Latest Updates

Don’t Panic, Don’t Panic !

My latest article (click on the title) focuses on the immortal words of Corporal Jones in Dad’s Army! At times with Swine Flu for example authorities seem to be out there saying just those words; suggesting they are in control and that we should just not panic. Peter Sandman of Princeton University calls this “Panic Panic” syndrome, where authorities (worldwide) attempt to damp down panic by in effect saying Don’t Panic, Don’t Panic. He suggests they fail in their objectives because they are really frightened themselves and so leads them to make critical mistakes. This applies as much to MD’s in dealing with business crises. Very pertinent at the moment I would suggest.

The article expands on the topic gives some suggestions on better approaches you can take in running your business.

Nicholas Speaks in July

Actually I have been doing a series of short talks over the past couple of months with 4Networking (www.4networking.biz) at various meetings in what they call a 4Sight slot which is not a sales pitch but a general presentation on a topic that will help the business community. I am continuing this activity with a couple of dates in July

10th July – Waltham Abbey – Marriot Hotel

Setting clear shareholder objectives

I always say you have to be mad to run your own business and I try and explain where this schizophrenia comes from and will help to make to bring some sanity by presenting a hands-on method/process to clarify just what your shareholder objectives really are.

14th July – Ware – The Roebuck Hotel

www.4networking.biz/events/6513.htm

Are you swimming or drowning?

In the talk I present a technique for identifying what is important and whether the factors are keeping you afloat or dragging you down!

I hope you can come along to one of them and if not those others I intend to present over the next few months. And if you are looking for someone to speak at an event around the County do give me a call.
