		<description><![CDATA[There are few things more destructive to morale in a workplace as when there is a staff member causing havoc and no-one is willing to have that difficult conversation with them which would quickly fix things. Perhaps they are not performing well in teir role or they are causing all kinds of relationship issues with inappropriate comments or behaviour, or (add your experience here.....)

For me, these are defining leadership moments!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am saddened when I hear leaders of organisations complain about their volunteers, how they wish they had more money to pay people so they can get good staff. I venture to say leaders with this attitude would have similar problems motivating paid staff.

Motivation does not come with salary. Motivation comes from being inspired to be part of making a difference. Apparently Steve Jobs was lured back to Apple from his role as CEO of Pepsi Co by the challenge, "Are you going stay and make sugar water or do you want to come and change the world?"]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Without momentum everything, even small problems become magnified. like a stationary train can be prevented from rolling forward by placing a 20 cent coin on the track against a wheel. With momentum everything is so much easier, even larger problems can be solved relatively easily. E.g. the same train moving at 100 Km/h would not be stopped if a brick wall was built across the track.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Studies have indicated that 15% of job success is based on technical competence while 85% is related to interpersonal skills. There is no doubt that the people factor is one of the most important issues to be dealt with as we strive for competitiveness and increased productivity. We have to bring new strategies to bear on this challenge. People skills are central to personal and organizational success. Behavioural styles and Interpersonal approaches require the same rigorous analysis and training investment as technical areas.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If the only time you give yourself to really unwind is on annual holiday then the chances are you will never really unwind. Digital mobile technology, with iPads and Smart phones, has made it harder to get away from work and relax. I read today that by 2014 more mobile internet searches will be done than from a desktop. Many people are potentially addicted to being connected to the internet (and therefore tied to work) and feel incomplete if they are out of contact even for a day.]]></description>
