The church will soon meet Jesus in the air. No one knows exactly when He will return, yet we know He'll judge our salvation based on our choosing to acknowledge Him as Savior before men. He’ll determine our worthiness for various heavenly rewards based on our stewardship of the earthly possessions He divided to us.

Millions of unsaved people in your community and throughout the world need to be saved so they won't be judged to eternal hell fire. This should cause godly stewardship to arise from your relationship with Christ to produce abundant giving today to meet ministry needs, a lifestyle that lives off less than is received in income, and consistent saving to take care of your future responsibilities and emergency needs in case Jesus tarries awhile.

You need stock, bond, and guaranteed investments like money market accounts, certificates of deposits, and treasury bills, bonds, and notes in your portfolio to cover short and long-term needs. The stock market has earned more than government and corporate bonds in the vast majority of twenty year periods that have been measured, however stocks are more risky than bonds over shorter periods of time because they usually fluctuate between highs and lows much more. Bonds can fluctuate in price as well, even government bonds, when you try to sell them to someone else prior to their reaching maturity. However, they don’t usually fluctuate as much because they are normally based on a guaranteed yield at maturity that is much lower than the average annual growth that stocks normally produce. The guarantee is made either by the corporation or the government, whichever party is selling the bond.

Money in money market accounts and certificates of deposit normally have lower annual returns that are normally similar or below corporate bond returns. At government insured banks, these instruments are guaranteed by the federal government up to certain limits such as $100,000 per bank holding company. Higher guarantees can be had on these instruments in some instances such as joint and retirement accounts. It is important to peruse the FDIC.gov website so you’ll know what the guarantees are so that you can place money in these accounts in as many bank holding companies as necessary to protect your principle because the portion of your portfolio placed in these savings should be your six month emergency fund and any moneys that you may need to withdraw within five years due to anticipated living expenses, home purchase, replacement car purchase, etc.

Generally speaking, your portfolio should contain more than 50% in diversified stock mutual funds when you’re younger than 50 and contain less than 50% in diversified corporate and/or government guaranteed saving instruments. When you reach 50 years of age you should take an assessment of your risk tolerance and adjust your portfolio weightings so that bonds and government guaranteed savings are used to a greater degree when you find that you will need the money within five years or you simply don’t have many years to recover from a serious cyclical stock market downturn or you just don’t have the stomach to take inevitable stock market downturns in your retirement years.

Through it all, craft your investment plan to invest in seven or eight different vehicles and re-evaluate it annually and don't worry about day-to-day stock market swings and economic cycles since you're generally invested for the long haul based on biblical financial principles. This roadmap will help you be a good steward who prospers immensely.

Here are a few points you should consider when choosing investments and diversifying. Don't invest money with any financial counselor, brokerage firm, fund company, or bank until you've researched them and competitors and the investment vehicles they offer. You can quickly check on the individuals and firms by calling the federal and state banking & securities divisions to ensure that they are properly licensed and to make sure they do not have an unreasonable amount of complaints filed against them.

Next, ask for and inspect the investment prospectuses for each investment vehicle to see what their one-year, five-year, and ten-year investment returns and expense ratios have been. This will generally denote that you should be investing in mutual funds until you are very knowledgeable about other types of investments (individual stocks, futures, oil & gas leases, etc.) and have set aside a small portion of money you’re willing to risk to determine if you have the skill to make money in those investments.

Many of the mutual funds you choose to purchase will have an electronic funds transfer provision that will allow you to immediately start investing in them by giving the brokerage house authorization to electronically transfer as little as $50 per month out of your savings or checking account that it will use to purchase shares of the mutual fund you choose to purchase. The electronic funds transfer option allows you to avoid the minimum start-up investment (normally $1,000 or more) that many funds require for people who send checks to the investment firm. If you can't or don't wish to use an electronic funds transfer option, then it's worth your while to save the amount of money needed to meet the required minimum investment for the investment vehicle you want to invest in.

Don’t let market conditions fool you. It is always a good time to invest in mutual funds if you have taken care of the basic elements of your financial plan like adhering to a spending plan that keeps your monthly expenses below 70% of your take home pay, faithfully tithing and offering to you local church, saving six months of your take home pay in a money market account, eliminating all your debts (except your mortgage), being committed to never co-signing for anyone else’s loans/debts, saving for the short-term (a period less than five years until you need the money) and investing for the long-term horizon (five years or more until you will draw from the money but can afford to lose principles and is willing to take the risk).

Market downturns are perfect for doing what you really need to do to make money investing: buy when share prices are low and later sell when share prices are much higher. Yet, when investing for the long-term it is simply good to consistently invest month after month, which is called dollar cost averaging, because market history over the past decade has shown that very few 5 and 10 year periods have experienced share prices being less at the beginning of the period than they were at the end of the period.

Of course, past results are no guarantee of future returns. However, you can be very comfortable that being invested after your financial ducks are in a row will put you in a much better position and cause you to greatly exceed the inflationary factors in our economy that would otherwise diminish your assets over each 5 and 10 year period of time. So, by all means start investing or start working to create the situation in which you can use this great income producing and wealth building tool (investing) to enhance your life and ministry and thus enhance the lives of many others.

Being constructed from highly-specialized information processing and storage units; designed for high density plug "n" play implementations where future expansion, serviceability, versatility, scalability and flexibility are considered to be priorities blade computing offers enterprises of all sizes many benefits. A lot of which are not immediately apparent as the actual blade units are carefully secreted away in self-contained housing units known as blade enclosures.

The Blade Computing Model

Distributed centralized specialization and resource rationalization are the fundamental tenets of the blade computing model. This means that blade enclosures such as the HP C7000 depicted in Figure 1 can be deployed in geographically dispersed locations to provide an organization with a distributed specialized central processing and servicing functionality less prone to organization-wide single-point-of-failure scenarios.

Unlike the bastion host, standard rack mounted servers or even traditional clustered servers the blade computing model generally uses more specialized units dedicated to performing fewer more specialized computing functions and processes.

To this end; many blade units are shipped with various combinations of different hardware and support systems normally associated with computers and server-class devices absent. This is because those specific functionalities are provided by the blade chassis/enclosure.

Having the blade enclosure provide many of these integral functions rather than having them duplicated by each individual blade component type saves considerably in the numbers of components incorporated into the manufacturing of each blade unit. This as you can imagine provides substantial cost savings including transport charges. In other instances other specialized blade units will be dedicated to these “missing” functionalities.

In this way many systems that have been massively duplicated and hence often grossly underutilized in the more traditional server and computing models are not to be found in the same massive numbers in the blade computing scenario. This has resulted in blades that are specialized for processing, network, storage, Input / Output (I/O) and memory subsystems.

“A blade for every function” is the phrase that comes to mind. The IBM HS20 Blade server pictured in Figure 2 has provision for two compact high-performance 2.5” SCSI hard drives.

If you need more processing power then add a blade that is loaded with multiple multi-core CPUs and oh-la-la, more processing power to brag about is yours. Similarly if it's more memory for those graphics rendering intensive applications that you require, then add a memory blade. You can even get “general purpose” blades.

Task and component specialization along with purpose-driven blade design are but two of the ways that blade computing provides greater economic rationalization and more efficient use of computing resources at all levels within the blade system.

Space and Energy Savings

The idea behind this approach is that through removing many of these over-duplicated under-utilized components considerable space savings are achievable. In addition; removing the need for at least one power supply unit (PSU) per server results in a considerable reduction in the numbers of power supply units (PSU) built into or supplied with each individual server unit.

This not only saves considerable space it also reduces the overall excess thermal energy produced during normal and stress level operating conditions. The less floor space occupied by your data center, communications, networking and computing infrastructure the less cooling it requires and the less rent you have to pay.

The result of reducing the amount of excess (waste) thermal energy production during processing is that substantial savings can be delivered on cooling solution energy requirements. This also serves to deliver the “green points” or the carbon production reduction contributions that companies are now being asked for by government, environmentalists and the general public alike.

Everyone who has placed their hand at the top rear of a switched-on ATX tower PC is only too well aware of the amount of heat that the PSU generates. Factor in the fact that the PSU is the most common component of all computers to fail and you see the sense in replacing thirty or forty cheaper PSUs with two to four more robust and reliable units.

From a big picture perspective; the fewer more expensive higher performing more efficient power supply unit solution actually has a far cheaper setup cost than the former multiplicity of PSUs solution. The HP Blade Enclosure pictured in Figure 1 only uses two superior Uninterruptable PSUs and this particular system has 16 blade servers installed.

Through the wholesale removal and replacement of older technology PSUs with dedicated leads from DC units of superior performing, less failure-prone, higher quality redundant sets of PSUs blade computing can indeed deliver considerable energy and accrued downtime loss savings.

Remember; that traditionally, it has been PSU issues that contribute nearly 75% of all IT service-related site visits. Because; datacenter downtime is the most expensive of all outage types experienced by enterprise today, reductions in this area immediately deliver considerable fiscal savings.

The Blade Enclosure

The big thing in blade computing is the engineering technologies encompassed by the blade enclosure. This is what makes it all possible. Here are some of the support features that the blade enclosures deliver:

Unit Housing - Each blade enclosure is capable of providing housing for multiple blade servers at far higher densities than traditional rack mount implementations. In fact; up to three times the number of units in the same 3D space.

Specialized Support - Blade enclosures provide housing and specialty support for specialized blade units e.g. compute, memory, storage etc.

Connectivity - The blade enclosure provides the specialized interfaces by which each individual blade units are connected (plugged into) to the chassis. As IBM make a big point of in their advertisements this can be done as a hot install without the need for attention to cabling.

The reason for this is that each blade enclosure is engineered to be preconfigured and “pre-wired” ready to accept additional post-implementation reconfiguration regardless of whether they be removals, additions or just rearrangements of the blade units housed within each enclosure.

Utility Services - The blade enclosure is usually responsible for the provisioning of redundant utility services such as electrical power and cooling for all units contained within each enclosure. I say generally since some implementations even use external power supply systems that are shared among multiple blade enclosures for additional cost and space savings.

Transformer related functionality is one aspect of power supply that does generate considerable excess thermal energy as a by-product and having this particular power supply function external to the blade does reduce the ambient temperature within each blade enclosure considerably thereby delivering additional energy consumption and fiscal savings.

Supporting Infrastructure - It is the job of the blade enclosure to provide infrastructure support such as communications, networking and various interconnects for all blade units housed within it as well as blade enclosure-to-blade enclosure interoperability.

Today this tends to be through the utilization of fiber optic networking technologies as they deliver the greatest performance, least excess thermal energy production and the greatest immunity to noise, Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) and environmental aberrations. Fiber optic networking and communications technologies are also more resistant to interception than copper and RF technologies.

Physical Security - The blade enclosure provides the physical security for those elements housed within it. Compartmentalized accessibility means that to physically access any individual blade component one need not necessarily be granted automatic physical access to every other blade unit housed within each blade enclosure by default.

Platform Management - The enclosure also either links to an administrative unit or contains an administrator interface that allows for authorized authenticated administrative functionalities to be performed upon all units contained within each enclosure. In circumstances that require it; remote administration is also possible.

Blade Unit Manufacturer Variation - Different manufacturers do have different ideas of what should be included with each blade as well as what should or should not be provided with the blade enclosure. However, it is all of these elements in combination that make the blade computing platform.

Blade Computing Benefits

The benefits of the blade computing platform include:

Minimum Size Limit Restrictions Removed - Removal of the 1U minimum size limit requirement which the traditional rack mounted server platform is stuck with. This permits greater freedom and initiatives for blade system designers and increases the overall versatility and adaptable flexibility of the blade platform as a technology and each blade enclosure and blade unit as an enterprise asset.

Higher Unit Densities - Instead of the 42 unit maximum of the standard rack it is not unusual for blade systems to hold up to 100 or more individual blade units per blade enclosure. These higher densities translate into greatly reduced floor space being occupied by the data center which in turn reduces the amount of cooling required thereby producing greater energy cost savings and a far more rounded, greener, less carbon producing computing solution.

Specialization - Through blade unit specialization further additional significant size reductions are achieved and will no doubt continue to do so. These all combine; a little by a little, eventually producing massive savings organization-wide. Larger enterprises will obviously derive greater initial savings here. The rest of us will benefit from the domino effect this produces.

Improved Energy Efficiency - The “Greener IT” motivation is becoming an ever increasing influence in technology today and will undoubtedly continue to do so in the future. Not only does blade computing reduce an organization's energy costs it also represents a much “greener” computing initiative.

Organization-Wide Consistency - Through organization-wide component consistency blade units can deliver a more uniform organizational computing environment throughout a geographically diverse enterprise.

Scalability - Enterprise scalability issues are greatly simplified with blade computing. If you require more processing power then you simply install additional compute blade units into select blade enclosures throughout the enterprise or data center.

Redundancy - For mission critical functionality and the truly paranoid blade enclosures do allow for varying degrees of redundant multiplicity of systems in highly customizable configurations and arrays.

Future-Proofing - The concept of using the blade enclosure to provide infrastructure services to multiple blade units allows much greater freedom in future proofing an organization's information technology and infrastructure investments. Even when fully loaded upgrading can mean swapping out lower performing or lower capacity blade units for better performing higher capacity units. Once again real estate savings are a strong driving factor here.

Recyclability - Blade units swapped out of their enclosures can be reused in other enclosures or even in blade enclosures at different geographical locations. In this way upgrading can become more of hand-me-down oriented which does prolong the useful life-expectancy of IT resources considerably. Through reusing units already manufactured considerable carbon production savings can be realized.

Flexibility - In today's economic climate business requires its processing facilities and solutions to be built around genuine flexibility from both the hardware and the software perspectives more than ever before. Here is one area where blades can excel by using general purpose blade units for general purpose processing tasks and specialized blade units to deliver specialized processing services where required.

For example; web page retrieval and database searches do not require the advanced vector processing that many rendering applications demand. Through the blending of special purpose blade units with general purpose and storage blades all of these computing tasks can be performed within the same enclosure.

The additional administrative flexibility offered by blade computing allows the system administrator to selectively and electively assign and reassign resources between applications/customers. Physical configuration changes can be made on the fly without the need to power down every unit within the enclosure or to attend to laborious cabling issues.

Virtualization - Another technology that the blade enclosure does lend itself to with remarkable agility is the implementation of multiple virtual computing environments. The advent of massively available mainstream multi-core microprocessor technologies have played a large part in the expansion of the deployment of virtualization technologies hosted on blade server “farms”. Once again this is all about the rationalization of information technology resources usage.

Distributed Centralized Processing - Blades are particularly suited to a distributed central processing ethos. This makes them especially desirable for Web 2.0 applications, Software-as-a-Service (S-a-a-s) and cloud computing.

Thus web hosting and cloud computing service providers can distribute their resources more evenly on a usage basis. It is most profitable to have your facility in as close a proximity to your market, customers or user-base as possible without paying for highly prominent real estate or the rents these sites ask. Ideally as close as possible to the physical location of the Internet backbone would be the most desirable of all locations for a blade center.

Young people enter the workforce shaped by those who have gone before. They are scared, a little arrogant, and full of ambition. They want to be guided into right thinking, to be given new experiences, and of course, to make lots of money. Truth be told, that is what they say is the real reason for the job. All other elements that make up their own reality define the total experience that adults call work. The higher the experience for the young person, the better results the employer will have with them. Ultimately, the business which creates positive growth experiences for its employees will reap greater financial rewards. This is what separates the good from the great, the mediocre from dynamic, and the apathetic from the motivated.

The first job provides a fresh dose of real life when the environment fits the applicant. It is difficult to pinpoint the age or time span of the first job but the facts remain that the first job experience is a stepping stone to all of life. It is a rite of passage much like getting a driver's license. Human beings were created to be productive contributors to society which includes employment, community contributions, and personal growth. Young people seek the same benefit. Having hired and led a myriad of teenagers with little or no work and life experience, the perspective I have gained in this arena is significant. The rise and fall of unemployment percentages begs the question of what makes the candidate successful at the onset and the long haul. The fact is that specific characteristics prevail which separate the good from the great. As a leader in business, I maintain a chief goal to recruit, hire and retain the best candidates. Of course, this is the goal of each employer. But what are the distinguishing qualities which stand out as the determinants of success. Further, why is this discussion so pertinent to this time period in the 21st century? These are the questions which will serve as the springboard for this dialogue.

Nutshell Truths:

• The prevailing economic environment influences hiring quality candidates.
• The savvy business leader must look for employees who provide immediate gain and residual service.
• Job skills which accompany personal skills create a valuable package for the employer.
• Young people have little to no life experience with which to build a workable skill set.
• When an employee is hired, the employer also hires the life experiences and relationships that surround the individual.
• Habits and attitudes developed from authority figures to the point of the first job influence the quality of the employment experience.
• Authority figures define the success of the young person by instilling worth and value through correct attitudes about work and life.
• The manager holds a critical role in shaping the work quality of the young person in their charge. The work ethic of the immediate supervisors creates an environment for ultimate success.
• For young people to thrive, they must be presented with a wide mix of work experiences which add value to their character and ultimate skill set.
• When young people thrive, they contribute relational benefit, develop stronger leadership skills among their peers, and become effective at problem solving.
• An employer who realizes these trends and how they relate to the long-term success of the organization has the ability to reduce turnover and produce higher levels of productivity over time.

Retention is a key quality to competing in today's workforce. More importantly, young people define the face of work over the next generation, not just for the immediate employer but for society as a whole. In this sense, retention means that the young person remains as a strong contributor in the workforce. Therefore, it is the obligation of every manager and leader to encourage, develop, and inspire work quality in this “up and coming” generation. I have had the privilege of watching once unconfident, unskilled, undeveloped young people become leaders, problems solvers, and strong contributors in society. They are training to be accountants, teachers, doctors, athletes, and men of the Armed Forces. This fact is not solely the result of one factor, but all pieces feed into the whole.

This presence of self-made awareness has created a culture which speaks to personal pleasure interpreted in the way in which we work. Larry Burkett, a renowned financial author and speaker, when speaking about the prevalence of “get-rich-quick-schemes” stated that “if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is”. The truth is that our youth have been brought up in this culture and bring its value set into the work experience. The result is a conspiracy, one which says I don't have to work to get what I want. Managers are often doing a trapeze act to entertain employees and produce results. Young people are constantly bombarded by this philosophy which poses an increased challenge to the future of American workers, the next generation. The presence of television shows like “Deal or No Deal” speaks to the absence of work as a reality. The conspiracy is one that employers must get their arms around in order to reach this new generation and create a work environment that increases productivity and yields higher rewards for the organization. The manager holds a crucial role in the understanding of this prevailing conspiracy and needs to take necessary steps to strengthen personal discipline among young people in the work place. The pressing question asks whether or not it can be influenced for future years. The answer to this query has been raised by leaders for a long period of time and one which is not going away. As leaders, we must understand the heart of our youth to tackle this effectively.

The future of the American workforce rests upon an understanding of basic qualities needed for the management of younger employees. Every person has needs which must be met by each station in life. The theories which surround the why of human behavior offer clear indicators to organizational effectiveness. As previously noted, our culture is speaking a clear message regarding what motivates the adolescent. There are a few characteristics which mark the management of youth. Operating under this pretense does not guarantee success but serves as guideline for comprehension. Maslow's hierarchy of needs indicates a realization of five basic needs, physiological, safety, social, esteem, and self actualization. Focusing attention on the last level, self actualization, it is critical to note that this is “the desire to become what one is capable of becoming”. (Hersey, Blanchard, Johnson, 2001) This desire is at the crux of team dynamic. Regardless of the theory, understanding culture is a significant portion of the solution. The following are a few suggestions for managers which tap into this critical generation.

• Remain current in modern trends among young people. Doing so will build connection with key motivators.
• Take every opportunity to increase relationships with the young people in your charge. Adolescents recognize a fraud when they see one. If a leader is transparent in each interaction interior motivators are revealed which may make headway to increase organizational efficiency.
• Develop strategies which diversify the work experience of the adolescent. In laymen's terms, cross-train every team member.
• Observe and assess the growth of each worker to ensure that skills are in line with key motivators. They will be much more productive if they sense that they add value.
• Follow-up consistently with key motivators so that management goals are running parallel to the employee. When it is not, efficiency drops dramatically.

Today's leadership of young people is a delicate and rewarding juggling act which must be balanced with cultural trends to produce organizational effectiveness.

The liberalisation of economic activities has an impact upon the nature of work of an organisation, employment, labour markets and employee. It is evident that MNCs has opened production sites at various locations around the world and these production sites can be relocated easily according to the company's objectives. This relocation of production sites of multinational companies affects the employee and HR practices.

The multinational companies are thought agents of change. They bring new information's and thinking for the local organisations and the latter follow these ideas and standard in the field of HR.

Traditionally, retailing even wholesaling is considered as a localized sector, which means composed of small-scale operations. The introduction of various laws that encourage free

trade or lessen trade barriers through international treaties has made commerce vital to attain economic growth resulting in lesser barriers in worldwide employment.

Huge multinational or national retail chains are considered among the largest businesses in many developed countries, and accounted for a huge share of the approximately US$6.5 trillion in international commercial transactions in 1997.

There are various contributing factor for this phenomenon. Leading among them are the technological advancements (including electronic commerce for instance) introduced, the international movement of enterprises and quickly spreading competition-driven changes such as just-in-time production and sales. Ironically, these are considered both the cause and result of an increasingly integrated and highly competitive global market that deeply affect the organization and human resource strategy of commercial organizations. Despite its development and dynamism, deterioration of employment and working conditions are also getting prevalent causing concern among business organizations.

The trends of regionalization and the effects of global operations have heightened the need to set up HRD strategies to acquire and retain competent workforce for them to maintain competitive market positions. The skill shortages often pertain to managerial and professional skills, clerical and production workers and an overall shortage of IT skills for all economies.

It is important to keep the capabilities of both managers and workers presently working for the business at the same time introduce structural changes to allow a smooth transition to higher value-added industries. The solution for the multi-national companies as well as local companies in production sites and strategic regional centers could be in better forecasting of HRD needs, a cost-benefit training framework, better labor market policy-making, and quality vocational and training programs that are jointly conducted by the government and the private sector.

The professionals required to fill these jobs or vacancies are not always found in the host country that is creating these jobs. Professionals to fill up these positions have to be sourced from other regions within the same country or in many cases from other countries. For example the huge demand for English teachers in Eastern Europe, China and Japan is being filled by professionals from India and England.

This is because both these countries have a large number of people proficient in English. Software jobs in the US in the late 90’s were being filled up by Indians while today Japan is doing the same. Steel industries in the break away republics of Russia are today trying to recruit professionals from the iron and steel industry in India.

Need for talent

It is difficult for head hunters to travel to different parts of the world to hire quality personnel. It is too expensive and the net is to narrow at any given point of time. In many cases the information does not reach the pool of skilled professionals. The traditional way of collecting applications and indulging in the multi-level process of interviewing and selecting the right candidates takes too long.

Today business is moving at a break-neck speed and no job, even at a lower level is filled by a candidate of low quality or lack of suitability to the situation. Vacancies have to fill up quickly. This is why internet recruiting is indispensable to all parties involved in the hiring process, job creation, and recruitment. The Internet provides an opportunity to organizations to advertise vacancies in their ranks in any part of the world to attract potential employees anywhere in the world.

Candidates seeking jobs can search for jobs in any corner of the world. Through websites organizations any number of relevant information can be made public in an instant. Potential candidates can access the information they need in the next instant. Applications and resumes can be sent via the Internet and even online interviews conducted.

Salary, work environment and fringe benefits can be communicated and discussed on the net. Thanks to web cam, the candidate can be seen in flesh by the prospective employer. These days the entire process of recruitment and hiring is completed in real time thanks to the technologies offered by the Internet.

They are coming for you

Human Resource professionals have a magic recruiting weapon with the online technologies at their disposal. We can search for required personnel from any talent pool anywhere in the world. We can process more applications that they could do ever before. Documentation retrieval is also possible through online technologies.

Speed is what makes online recruiting a force of nature. Gone are those days when jobs would be vacant for lack of applications. Today everything happens fast and furious. Human Resource professionals use online technologies to source quality manpower geographical limitations. The recruiting world has indeed shrunk and will do so in future.

You must make all the members of your team believe that each one have a key role in any project you're working in.

Meet people personal life and expectations

If you deeply know your team you will be able to give something when they need and to get something from it when the company needs them. The advantage of being human with people is that we will get it from them in double. Learn how to deal with people expectations, try to match them according to your possibilities and keep a motivated team.

Never lose your patience

Think with me. If you make a mistake and someone is rude or screams at you, you will fell bad and revolted. Everyone make mistakes sometimes.

Now imagine that instead of heel at you, the project manager softly tells you that next time you must pay more attention and calmly explains you the right procedure as if nothing has happened? Do you realise the difference?

Give to receive

It's very common that the project manager expects high levels of productivity from some team members based on their education level, organizational and communication abilities, and suddenly he finds out that not all the work is being well done. This is a very usual mistake. If you have any kind of expectations about your team, you must share them with it, identify weaknesses and give or provide external training if needed.

Exemplify everything

If you want someone to do something, whatever it is, you must give a practical example of what you want. Theory is often misunderstood. An example never fails!

Be fair and make your stars

If a member of your team is making a really good work, make everybody know about that including him. Everybody like praises, and no one wants to stay behind…

Make a break, drink a coffee and laugh

Leading a team is always about dealing with people. Don't let them work to many hours without a break, that might kill creativity and people motivation.

Increase good humour and a healthy honest work environment. Make your team understand that there are appropriated moments for everything. Time to laugh and time to concentrate! Time to work hard and time to celebrate the good result achieved by an effective team!

Walk the Walk

It isn't likely that one will succeed in finding employment if they sleep until noon each day and stay up on the computer until 3:00 A.M. each night. One needs to put their mind and body into the mindset as if they were already working. That means early to bed and early to rise. Tell yourself that you are “between jobs” not jobless.

Act and dress as you would if you were working. There are no doors of employment open at 1:00 o'clock in the afternoon so train yourself to be an early riser and a go-getter. If you have this “employed persona” about you it will seep into your ongoing search for a job and you will succeed in gaining employment. Subsequently, if you have the feel sorry for yourself and discouraged frame of mind, this radiates and spills over into your half- hearted efforts to find employment. We all know people who get laid off and are at a new place of employment the same week. Yet still we know others who it seems have been out of work for months, and often complain that nobody is hiring or they can't seem to find a job anywhere. The latter of these types of individuals is not “walking the walk” of the employed person.

Top 10 Ways to Find a Job

1. Make use of Internet resources such as Workopolis.com and online job banks.
2. Subscribe to a daily newspaper and use the “help wanted” section to your advantage
3. Use a fax machine and fax resumes (by the dozens) to companies that you would like to work for. Don't get discouraged if you don't hear back right away just keep on faxing until you do.
4. Use temporary employment agencies as a springboard to permanent employment
5. Fax or e-mail your resume to all of the temporary employment agencies that you find listed in your local phonebook. Always use a personalized cover letter and make it job specific.
6. Go to your employment office or community job resource center and register. They can be invaluable when it comes to looking for a job.
7. Take advantage of free job search resources (such as resume printing and job search help) offered by community employment centers. Some even offer telephone message answering services (for those with no telephones) so you can put a callback number on your application.
8. Check call centers and telemarketing agencies. These types of businesses often have openings and the pay will hold you over until you find something more to your liking.
9. Go door to door (to businesses) with a briefcase full of resumes. Some employers like to see the faces behind resumes and you just may arrive at a business when there is an opening that you qualify for. (Timing is everything in some cases)
10. Use your local yellow pages to call companies and see if they are accepting applications or taking résumés. If they are you can immediately fax them your resume or get your local employment center to do the faxing for you. (You can even take advantage of the free job related use of a telephone from local employment centers). .

Using these tips, your job hunting will go much smoother and be more effective. You do not want to waste yours' or anyone else's time. Having many effective job searching tools is a start to finding employment in the shortest time period necessary.
