Which countries will become the next BRIC type economies?

For the APAC region, I would keep an eye on Vietnam, Philippines, and Indonesia. It's where rapid development is happening and where governments are also opening up their policies. Qatar in the Middle East has potential, so does Paraguay and Argentina in South America. more

Does HR have an image problem?

If we have an image problem, it has reached the point where we - the HR community - perpetuate it ourselves. This discussion has raged for years now. Let's stop worrying about it and put our heads down and focus on what we do well ... more

Situation: A manager yells at an employee in front of others. Is this workplace bullying?

Different people, ages, cultures, and societies see yelling differently. You don't have to yell in order to bully someone. The person can just be intimidating and derogatory. People yell when they don't have mechanisms to cope with their stress or anger. Some because they're actually ... more

When you retire, how will you measure the success of your professional career?

Ellen, I'll answer that for you. I'm not planning on retiring either. My dad 'retired' to leave his diplomatic career and went into helping NGOs (in Burma/Myanmar). I'm planning to do the same, using my skills to help the community -- why retire when there's ... more

Do you see an adoption lifecycle for cloud computing?

The Stages of Enterprise Cloudification:
1. Trivialize ("cloud is just for consumers")
2. Marginalize ("cloud is just SaaS point solutions")
3. Demonize ("we can't trust the cloud")
4. Rationalize ("our regulators won't let us use the cloud")
5. Galvanize ("wow, all of our competitors are leaving us behind by using ... more

What do you do with a sales rep who is doing ZERO after delivering the biggest quarter ever?

Craig -- I too have been there and done that and believe there are at least two truths in just about avery situation. Here, it has to be about "the numbers" because you're running a business but caring about "the numbers" and "people" simultaneously are ... more

Do sales people need a killer instinct to succeed?

Gag, no!!!!! I really HATE the "killer instinct" mythology. Excuse me, I have to go wash out my brain for a minute.
There, that's better. "Killer instinct" to me stands for "Buy from me or I'll kill you!" and other, similar adversarial sales approaches that ... more

How do you get sales to thoroughly follow up on your leads?

Craig, isn't this what marketing/sales pros ask themselves everyday? Here's what I'd do:
1. Have a fully thought out sales and marketing pipeline. (Mind you, you need to test the pipeline and tweak here and there until your system is just right.) It should begin from ... more

How important is business etiquette in today's competitive job market?

Margaret, It's very interesting to see the range of responses, but only a few have touched upon the concept of ROI with comments such as "catch more flies with honey than vinegar" (Michael) and "difference between a closed deal and a just another proposal exercise" ... more

How should you deal with a negative co-worker?

I tend to agree with Nik on this one. Just because someone is negative doesn't mean that they're actually negative. There can be some underlying issues:
1. Cultural: You also need to investigate cultural issues here. For example, Indian managers often say that American expats are ... more

Do you have a personal elevator pitch?

Interesting question Jake. I think those who define themselves with what they do would identify their job titles and specialization as a personal elevator pitch. For me, it's the 140 character bio on my Twitter profile. It works across all platforms. It reads like this:
