Harvey Mackay - Employees Advise How To Be A Better Boss

Feedback is a gift. Every now and the one of my columns gets a response that tells me that I have really hit a nerve. In this case, I wrote about managing your boss. The feedback I reviewed was that bosses need plenty of managing, and readers weren’t skimpy with their advice!

Each employee you supervise has different strengths and weaknesses, as well as different work styles… Be prepared to give employees as much information as the need to succeed.

So I’ll sit on the other side of the dest and send some pointers to the bosses out there. If you asked employees what they would do if they ran the zoo, their answers would sound like these

• Adapt to individuals. Each employees you supervise has different strengths and weaknesses, as well as different work styles. The “my way or the highway” approach rarely works. If you can’t quite figure out how to accomplish this, think back to the best boss you ever had and follow that example.

• Check your attitude. What example are you setting? Are you enthusiastic about the work you do, or do you view it as a burden? Eliminate stereotypes, both positive and negative. Recognize that talent may be hiding where you least expect it.

Dr. Garth Fisher - A Father’s Day Tribute

Each month of the year is known for a special occasion. And without a doubt June in one of the most important as it carries Father’s Day, a day to recognize men whose loving concern and ongoing contributions make a difference in our lives. But it’s not just our own fathers and husbands who deserve our appreciation. Each of us know men outside our families who step in to save the day when life gets tough to take on our burdens to make our lives easier. The take time out of their busy schedules to offer advice when things get complicated and stand watchful when we need a strong shoulder to lean on. It is the ripple effect of these men and their heartfelt generosity that helps us, people in our city, country and throughout the world - have better lives. Father’s Day celebrates each man, who despite the personal heartbreaks he has endured, negative circumstances and obstacles he has had to overcome and fears he has had to face and survive, does his very best to not only live a life that he can be proud of, but a life that we can look up to and aspire to emulate. Men are fathers to the world and the caretakers of humanity.

Garth Fisher happens to be one of my favorite people. I’ve known him for years -way back when he started his practice here in Beverly HiIIs. Years of hard work, motivation to be the best surgeon possible, incredible skill in the operating room, an eye for the smallest detail, an iron man will to overcome obstacles and negativity, sympathetic bedside manner and generous giving nature have put and kept him at the top. Fisher is a concerned humanitarian who gives of his time and is willing to use his extraordinary surgical talent to help others. And he does it without fanfare or expecting recognition.

Our Favorite Billionaire Donald Trump

The Donald is at it again, this time the billionaire real estate and entertainment mogul is catapulting himself full tilt into the world of nutrition multi-level marketing.

While the term multi-level marketing, or MLM as it’s commonly known, may not be immediately familiar, you are probably familiar with the process.

Odds are you have either purchased products from, or at least heard someone tell you about, NuSkin, Amway, Sunrider, Herbalife and many other highly successful lines in which individuals buy products at wholesale prices and then sell them to friends, family and interested parties for rates well below retail. The entrepreneurs make money not only from the sales they make, but also from the money that is generated by people they find to get involved in the business. Plus, they also have access to these products - many have tremendous reputations for being the best on the market.

In his latest endeavor, Trump has jumped into the multi-level marketing game with his products QuickStik weight loss as well as a nutritional line.

According to the Trump Network, “QuickStiks” rely on botanicals and bionutrients - known to support energy levels and mood - to give you just what you need to get going in the morning, pick you up in the afternoon, and help you relax in the evening.

Trump’s latest venture, while similar in style to few MLM companies out there, stands out because it has its focus exclusively on the world of health and beauty.
