Solidifying Your Company



Question for the Coach:
I am the CEO of a publishing house. I got here because of my strong journalistic skills and the contacts that I have built over the years. Business is good and the company is expanding. The downside is I am beginning to see the cracks on the wall caused by internal conflicts, discipline issues, high expenses, etc. What areas do you think I should be working on to solve this?

The Coach says...

Obviously, there is a lack of proper structures and processes to manage your organization. Structures are the glue that keeps everything in place and the processes are the pathways upon which people and other valuable resources flow through in orderly and highly effective ways.

They facilitate goal achievement because they clearly communicate to all on how thing are being done and they can bond people together because that's the common language that everyone understands.

Please read and apply In the 21st Century internet is widely used for everyday job. Despite the "ease" and free time offered from internet use, one should be aware of the dangers and be prepared to avoid and safeguard him/herself from any attacks his/her computer may accept or even from the "unwanted" e-mails received. Golden Rules of Protection When using the internet make sure you have an antivirus program installed in order to avoid intrusions in your Computer, If you are using wireless internet connection make sure you have your connection locked, Do not save any official documents on your Computer, such as Copy of Passport, ID, Bank account numbers, copy of cards in case your Computer is hacked or even stolen, Keep all access codes/passwords in a safe place, Do not share an e-mail address with any person, Do not reveal any access codes, passwords to any person, If you are using a public Computer, ie in an internet cafe, make sure you log out any internet sites you have visited before leaving and deleting the cookies in order to minimize the risk of someone following your tracks, Regularly change your passwords on your e-mail accounts, or any other account that requires passwords, Be careful of e-mails received.
