Hi
Friend
Hope you had a
brilliant Christmas & New Year!
It was good to take time to recharge
batteries and stop and
reflect.
Welcome to all
our new readers who joined us in the
past few weeks while were on
holidays. Our weekly newsletter goes
to a few thousand people all around
the world - businesses have similar
issues no matter the
country!
This year we
will continue to cover a wide range
of management, marketing and business
topics at no charge, all designed to
help you grow your business and boost
your productivity.
If you would like a particular topic
covered in an upcoming edition, just
drop me a line.
Remember you
can unsubscribe from this weekly
newsletter at any time - simply click
on the button at the bottom of this
newsletter. Of course we would love
to enjoy your thoughts and ideas as
part of our
community.
This week we
take a look at one of the most
fundamental drivers of human
behaviour -
needs.
We
start by looking at what are needs,
and how having individual needs met
plays out with your employees,
suppliers and
customers.
We
then look the needs of managers, and
the right and wrong way of getting
these needs met.
Our
book of the week is one I read over
the holidays by the author of "The
Tipping Point".
THIS
WEEK
There's Nothing Wrong
with Being
Needy
Everyone has
them but rarely talks about them ...
needs. Yet these drive nearly all
human behaviour. If you want to be
successful, you need to work out how
you can meet the needs of others (and
yourself). In this article I look at
the most important human needs to
meet in your employees, suppliers and
customers.
ALSO IN THIS
EDITION
HR Tip - Managers
Have Needs
Too
Managers are
not immune from human needs - but how
you meet your needs will make or
break your team.
Book of the Week -
What the Dog
Saw
This book was on my
holiday reading list. It had some
brilliant insights on topics such as
recruitment, performance and
leadership and is well worth the
read.
Blog Post of the
Week: A Tale of Two Tourist
Attractions
During our
holidays we visited a number of
tourist attractions. I asked my teen
to describe two of the attractions -
what she looked at will surprise many
businesses.
Have a
great week!
exuberantly
yours
