Time Management and Your Work Schedule

Successful people learn to manage their time. They understand how to prioritize their work based on how important it is. Excellent time managers learn to set goals for the day, week, month, quarter and beyond.

Rewarding Superior Performance

Individuals and teams will often perform at their best when morale and motivation levels are high.

All organizations want exceptional employee performance. Managers must find ways to connect with employees and make them feel like they are part of the process.

Developing supervisor/employee relationships based on the Mutual Reward Theory is a great motivational tool.


Enhancing Customer Satisfaction

In broad terms, a customer is someone with whom we exchange value. As social human beings, we exchange value as we interact with others.

If we focus on satisfying customers as part of our daily lives, we greatly increase our chances of career success.
