Energized Disengagement ? The New Trend
2012-02-09 15:38:00 I?m going to tell you the one thing no incentive company will tell you. Don?t run that recognition and reward program to fix your employee engagement problems. Don?t do it. Don?t do it. Don?t do it. Run a Program Save The World Here?s the problem. Most of the time the people tasked with driving ...
Incentive & Reward Programs Need More UGC

Incentives May Not Trump Culture

Incentives Don?t Work If Behavior Isn?t Decision-Based
2012-01-06 15:20:00 Changing behavior is tough. As the New Year kicks off many of us have set goals and objectives for 2012 and are working hard to make them realities. Chances are we set up incentives for ourselves? save $100 and then treat yourself to a $20 gift. Or go to the gym 5 days in a ...

2011-12-22 16:00:00 5 Key Ways to Increase Your Client Attraction, Influence, Impact and Income! is a Big Thinker resource from BeverlyBoston.com One frequent mistake I see small business owners and entrepreneurs unintentionally make time again and again is this ? putting all of their eggs in one basket (all in one source) to get new clients. Here is something I know for sure, I can't tell you how many times I share with someone I'm in advanced client attraction marketing and what I often hear back is, "Cool, the only thing I ever need to do for marketing in my small business is referrals."

Serious About Business Growth, Take Your Online Conversations Offline
2011-11-24 16:00:00 Serious About Business Growth, Take Your Online Conversations Offline is a Big Thinker resource from BeverlyBoston.com You see, taking conversations offline, and building credibility and authority is a lot bigger than just the marketing messages and the commenting that goes back and forth online. I would go as far to say something amazing happens when you start selectively choosing a few people per week to support and become a cheerleader for, to share with them what you do, and perhaps they in turn become clients.

On Artistic Influence
2009-06-15 18:18:00 It strikes me while looking at a classic Berenice Abbot photograph: Seventh Avenue looking south from 35th Street, that as an art photographer, I have been influenced by everything. I have hardly seen the work, but I know it well. Just as well from a friend's snapshot down a Budapest street in the early morning sunlight which was probably styled after something influenced initially by Berenice Abbot. Who was herself influenced by someone else. That is how influence goes. And why there is probably nothing new under the sun. Just some things are fresher. And as contemporary artists we should simply be more aware of this than the "common folk" stuck in its rut. We are the ones that we all depend on to find new ways of seeing that which is known but forgotten.

Saudi Power/Influence in the United KIngdom -- Her Majesty's Britain
2009-03-31 23:28:00 Saudi Arabia has the power/influence not only to have American newspapers --that like to see themselves as "talking truth to power"-- bend over backwards to justify Saudi massacres of civilians but they have power/influence in the UK --Britain-- too. David Pryce-Jones reports several cases, one of which we have reported on Emet m'Tsiyon. In Britain Saudi demands have perverted the normal system of criminal investigation and caused injustice against British citizens oppressed ["mistreated"] by the Saudi kingdom. The situation is outrageous but it seems that there is not enough outrage to correct it.Here is our previous post on Saudi-demanded perversion of political and journalistic decency in the United States. What does it mean that the press and universities and judicial systems in supposedly democratic countries pervert their own conduct in order to please the superrich bigots who represent Wahhabi Islam?Many of Israel's enemies in America try to have things both ways.

The Mecca Massacre 1987 -- The Power/Influence of Saudi Arabia in the USA
2009-03-18 17:35:00 UPDATING 3-19-2009 & 3-21-2009 & 3-26-2009Anti-Zionism is the anti-imperialism of foolsA bloody event in Mecca on July 31, 1987, demonstrated the power or influence of Saudi Arabia in the United States, and over the communications media in particular. During the yearly Muslim haj pilgrimage to Mecca --occurring in July that year according to the Gregorian calendar-- Saudi police beat to death [or shot] a mass of Iranian pilgrims, estimated in numbers from 400 to 1500. Either the minimal or maximal number would be a shocking number of victims of police brutality. Now, police brutality had become a theme for outrage for many Americans, especially those considering themselves "liberals", "progressives", "leftists" and "radicals". If this shocking incident would end up by applying the label of "police brutality" to Saudi Arabia, that could cause difficulties for the Saudi-American relationship, a relationship which was profitable in money terms not only for the Saudi royal famil...

Google's PageRank Is Best Way to Rate Online Influence
2008-11-20 04:41:00 Source: Advertising AgeBy Steve Rubel BusinessWeek recently created a bit of a stir from bloggers such as Ogilvy's John Bell when it reported that Google had created a method for ranking the influence of social networkers. But it might be moot, because bloggers are more influential.Blog readership has quietly grown 300% in four years. Further, blogs strongly influence purchasing decisions, according to a new Jupiter Research/BuzzLogic study. Once again, trust comes into view. Frequent blog readers trust blogs for product advice more than they trust social networks.Influence in the blogging community is built link by link. That's why Technorati's link-authority algorithm, for a time, was the de facto way to measure bloggers. Over time, however, the environment changed. The media started to blog, and bloggers started attracting links from an array of sources, including Twitter and even static corporate sites. Enter Google.To continue reading click here

3 Guaranteed Ways to Sabotage Your Influence
2008-08-08 18:00:00 We all want our lives to have some sort of impact. If it is not in the workplace, then it may be at home with our kids, in the community, or a variety of other places. Wherever it is, the human condition causes us to have this deeply rooted need for our lives to actually mean something... to leave a legacy.Stephen Covey points out that, "There are certain things that are fundamental to human fulfillment. The essence of these needs is captured in the phrase 'to live, to love, to learn, to leave a legacy'... the need to leave a legacy is our spiritual need to have a sense of meaning, purpose, personal congruence, and contribution." None of us wants to leave this world thinking that our lives meant nothing. So we strive to develop our legacy, and that happens through how well we influence others here and now. The test of how well we do in this aspect of our lives happens well after we are gone. As we continue with studying Lessons from Leaders, we come to the ...
Blogger Influence Studies Miss The Point - Print Media Is Dying
2008-07-14 11:28:00 I happened over to Flopping Aces, a political blog, and noticed their reference and post on a study that questioned the infuence of bloggers in politics. The study was done in the "olden" days of blogging, circa 2006, and so is already questionable because there were 2 million blogs then, versus over 100 million today. But the main point missed by Flopping Aces is that with ad dollars moving toward the Internet, and reporters being laid off left and right, blogs remain the one place to go to get news. Yes, biased -- for example, we tend to be pro-Barack Obama -- but that is why people surf blogs. The bottom line is that the way we're getting our news is changing fast and in this sea of alteration is difficult to question the power of blogs. We're at a point where almost every major news channel on television looks like blogs for news, then uses their content or story idea to some degree. That fact is not in the study's discussed. |
