Levels of work engagement

There is certainly too many levels of dedication on anything we do. Only one level of engagement almost guarantees success: it is the commitment that you can offer to a task / activity at work and this can be considered as the maximum level that someone is engaged to until the expected outcome is achieved.

Negotiation

It is something that both parties hate to do, it is something unavoidable though, it will happen at some point in anyone's career. It is always initiated by the employee (if you know something different this will be a global exception), it is not a pleasant situation since there must be a reason for requesting negotiation for the one party and for the other party there must be a very well proposition / opposition:

1. either to satisfy partially or fully the request(s) or 
2. not to demotivate you if there will be a "diplomatic rejection" of the request for the specific period.

Negotiation does not always have losers or winners, the best is to have a balanced situation. Usually this can happen when there is good timing for both parties, good argumentsm, faith and persuasive skills.

Problem Solving is a priceless asset.

Problems do arise to all, sometimes often to some, rarely for others, it depends but it happens to all and this is a fact. What is common to all problems though, is the need for solution.

The art to provide solution to a problem is Problem Solving. The ability to provide solution is priceless, it is an asset so much valuable that has the power to increase Traffic, reputation and if you want growth as an individual or at a corporate level it has some marketing and sales power as well!

Modelling Early Warning Systems

An Early Warning System, commonly abbreviated as EWS, is an essential tool for a great number of activities, as it is a way to warn in advance -earlier- people for dangerous situations not following the right course!

Dangerous situations can occur from typhoons that can be predicted by Early Warning Systems or activities not following the right course in a plan can be also traced by Early Warning system and alert accordingly.

What makes a report good?

Communicating results, achievements, progress or status to anybody for any reason requires experience and  the necessary flexibility to adjust the perspective you want to give.

There are quite often and for many cases situations where the obvious is not the logic thing to be exposed, instead focusing on certain areas or sections of a report might be the desired.

In most of the cases - if not to all - focusing on parts of the report always depends on the group audience that the report is shipped to.

Story of Famous Logos

Logo design for any brand name is the top of the notch, it has the highest visibility to consumers / potential customers. It should be easily recognisable, responsible for driving traffic back.

I came across a very interesting post, which I am sharing below, including very well known brand names with their logo designs, having 2 important characteristics to all of them: high recognition, hidden messages promoting the origin of the brand name.
