation, but Apple still superior technological innovation.</p><p>On the top leadership does not mean you sit still and stop thinking. Instead you are at a crucial point. Innovation today determines the future of the company. When you have successfully created an innovation then this will greatly benefit the company. A successful innovation and multitudes would like very quickly follow. Your company has created a new trendsetter and reaps many benefits, creating a temporary euphoria. But after that company margins typically charts began to decline some time thereafter. If you stop thinking and stop innovating then you will lose the competition.</p><p>Do not stop innovating if you want to move on.</p><p>&#8220;Companies can not grow through cost reduction and reengineering alone &#8230; Innovation is the key element in Providing aggressive top-line growth, and for Increasing bottom-line results.&#8221; -Davila</p><p>&#8220;Innovation has nothing to do with how many R &amp; D dollars you have &#8230; It&#8217;s not about money. It&#8217;s about the people you have, how you&#8217;re led, and how much you get it. &#8220;-Steve Jobs</p><p>When you want to lead the market, INNOVATION IS A MUST!</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://thepublicapology.com/2012/02/21/innovation-quotes-takes-lead/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> </channel> </rss>
