  • Only Funny in the Sundays by Janet Pfeiffer
    Adults should know how to behave properly when upset. Witnessing an adult throwing a hissy fit typically does not evoke compassion in those observing the shocking behavior. What is the best response and why?
  • No Reason by Janet Pfeiffer
    We often criticize people for their bad behavior claiming there was “no reason” for them to act in such a manner. Yet behind all behavior is a motive,
  • The Workplace Bully by Devin Hughes
    Do you have a bully at work? It seems like kind of an odd question does it not.  I thought so too until I came to realize just how big of a problem it is right now in corporate America.  It is estimated that 35% of adults have experienced workplace bullying sometime in their career. I suspect you do know a bully and I bet that you have dismissed his/her behavior as them just being them.  Sunshi
  • Charlie and the (Dark Side of the) Chocolate Factory by Janet Pfeiffer
    Being the victim and blaming others is much easier than taking personal responsibility. With defenses firmly in place, they believe they are being unfairly targeted and strike back with aggression. Know when to stop and walk away from a hostile person.
  • Conflict Resolution for Possible Employee Retaliation by simon casey
    Conflict Resolution for Possible Employee Retaliation Are the employee retaliations preventable? The employment relationship is more than the exchange of labor for money.

  • Why will there always be economic unease & conflict? by Sanford Kahn
    Why there will always be eternal economic unease and conflict? First,  you must understand that economics is not a science.  Using the classical definition of economics–it is the study of human behavior in its historical setting. In other words–economics is the study of psychology. Once you understand this, the answer to the lead question is simple.  Human wants and desires are unlimited, but
  • Tunnel Vision by Al Spinks
    Do you know that you will never find the solution to a problem on the same level that the problem exists?  This statement is true whether we are talking about our business life, our personal life or just life in general.  Have you ever noticed when you are in a crowd of angry people with a problem that a viable solution is never found?  They may come up with a plan of action but rarely will that p
  • Conflict Resolution for Managers: How to resolve conflict between employees in 3 simple steps by Annie Barron, PhD

  • Attitude-Get One! by Al Foxx
    When you have a winning Attitude, you do everything you possibly can to prepare to win. Because you’re PREPARED to win, you EXPECT to win. The measure of how prepared a person is, is whether they are able to perform at the top of their abilities. There is absolutely nothing wrong with getting beaten by somebody who has greater abilities than your own, but there is great shame in getting beaten
  • As a Leader, Leave them with their Dignity by Dr. Rosie Kuhn
    Regardless of education and training, my experience is that we choose our leadership styles primarily from the experience of being around those who were our leaders; most often our parents, teachers, ministers and coaches. The interpretations we choose based on our experiences have us decide how to be a leader and how to be with a leader.
  • Attitude is Everything by Al Foxx
    The power of Attitude, believing in one's own ability-strength-destiny is made crystal clear in The Dave Clark Story.    Diamond in the Rough    Imagine being 5-foot-2 and playing professional baseball. And not just playing, but also managing, coaching, scouting, owning a professional barnstorming team that toured the country, and traveling Europe as a representative of Major League Baseball.
  • Attitude Teamwork by Al Foxx
    Life is a lot like a football game or a play on Broadway.  While some players have roles that have them on stage more often, or maybe they have greater athletic ability than the average player, an Attitude of teamwork is essential. Even the best of the best need the rest of the team.  How efficiently would the play make its’ point if the actor with the starring role also had to manage the light
  • Attitude of Love by Al Foxx
    Since love is undeniably the strongest Attitude one can have, it’s probably way past time I have a post or more talking about the power love. Because I’m not a poet and because I know it, when Bonnie sent me the poem below, it seemed too perfect not to Blog it. Love is like magic And it always will be. For love still remains Life’s sweet mystery! Love works in ways That are wondrous and
  • United Were Not, Devided We Are by Donnie Bolena
    Do you remember the reaction on 9/11/2001 from "Our Country tis of thee, Sweet Land of Liberty? I do, I remember owning a small delivery company in my hometown of Jacksonville, Florida. Do you know what the number one item I was delivering each and every day? It was the American Flag, it was Flag poles, I had more work then I could keep up with. This was only a second job for me to make some extra
  • Progressive Attitudes by Al Foxx
    The current of life is always moving. Life can be understood to be like swimming upstream; the speed of the currant depends upon our Attitudes. We are either moving forward or backward. If we relax and just float, the current carries us downstream, away from our goals. For years, goals filled my thoughts, day and night. My goals were to walk and talk and drive efficiently enough to at least ser
  • Attitude-Coach John Wooden by Al Foxx

    Abraham Lincoln's Attitude Exemplified Persistence   Persistence Is Stronger than Failure. Don't ever give up! Take heart, even Abraham Lincoln, one of America’s greatest presidents, was no stranger to failure. Here is a brief summary of his career:   § Failed in business                                     1831 § Defeated for legislature                         1832 § Failed in business aga
  • Over The Wall Attitudes by Al Foxx
    Upon first hearing of over the wall problem solving, I had thought I would be interested in exploring it in depth, but upon beginning my exploration of this problem-solving technique, my interest was immediatly drawn away. For anybody interested in learning more about this method, http://www.winwenger.com/overwall.htm and many other sites offer plenty of information. What I learned from
  • Only Funny in the Sundays Janet Pfeiffer         posted in: Conflict Management
    I love reading the Sunday funnies. One of my favorites is For Better or Worse by Lynn Johnston. In a recent comic, the young child, Mike, was having a bad day. Trying to construct a building out of Lego-type pieces, gravity was working against him as the entire structure collapsed. In a fit of frustration, he kicked the remaining pieces while simultaneously letting out a few choice juvenile wor...
  • No Reason Janet Pfeiffer         posted in: Conflict Management
    No Reason Ten years ago, my Uncle John passed away. Although in his eighty’s, it was hard on his son, Johnny. Three months later, Johnny’s only child, his beautiful fourteen year old daughter, was in a car that plunged into an icy Ohio River where she tragically drowned. Her mother, Johnny’s wife of more than twenty years, died from grief a mere eighteen months later. An overwhe...
