Conan O'Brien said in a recent interview with Howard Stern: "I have never made a business decision based on money." He goes on to state that it is great having money but the point he was trying to make was that "money shouldn't define where we work or how we work". It should be a factor, but not your driver. The driving force behind making employment decisions comes down to the company's culture, the people, their mission, and what contributions you can make towards their goals. Working in a toxic environment, even when they pay you what you want or give you that 'VP' title, does little for your overall health and well-being. Putting up with poor management decisions or not being engaged at all is a poor trade-off and should be avoided. Find your worth. Find the company that you want to work with. Make it so! #workculture #toxicity #money #worklifebalance

"It's an employer's market, finally!" That's the sentiment coming from a lot of business owners and big corporations as the pendulum swings back from the past few years and the market tightens. Finally, we won't have to bow to the demands of employees, and things can get back to normal. But is the best strategy to go back to "business as usual" -- using fear and intimidation retention tactics? I don't think so. Let's be better as we build the teams and companies of the future, ones that benefit employees and employers. BGW CPA, PLLC #anythingbuttypical #employeeretention #nowhiring

Now that business owners and executives can no longer provide for the long-term financial well-being of 'employees,' they are increasingly treated the same as anyone else; as peers in society with a different role, not an entitled aristocracy who deserve some greater privilege. #GreatResignation #TheBigQuit #ToxicCulture #WorkLifeBalance

🌻 JUST SOME THOUGHTS FOR TODAY 💭 (No offense meant, just some honest and unbiased thoughts based on some of my previous experiences) Seeking success at the expense of others diminishes your own light. As business owners, we must encourage one another. I'm grateful to be working directly with a client who values me and my skills, treats me like family, and considers me a vital part of her business. As for other business owners/agencies, underpaying VAs to minimise costs while sales rise benefits no one. Let's adjust our perspective and recognise the great value that each team member offers, rather than viewing them as expenses. Pay a fair living wage. Invest in people as partners rather than disposable resources. Encourage open communication, empathy, and mutual success, not frustration. Together, we can build a community of empowered solopreneurs and empowered assistants who can fuel each other's entrepreneurial fire. Our united dedication drives our collective prosperity. When businesses support VAs with equitable compensation and inclusive policies, creativity and loyalty thrive. 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐧𝐨 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐛𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐬 𝐨𝐮𝐭.

Describe the dynamics of a family business. The most successful companies are family businesses; they have unique dynamics, and every family business acts differently due to the various values of each family and their financial blanket. However, The following model presents family business roles and concerns. Roles are principal family members, senior management agents, and workforce. Overall concerns are dividends, profits, bonuses, and benefits. The new model is in the following points and paradigm:  1- Shareholder family members who are not employees are concerned about dividends and their families. They hire senior management agents to act on their behalf, but they do not interfere with corporate choices.   2- Senior management agents are concerned with the company's profits to claim their bonus; they develop strategic plans for the company and hire its workforce. 3- The workforce hired by senior management agents is concerned about boosting their salaries. 4- Shareholder family members who are employees are concerned about dividends, their benefits, and having more strategic positions in the future. 5- In the middle of everything, concerned with having a happy family and a successful company, they are light in making decisions for the sake of the family while being pragmatic in making decisions for the sake of the company, concerned with dividends, profits, bonuses, and everyone's salary to balance all parties and ensure the company's long-term success.  #AhmedKANDIL_GlobalManagement

Consider how you employ adults with good jobs (they work for you!). These adults have loans, pay bills, drive, vote, and raise families. When greater autonomy is raised in High Engagement it can be immediately dismissed citing your people as ‘different’. “Oh you can’t do that with our people, it would be anarchy and chaos!” Pigeonholing -- ensures your adults don’t act like adults at your workplace. People become what their environment expects. Your brightest employees tone it down, innovators stay quiet, agitators become resentful, motivators think twice if how things are 'done around here' means it is easier to be less of an adult at work. Strategically considering a bandwidth of increased autonomy which rewards and encourages Your People as adults builds a strong foundation for High Engagement between You, Your Company and Your People. 🌟🤓 Hello, I'm Ally Smart   ✔️ We guide you in High Engagement Made Simple. ✔️ Actively Engage Your Workforce and Your Customers ✔️ Do Big Things Simply with Results that Keep on Growing.   Like this post?
