This is what it takes to make a meeting successful

This is what it takes to make a meeting successfulThis is what it takes to make a meeting successfulPeople tend to think of meetings in a binary way it was either a good meeting, or a bad one.I dont believe thats a fair assessment.First of all, in buchung to talk about what makes an effective company meeting, its important to define what defines a meeting. You could call two people talking in a room a meeting, and you could put a thousand people in an auditorium and call it a meeting. Which is precisely why so many companies struggle to define what makes a meeting effective, because any rule in one context can be good and in another can be bad.Speaking up is a great example. In a small group, speaking up and sharing yur ideas might be highly encouraged and seen as a good thing. In a large group, that same behavior may be seen as distracting or counterproductive.In psychology, we would call this a debate on truth. If you proclaim a generalized truth and dont realize the opposite of it is an active truth as well, then you havent actually gone that deep into the subject.I think the topic of meetings as a perfect example.Skipping past all the generalized industry-speak on best practices for meetings, here are a few things company leaders and members should consider when quantifying these time blocks1. Meetings are not always bad.There is a business stereotype that meetings are a waste of time.Theyre not.Plenty of good work is accomplished in meetings. The breakdown occurs when great opportunities arise and then people dont take advantage of them and sprint to put them into action. Which means, going back to our debate on truth, to insist that every meeting follows a rigorous agenda is to miss the other side of the coin, which is the spontaneity that happens when likeminded people are all in the same room.For example, Jeff Bezos, the prolific leader of Amazon has very specific company rules- and yet one of them is to not have tight agendas for meetings.At this years Code Conference in Rancho Palos Verdes, California, he gave this glimpse of how he runs meetings when being interviewed by The Verges Executive Editor and columnist, Walt Mossberg.I make sure all my meetings do not have tight agendas, Bezos said. Tight agendas assume you know where youre going, which for a certain kind of meeting is right, like if youre doing your weekly business review and going through your metrics. But most meetings should be used for mild brainstorming. Thinking you know exactly where youre going is a lack of humility that doesnt let you invent, he said.Better agendas arent the answer. Most people get that wrong.Studies, in fact, show the opposite. Meetings that are lightning efficient with tight agendas accounting for every minute dont forge effective teams, just groups of individuals. The back and forth dialogue, giving everyone a gelegenheit to speak, understanding where people are coming from, are not what you do if youre optimizing efficient meetings. Its what you do if youre trying to create effective teams.2. The bigger you get (as a company), the harder you have to work to stay concise.Here at Morphic, I can say were not a very meeting-centric culture, which is by design.In biotech, particularly, I value our scientists spending time deep in thought and working hard to solve new problems, far more than I value how quickly they respond to an email- or how many meetings they attend.Now, what Ive seen in creating this sort of company culture is that even though we have less company meetings, the compromise is that our meetings are far more intense. Attendees are expected to put in the effort and bring their A-game, and the reason is so we can continue to protect each others time.In order to do this effectively, platforms like Slack allow everyone to know whats going on, at any moment. Theres no need to set aside meeting time to go around the room and share status updates because everyone already knows the information. Which means far more time can be spent in discussion, instead of disseminating the information and getting everyone up to speed.So, another thing leaders tend to get wrong is in thinking meetings are the appropriate time to update everyone on everything. Personally, Ive found this to be an unnecessary use of time. Be biased to more intense activities over shallow ones.3. What you bring to the table in a meeting can define you (for good or bad).This is a fairly brutal truth, but one thats worth acknowledging.I have been in plenty of employee evaluation discussions regarding employee performance, specifically high-potential employees. And Ive found that if an employee does something either extremely good or extremely bad during a meeting, its remembered forever.I remember early on in my career- very early on- I would mark meetings on my calendar at least a week in advance, so I could prepare. I dont mean for a presentation, I mean also when other people are presenting or bringing things to the table, because I wanted to provide thought-out commentary, make thoughtful critiques, and be a beneficial part of the team.Its unfortunate, but a good many employees dont take advantage of the opportunities company meetings provide.They just sort of show up, or assume they can wing it.But I am believer that if youre not going to be an active participant at a meeting, you might as well just not show up. At least that way youre not wasting your time. In the real world, theres more downside than upside in that situation.Its an opportunity cost.This post was originally published on Quora.com.

How to Protect Yourself Before Resigning From a Job

How to Protect Yourself Before Resigning From a JobHow to Protect Yourself Before Resigning From a JobYou have been with a company for several years.At one point, you were viewed as indispensable to the company.Co-workers feared the idea of you leaving. You were key to the companys success. If you were gone, everything would fall apartBut lately, going to work seems more like getting the red carpet treatment. You show up, make a few calls, write a few emails, and all else runs like a well-oiled machine.There are no challenges left and no room for growth. You know in your heart it is time to resign and let someone new take over.And now, you have an incredible offer from another company that is too good to pass up.Here is how to protect yourself before resigning in order to preserve your reputation and positive relationships.1. Start to talk like a person who is interested in exploring new opportunitiesThe last thing you want to do is quit without a warning. Showing up, quitting, and l eaving the saatkorn day is an unprofessional move that leaves a company scrambling to avoid issues.If you know you are going to leave the company or thinking strongly about it, let your boss know about your problem with not being given new challenges, salary increases, or growth opportunities.The boss can respond in two waysStart making plans to replace youMake a solid effort to provide you with growth opportunitiesBe careful how you word this. If you break trust with your company by announcing, I am leaving soon, they will help you exit the company before you are prepared.Ultimately, by being transparent, when it comes time to leave, your decision will earn you respect.2. Proactively plan ahead to help the company when you are goneAll bosses are concerned with experiencing backfill after an employee resigns. They fear the possible workload and chaos that may follow with your departure.Create an exit strategy that helps the staff and boss deal with your workload after you leave.Try and finish up as much work as possible, too.Sitting around doing nothing for the last two weeks of your job ends your time with the company on a sour note.You want to be seen as a respected professional from day one, all the way up to the week after you are gone. Leave the company wanting more of you after you are gone.Your positive reputation may even get you re-hired down the road if thats what you want.3. Get active on LinkedIn againTime to start inviting those 2nd-degree connections to chat. Time to start messaging your 1st-degree connections.And start reaching out to those 3rd-degree connections, too.Let them know what you have been up to and that you are going to be job searching soon.Never say anything negative about your current job. Only have good things to say, if connections start to ask about your current company.Show yourself as the model employee any company would find valuable.Be helpful. Pay it forward and see if you can help others in your job search situation.4. Av oid keeping it real or getting emotional about quittingThere can be a temptation to keep it real when leaving a company, especially when you are not happy at work.Avoid revealing that true, dark side behind your decision to leave. Never get emotional and start pointing fingers at the company for doing wrong by you.You are on your way out of the company, but that does not mean your former company has lost its importance to your career growth. You will need references one day for future job interviews.The easy way out is to just quit and leave, but isnt that just being lazy and avoiding confrontation?Go out like a professional, which is the same way you came in.

How to Ace the 7-second Resume Test

How to Ace the 7-second Resume TestHow to Ace the 7-second Resume TestThis post was originally posted on YouTern.We get asked all the time How do I get a recruiter to actually care about my resume? The answer is simple you have to pass the 7-Second Resume Test.Depending on who you listen to, it is widely believed that an applicant has between 6 and 10 seconds to impress the resume reader the recruiter.Here, then, is my version of the 7-second test and exactly what I look for, step-by-step, when I glance at a resume and determine pass or fail.Second 1 ConfidenceHow do you show confidence in a one-dimensional document? SimpleStart with your name in the header bold and pronounced. Then clearly show me your contact information, separated by lots of white space so I dont have to squint to find your email address. Next, show me a bulleted summary of your skills and not just a bunch of buzzwords I want a clear indication that you understand your strengths and how those may apply to my co mpany.Fail to impress me with a clear display of confidence and your resume wont last one second.Second 2 Social Media LinksLike many decision makers, I live in a digital world so I want to see links to your career-relevant social media profiles.Typically, LinkedIn and Twitter are enough to show a professional presence. If you would also like to send me to an About.me or similar, thats fine. Facebook and other personal sites, however, are of no interest to me and its always a red flag of sorts to see those links on a resume.Why do I care about your social media presence in second two of my resume review? landsee step one above by showing me where you live online, you reveal another level of confidence.Second 3 White SpaceI cant emphasize this enough white space counts, a lot.If your resume is packed into a document at 0.4 margins and 9 point fonts with no space between sections and paragraphs this shows me youre trying WAY too hard. Just like the person who cant let a single mom ent go by during a conversation without filling it with inane banter, your resume is screaming Im nervous please like meDont kill your resume in 3 seconds let the recruiters eyes bounce from section to section freely, and comfortably.Second 4 Too Much TextSimilar to the white space issue the use of way too many words is a resume killer.Long paragraphs and run-on sentences are another sign of anxiety, maybe desperation. You should be able to articulate your accomplishments in one line. Period.Do you really think a recruiter wants to read or has time to read a 1,200 word resume? They wont and in just the fourth second, that resume youve worked on for hours is in the recycle bin.Second 5 NumbersWhen I look at a resume, I dont care WHAT you did I care about your work ethic and whether or not you were good at your job. More specifically, I care whether youll be that good, or better, at my company. I care about performance.That means your resume must contain quantified statements lik e exceeded quota by 132%, Met deadlines in 97% of assigned projects and managed highly successful event for 500 donors. Even a more generic consistently in the Top 5% of my team is better than nothing and shows you understand how your performance is being measured.No quantified statements on your resume? Your resume didnt make it five seconds, and Im now looking for another candidate who gets it.Second 6 AchievementI have a theory about inferred contributionSimply put, this theory says that if you won awards, competed on a high level and were a high-impact contributor at your last position you will do the same at my company. Some of this can be articulated through the quantified statements above, of course. However, as I scan your resume I look for other signs that youre a high-achiever perhaps monthly or annual awards, acknowledgement by an industry expert or academic institution, being named to a Top list in blogging, digital or social media, or similar.Show me you are proud of your relevant accomplishments and in second six, you are well on your way to impressing me.Second 7 LeadershipAh, the final test is it clear that you embrace leadership in a team-focused work environment?This is the last hurdle. Have you been a leader? Do you embrace the idea of being a forerunner? Are you willing to stick your neck way outside your comfort zone to make a team better? Or are you the type that just does what youre told in the hintergrund?If I can tell you are the type that leads, regardless of the title on your business card you have passed my seven second test and are on your way to a phone interview, and perhaps a jobApply this seven second test to your resume. Then ask yourself will you pass, or fail?CEO and Founder of YouTern, Mark Babbitt is a serial mentor who has been quoted in the Wall Street Journal, Mashable and Forbes regarding job search, career development, internships and higher educations role in preparing emerging talent for the workforce.

How to deal with decisions about March Madness at work

How to deal with decisions about March Madness at work How to deal with decisions about March Madness at work Every Spring a national event captures the attention of millions of employees: the NCAA “March Madness” basketball tournaments.Individuals who are die-hard basketball fans, those who may follow their local college team when they are doing well, and people who just like to pick teams according to their mascots â€" all become intrigued and involved in following the games.Follow Ladders on Flipboard!Follow Ladders’ magazines on Flipboard covering Happiness, Productivity, Job Satisfaction, Neuroscience, and more!  Understanding March MadnessWhile “March Madness” is typically referred to as a singular event, those familiar with the tournaments know that they actually are a series of games and regional tournaments over a three-week period. The process begins with “Selection Sunday” where the 68 teams who get to play in the tournament are announced. Individuals then fill out their game brackets to choose who they think will win individual games and eventually, the championship . There often are informal pools for betting on the winners, and more formal versions fans set up on the Internet. The “win or leave” format takes teams from pre-tournament play-in games, through the “Sweet Sixteen”, “Elite Eight”, the “Final Four” and then the championship game.The impact of March Madness on workWhy is it important for supervisors, managers and employers to understand March Madness? Because for many employees, March Madness becomes an important part of their life, influencing their thought time, emotions, and relationships â€" both personally and at work. And secondly, because many of the games (especially in the first two weeks) are played during the day on weekdays. This creates some challenges at work.When a game is being played, it is available to be watched or listened to on television, radio and the computer. So, many employees are distracted from their work while a game important to them (or for some people, any game) is being played. Sometim es, when a local team is playing, seemingly the whole city or vicinity “shuts down” to watch â€" and the experience can actually become a team building experience among colleagues (including good natured teasing for those rooting for the opponent).The dilemmas raisedThis raises the question for managers:  how should we handle these situations? Do we give people the freedom to watch (essentially, providing “time off” of work)? Do we set up a formal process where they can use “personal time” to watch the game? If they are salaried employees, do we allow them to manage their time as they wish as long as they fulfill their obligations? Do we make no allowances and suggest they record the game to watch later? What do we do if we know people are watching “on the sly” at their desks or lingering longer in the break room? Some guiding principlesThere are numerous, overlapping issues that need to be considered, including any legal implications regarding unequal treatment of employees, how to serve your clients best, decision-making and communication processes, and staff morale.Let me make some suggestions that can help avoid creating undesired results: Whatever options you are considering, be sure and pass them by your HR manager  (or your HR legal consultant) to make sure you are not breaking any laws or creating significant risk for being sued for how you handle the issue. Understand that individuals feel valued and appreciated in different ways  (words of praise, time and attention, help with projects, and tangible gifts are some.)  While watching the NCAA tournament games may not be important to you, to some of your employees it is extremely so. Think of someone who attends all of the games, goes to ‘away’ games, wears the college’s sportswear, and talks  a lot  about the team. You can really “hit the mark” by making it possible for them to watch the game â€" and employees often respond with sincere appreciation and a higher sense of loyalty to you. Discuss the situation with your management team, sales and customer service representatives and make sure you understand the needs of your clients,  approaching deadlines, and how you can be responsive during the games, when needed. Consider the Benefits, Costs and Potential Risks. Although there are many options on the continuum, if we simplify the options into: a) giving employees flex time to watch the games, and b) not allowing employees to watch the games during work, the following results can be considered. COMMUNICATE.  COMMUNICATE.  What seems like a good idea (and a fairly innocuous way of being nice to your employees) can become a nightmare, leading to hurt feelings and frustration, and even major conflict, unfortunately.  Talk with your managers and supervisors. Get input from those you know who are interested in watching the games, and hear from those who have no interest at all. Then be clear who is making the decision, how and by when the decision will be made, and the alternatives available (people love choices). Consider including communicating the principles and factors by which the decision was made. Final issues to considerThere is no right or wrong answer for how best to deal with March Madness in the workplace. And the choice you make  may  vary according to the specific circumstances this year â€" your local team is involved, there are too many deadlines to meet, etc.Essentially, the issue becomes a cost / benefit analysis: Are the relational and morale benefits worth the hassle? How much complaining might there be from non-interested employees? Is it necessary to determine equivalent ways to give others some time off? Regardless of what you choose, enjoy the tournament!This article originally appeared on Appreciation at Work.You might also enjoy… New neuroscience reveals 4 rituals that will make you happy Strangers know your social class in the first seven words you say, study finds 10 lessons from Benjamin Franklin’s daily schedule that will double your productivity The worst mistakes you can make in an interview, according to 12 CEOs 10 habits of mentally strong people

Type delete type What writers do (or Why Im editing my life)

Type delete type What writers do (or 'Why I’m editing my life') Type delete type What writers do (or 'Why I’m editing my life') I’m currently working on a book project, which explains why I found myself binge-watching videos on Instagram the other day.In my senseless searching, I stumbled across a video of an author speaking to a group of writers, where she admits, to her own chagrin, that she just spent the day editing her introduction for the tenth time instead of writing.She said, “I spent three hours moving words around on a page, thinking I was writing. But I wasn’t writing. I wasn’t adding a word to my word count. I was hiding.”The audience applauded.This both inspired and troubled me. It inspired me because I had literally just done this that day: editing and re-editing the introduction to a new book I’m writing with a friend. And I wondered now if I had just wasted my time.And it troubled me because it seems shortsighted. Part of writing is not writing. Of course, you can’t complete a book if you never get past a few hundred words on a page. But at the same time, so much of writing is no t just creation. It’s curation. All good writing is rewriting, they say.Type. Delete. Type.  This is what we writers do. And it cannot be ignored, avoided, or accelerated. You put the words on the page, rearrange them, remove some of them, add more words, and at some point get something that looks complete.It’s never really finished, of course. That’s the beauty and tragedy of it all. You can always tinker and play with it, and many do just that.F. Scott Fitzgerald always carried around a copy of  The Great Gatsby  with him wherever he went, because he was never fully satisfied with it, making constant notes and corrections to it until the end of his life.Fitzgerald was continually chasing the ideal of his art and never finding it. Maybe, in a way, we all are.So let’s talk about that.In addition to this blog post, I also recorded a podcast to expand on the idea of what writers really do. You can listen to it here.Why Grady Tripp couldn’t stop writing (or when writing isn†™t writing)Recently, I watched a movie about writers called  Wonder Boys. In it, the main character Grady Tripp’s first novel was a big hit, and now he is struggling to finish his next book. Years past deadline, he is constantly under the influence of drugs and alcohol, and everyone thinks he’s blocked.Turns out, Grady is not blocked at all. He’s written well over 2,000 pages, pages about horse genealogies and dental records and who knows what else. When a student calls him out for not making any choices, he gets defensive.But then (spoiler alert) in an interesting turn of events, he loses the manuscript. It flies out the window and goes straight into the river. Afterward, someone asks what the book was about, and Grady says, “I don’t know.”“If you don’t know what the story was about, then why were you writing it?”“Because,” he admits, “I couldn’t stop.”Writing is not just about meeting a word count. It is about saying something. Just because you’re typ ing doesn’t mean you’re communicating. And just because you’re deleting doesn’t mean you aren’t making progress.Why everything must die before it can be rebornWhen you feel stuck, the worst thing you can do is stop. The second worst thing you can do is keep going in the wrong direction. This is true in writing, and this is true in life. Editing is as much a part of the writing process as composition.Making something is not just about adding a new piece to the larger whole. Sometimes, it’s about taking something away. And we’re not just talking about writing anymore, are we?Lately, I’ve been reconsidering some of my most deeply-held beliefs. As one friend put it, “I’m taking some dusty ideas off the shelf, re-examining them, and deciding if I want to put them back on the shelf.”For a while, I felt bad about this until a psychotherapist/priest friend of mine explained that all healthy spiritual and emotional journeys follow a simple process of deconstruction and reconstruction. Here’s he describes it: Thesis:  First you believe something. Antithesis:  Then you believe the opposite of that something. Synthesis:  Then you find a way to reconcile the something with its seeming contradiction. (Side note: Rob Bell has a pretty interesting podcast on this concept  here.)It is in a paradox that truth is found and often deepened. We sometimes have to destroy what we’ve built to create something better.Everything is always ending, and everything is always beginning. That was made clear to me the other weekend when I had a friend die, another friend announced he was getting divorced, and another friend decided to leave his job and strike out on his own. All in a weekend.Endings and beginnings. That’s life.  And that’s writing.The trick, it seems, is not to keep doing what you’re doing. It’s to edit. To ask why you’re doing it in the first place. I’m currently doing this with my life and my business, and my writing- and it’s scary as hell. But it also feels right. Because I know some things can’t be born until other things die.Creation is always an act of resurrection.How’s the writing going?So when someone asks you, “How’s the writing going?” and you†™ve deleted more words than you’ve typed today, don’t feel bad.Sometimes, finishing is overrated (don’t tell my friend Jon I said that).When you find yourself working on that book and the word count doesn’t measure up to the goal, understand you are probably more on track than you realize. You are doing the work. Type. Delete. Type. Remember?Don’t just measure what you’ve done but also what you’re doing. They both matter. The secret to doing good work is not just about crossing finish lines. It’s about running good races.Some races we finish, and some we only begin. But most of us got into this work not to amass a bunch of medals but for the joy of the run. Almost every great writer dies with an incomplete manuscript, and maybe this is as it should be. They died doing what they loved - not finishing, but creating.Plus, you never know what might happen to those abandoned and incomplete works. I always loved that Tolkien story “Leaf By Niggle” in which an artist s pends his entire life working on a single painting of a tree and never finishes it.Then in the afterlife, he discovers not only the tree but a whole forest and a garden for him to tend. What he began in one life, he was able to complete in another. And what he could only imagine in one life became a reality in another.Maybe that’s how it works. We chase the ideal, and all our vain efforts to make something measure up are just that - vain. Vain but beautiful and even more important: worthwhile.What better way to spend a life than in pursuit of the true, the good, and the beautiful? That’s how I’m trying to spend mine, anyway.Oh, and those Fitzgerald edits I mentioned, the mere tinkerings of an obsessive perfectionist? Well, after the author’s death, that old, marked-up copy of  Gatsby  was discovered. And the edits he made ended up in future versions of the book. So you just never know what comes from a work you start but never quite finish.This  article  first appeared on   Goins, Writer.

Obscure Business Cards

Obscure Business Cards Obscure Business Cards Remember that you’re not just dishing out your phone number and email address any more; a modern card can also include LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook addresses along with the company website. It’s all advertising, and an ingenious business card can have real impact; take a look at these cards, adorned with human sweat. You can produce cheap business cards which are purely functional and this is often enough, but if you’re working in the creative industries there seems to be active competition as to who can invent the best business card â€" presuming it’s a reflection on your creative powers. Cards with multiple dimensions and pop-ups are becoming popular and some will even put ‘a face to a name’ by printing your image on the body of the card. Business cards needn’t even be a formal ‘card’, they can come in the form of a balloon, Lego figures, USB sticks or any neat object that you can probably think of. Packets of seeds, cheese graters, combs and variety of objects have all been made into business cards.  If you can think of something handy which the recipient might keep, you’re business card will serve as a constant and useful reminder. Think about the nature of your business and how you could draw attention to your product via something synonymous with the trade.  A bathroom fitter could issue bath plugs with his own company moniker and contact details, a hair salon could hand out combs with contact details, or a bakery could have edible business cards. The important thing is, it’s all advertising and anyone in the business world needs an effective business card â€" even if it isn’t as outlandish as the ones mentioned here. For many businesses an air of professionalism and gravity is the most important factor. If you’re after a new business card that exudes an air of authority, consider companies like Instant Print for their experience in the trade. Who knows where the future of business cards will end up: some have proposed augmented reality where your card comes alive with the right digital paraphernalia. Maybe cards will interface directly with your phone, calling the service on contact with the card or perhaps the business card will simply remain a good old memory cue. No matter how much times change, a few basic business artifacts will remain essential. What do you think? What does the future hold for traditional business cards? Seen any crazy cards lately that really stuck out?

7 of the most common mistakes recruiters make

7 of the most common mistakes recruiters make 7 of the most common mistakes recruiters make If you do it correctly, executive recruiting can be a rewarding job.You get to work with interesting people, immerse yourself in diverse professions, and bring people together in a way that might not have been possible without you.But if you do the job incorrectly, it can become a constant battle against your bad habits.We all know that repeating the same mistakes is destructive, but some of those mistakes- especially in recruiting- can be hard to spot. The only way to fight them is to become aware of them and reflect on your work with a discerning eye.Here are a few of the most common bad habits to look out for.Mistake #1: You mistake activity for productivityMost executive recruiters want to do a good job. They’re inspired- they want to find the best candidate for their client.But many recruiters misinterpret “good” as “busy.” They waste time and energy, and ultimately, they burn themselves out.I’ve made this mistake in my own career by falling prey to paralysis by anal ysis- immersing myself so heavily in research that I forgot what it was I was hired to do.For example, one time I was tasked with finding a Controller for a public semiconductor company. I vaguely knew what a semiconductor was, but I had no idea what a controller did. So rather than pick up the phone and get to work, I decided to teach myself all there was to know about the state of the semiconductor industry and way more about Sarbanes-Oxley than anyone should.This was a mistake. Nobody cares about how much research I did or how many hours I put in. My job was to get candidates on the phone, tell them about the opportunity, and get them talking to my partner, who actually knew all he needed to know about the company, the industry, and the role. In my research, I forgot what my role was and what I was expected to do.Productivity is measured by results- not effort.Mistake #2: You’re too rigid in your approachExecutive recruiting necessitates creativity and the ability to adapt. Man y recruiters, however, operate with protocols inherently rigid in design.Reaching out to candidates via email might work for one role, but not for others. Cold calling candidates might pique some folks’ interest, but it might annoy others. In reaching out to CEOs, you will likely need a more tailored, personalized approach- one that shows you’ve done your research. Engineers, on the other hand, might require only a short note.Sticking with one strategy simply doesn’t work. Your approach should differ depending on the situation, industry, and market.Mistake #3: You use too many email templatesAlong the same lines, using templates to lend even more rigidity to your recruiting process is a further step in the wrong direction.Recruiters use templates because they think it increases their efficiency. They think it allows them to reach more candidates at a faster clip. They think that wider reach increases their odds of finding a qualified candidate and eliminates the opportunity fo r mistakes.But that’s not always the case. In fact, templates can ironically make recruiters more prone to mistakes. I recently received an email from a recruiter that started off, “Dear FIRST NAME, I’m really impressed by your work at INSERT COMPANY.”There’s no better way to turn off a candidate than by revealing the machinery behind the curtain.Mistake #4: You get people excited â€" and then ghost themAs a recruiter, an unavoidable component of your job will be telling candidates that the client ended up going with another candidate. It can be difficult, but you have to do it. You owe it to the candidate to give them clarity and closure.Some recruiters, however, eschew this step in the process.That is always a mistake. Ghosting reflects poorly on you, your firm, and your reputation. It hurts feelings. It’s a bit like going on a great first date and then never giving the girl or guy a call back. People remember.Mistake #5: You over-personalize the processOne reason recr uiters don’t like informing candidates that they haven’t been picked for a role is because they’ve over-personalized the process. They fear their candidate will think they weren’t picked because the company didn’t like them.Recruiters can’t let themselves be so emotional. Executives recruiters are in the business of telling candidates “No.” Good or bad, it’s a part of the job. After all, you can only place one candidate per search.But it’s also true that in the hiring process, personality and cultural fit are not usually considered until the very end. This means that in the recruiting process, nothing should be personal, either. In your communications with candidates and clients, you have to be honest, constructive, and transparent.Being short-sighted or afraid of hurting feelings is a mistake. At the end of the day, it’s always better to be professional. People respect that. And if you try to weasel around it, everyone knows.Just be honest. Don’t burn any br idges, and don’t badmouth your client or your candidate. Be professional.Mistake #6: You don’t stand up for your processEqually inevitable, though, is the fact that on the client side, some of the people you work with are going to be unreasonable. They’re going to contradict previous requests. They’re going to make outlandish statements, or be spurious in their feedback, or impede upon your process.As a recruiter, you need to be confident in your process and know when to defend it.This might look like providing feedback to the client on their feedback. It might look like advocating for yourself and your reasoning, which you can do by documenting and referencing your process using a search platform like Clockwork. Documenting your discussions with your clients and getting their feedback on each important stage of the recruiting process will make the search go more smoothly.If you can look yourself in the mirror and honestly say you’ve done the best job you can, then you sho uld have the confidence to stand up for yourself.Many recruiters don’t, and as a result, they corrupt their process.A better alternative- even if it gets you fired- is to do your job the way you know is best (and have the CYA materials to back it up).Mistake #7: You bombard candidatesLastly, one of the most common mistakes executive recruiters make is inundating candidates’ inboxes. You send them an email in the morning and then again in the afternoon. You follow up the next day. You write something cute like, “You must be getting chased by a hippo,” because 1) you saw that somewhere, and 2) why else wouldn’t a candidate respond to your awesome emails?!This is another great way to annoy candidates who might otherwise be interested in the position you’re recruiting for. Emailing candidates can be an effective technique, but imposing on candidates as if responding to you is an obligation almost always backfires.It’s the equivalent of being approached by an insistent soli citor holding a sign: your first response is, “Leave me alone.”It’s better, instead, to temper your follow-ups. Candidates are busy, and they don’t owe you anything.I’ve found a more effective approach is asking for help. Source people for people. Tell them- succinctly- what type of candidate you’re looking for and ask them if they know anyone that might be interested. They just might know someone. They also might be interested themselves. You’d be surprised at the increase in responses you get. People- when asked nicely- like to help if they can.As is the case in any profession, executive recruiters are bound to make mistakes- all of us are.But if you can learn from those mistakes and actively avoid them moving forward, that’s how you build strong habits conducive to success.Christian Spletzer, Founder and CEO of Clockwork RecruitingThis post was originally published on Quora.com.

8 ways working parents can fit fitness into their days

8 ways working parents can fit fitness into their days 8 ways working parents can fit fitness into their days When was the last time you scheduled an hour in the day just for you? If you’re a working parent, you probably look at the calendar and think, “Who in their right mind lives like this?”Between getting the kids dressed and ready for school, the 4  p.m. work meeting, and soccer practice before the sun goes down, many parents struggle to find time to get it all done. And when life gets hectic (as it almost always is), exercise is often the first thing to go.But what happens when this lack of self-care begins to affect  your overall health and wellbeing?Kelli Segars, co-owner of the online-workout site,  Fitness Blender, said  that to a lot of us, “Exercise looks like the easiest thing to cut out when life gets really hectic - it feels optional, or extra, maybe even a little self indulgent at times.”What many people don’t realize though, is that it does not have to be an “all or nothing” mentality.In fact, Dr. Paul Arciero, a doctor of physiology of exercise and the crea tor of the app  Geniofit, which suggests exercises for the family to do together, said he believes the best way to combat this hectic lifestyle is to make exercise a part of your daily routine.“Research consistently shows that exercise reduces stress and improves mood,” he said.Arciero also emphasized the proven benefits of exercise to physical health and cognitive function across the age spectrum.Here are eight tips for busy parents to fit fitness in, increase their overall health and wellbeing, and still have time for family and work duties.  1. Make exercise a priorityFinding time to workout really comes down to two basic strategies: you either look for small windows of time in your day to multi-task and squeeze a workout in - or  you take the kids with you.So, before you decide to take a black Sharpie to your workout, remember that “exercise is not just an investment in yourself, but also an investment in bettering yourself for everything you put effort into,” Segars sa id.2.  Don’t overthink itAt a minimum, adults need 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity every week and muscle-strength training activities on two or more days a week. That’s the equivalent of watching your favorite movie - and somehow there’s always time for that.3. Don’t worry about when you exerciseMany people wonder when the best time of day to workout is. And my answer is often, “The one you will stick with.” Some people make it a habit to workout prior to starting the workday, while others swear by the stress release they get from hitting it hard after work.4. Set a goalWhether it’s training for your first 5K, losing weight, or mastering a few yoga poses, find an activity you enjoy and commit to it. Schedule weekly training sessions, and write them on your calendar or put them in your phone - just like you would a doctor’s appointment.If running or walking is your exercise of choice, consider signing-up for a race that supports a charity you beli eve in. You’re less likely to quit if completing the event means other people will benefit.5. Get creative with your stepsTracking steps is all the rage right now, so why not put your fitness tracker to use with some creative ways to get your step count up? Walk back and forth the next time you’re on the phone, do laps around the soccer field while your child practices, and if work consists of sitting most of the day, get up and go for a short walk every couple of hours.6. Try the 10 x 3 planIf your goal is to exercise 30 minutes a day, try breaking up the time into three separate workouts. Take a 10-minute walk first thing in the morning, another 10-minute walk at lunch, and complete your 30 minutes with the final 10-minute walk after work.7. Involve your kids when you canThis can be a real time-saver for working parents who struggle with being away from their kids outside of the work day. Not only does making exercise a family affair benefit the adults, it also helps your kids . Exposing kids to fitness at a young age has benefits that will last a lifetime. In fact, one study found a child engaged in more physical activity if their mother made exercise a high priority.If you have an infant, consider investing in a quality jogging stroller and training for a 5K. For toddlers and young children, find something active they enjoy - kickball, bike riding, playing catch, swimming, dancing, soccer, and racket sports are all forms of exercise that are guaranteed to get your heart pumping.8. Work out at homeOn-the-go exercise programs have become hugely popular in the last several years as more and more people struggle to find time in the day for one more thing. At-home workouts offer flexibility, affordability, and convenience. Not to mention, your kids can get in on the fun too. They will love challenging you to a set of push-ups or high knees.With a little bit of planning, a touch of creativity, and a whole lot of flexibility, busy parents can find a way to fi t fitness in, increase their overall health and wellbeing, and still have time for family and work duties.

6 Things to Do on Your Last Day of Work

6 Things to Do on Your Last Day of Work 6 Things to Do on Your Last Day of Work On your last day of work, something akin to senioritis sets in: you’re so eager for what comes next that you probably aren’t focusing too much on what’s happening right in front of you. But it’s important to make  your last day of work a productive one - not just to wrap things up, but to set yourself up for success in the future. “Assuming you didn’t have a horrible employee experience from day one, you owe it to your soon-to-be former employer to give them your best work right up until the end,” says Heather Huhman, Generation Y career expert and founder of Come Recommended . “It’s perfectly OK - and even expected - to be excited about your new opportunity, but you’re still being paid until you walk out the door for the last time. Plus,” she points out, “you never know when you might cross paths again , so it’s best to go out on a positive note.” So before you punch out for the last time, here are six things to do on your last day of work. Someone is stepping into your shoes. So before you leave, make sure you have a plan in place to pass along what you know to the new guy or gal, says Huhman. “One of the hardest parts about losing an employee is all the knowledge about the organization and their role within it that they take with them,” she points out. “Figuring out a way to capture and transfer this knowledge must obviously start before your last day, but don’t leave without finalizing it and letting someone else know how to access it.” If your former work gig came with an expense account, “make sure to connect with  your  team on which new card to use so that you  do  not get charged and they don’t get left without the service if you cancel everything altogether,” suggests millennial career expert Jill Jacinto . What’s more, make sure you switch over any password-protected information to your boss. When you say goodbye to your coworkers and higher-ups, hand our your phone number and personal email address. “Actively seek out the people who matter to you and let them know how they can reach you moving forward,” suggests Huhman. Bad at answering emails or returning calls? Then consider connecting on Facebook or other social media platforms , Huhman says. “I personally find it’s easier to stay in touch with people on a large scale via Facebook over any other method,” she admits. You don’t want to leave work with an outstanding bill - especially one that is owed to you. So, Jacinto recommends that you “go over  your  bills to make sure you are paid up on  your  expenses. Is there a meal, a shipping cost, or a conference ticket you are still waiting on getting compensated for?” If so, “make  your  case before you leave and it’s fresh in  your  mind,” she says, and try to set up the payment before you go. You’ve got your eye on the door. But taking the time for an exit interview before you split will help your former employer understand how he or she can improve - which can benefit your replacement. “Especially at smaller organizations, exit interviews are not always par for the course,” says Huhman, so you will likely have to ask. “But it’s important for the organization’s leaders to understand exactly why you are leaving and how they can improve the organization and your former role moving forward.” “Once you give your notice, set a goal for yourself to accomplish by your last day,” suggests Huhman. “Perhaps even meet with your immediate supervisor to develop the goal together.” Why would you do that, you might wonder? “This situation is a win-win,” promises Huhman. “Your soon-to-be former employer will remember you fondly as an employee who gave their all until the end, and you will walk away accomplished” - talk about ending on a high note!

Are You Using All Your Resources

Are You Using All Your Resources Are You Using All Your Resources Push, pull and receive business opportunities using your “three energies.”Rachelle is a CEO of a startup Internet company. In 2009, her company did well.So what’s the problem?Like any entrepreneur, Rachelle was pleased with her company’s success â€" but she was not so sure how she’d gotten there.“I just do it intuitively,” she explained. “I’m not aware of my process. I’d like to bring it more to consciousness so that I can use it intentionally.”Rachelle wants to make sure she’s growing her company wisely, so at the beginning of the year, she looked at what she’d done in 2009 and decided that one of her goals in 2010 was to better understand how she’d achieved those successful results.On the job-seeker front is Fred, formerly an SVP in an oil company. He’s frustrated that his job search is taking so long.“I want to make sure that I am doing all that I can,” he said.Like Rachelle and Fred, business professionals and job seekers alike share a common goa l: gaining awareness about how they are operating so they can use all their inner resources.The Three EnergiesAll human beings have three ways of using their energy. Since most of us are unaware of this, we tend to default to one or two modes, and therefore miss the opportunity to maximize our success. When we become aware of the options, though, we can deploy the energies we need at the right time.DynamicThe first way to use our energy is dynamically. This is the energy of action â€" make a plan, send an e-mail, have a conversation, build a model. Dynamic energy is the one most of us are familiar with, the one that Western culture accentuates. It’s exemplified best by the Nike slogan â€" “Just do it.” Think of it as “pushing” energy. When Fred and Rachelle looked at their style, they each agreed that they spend a lot of their energy this way.MagneticThe second way to exercise energy is magnetically. It’s the energy of wanting and believing you can get what you want, or the energy of attraction: You focus on a goal and draw it to you as if you were a magnet. You see, feel and hear what you want to happen in front of you and then pretend you’re a fishing rod, cast your energy out to what you want and reel it in. Think of it as “pull” energy.Though the movie and book, “The Secret,” popularized “pull” energy, many business people are new to the concept. Regardless, we all know what it’s like. It’s what we experience when we say someone is “charismatic.” You meet someone and are drawn to him. Whether he knows it or not, he is using his energy magnetically to bring you close. You can also see it in people who seem to be “lucky.” They do very little, but opportunities keep dropping in their laps.When Rachelle thought about this, she realized she used her energy magnetically all the time to attract business deals and contacts. Fred, however, couldn’t recall sensing magnetic energy.“It sounds kooky,” he said. “But I guess I’m desperate enough to try anything.”ReceptiveThe third way to employ your energy is receptively. This energy leaves you open to receive whatever hunches, intuitive feelings or direction from others may come in. It neither pushes nor pulls. Instead, you stop doing and absorb the world through all your senses. In this way, you allow yourself to be influenced. Receptive energy creates insight, which is why great discoveries often happen when we “give up” and do something mindless: Newton lying under the tree and having an apple fall on his head, Archimedes in the bathtub.When we’re receptive, we not only open up to our own inner knowing but allow ourselves to be influenced by others. Because we’ve slowed down, we’re more able to see, hear and feel the signs indicating the path of least resistance to where we want to go. Instead of dynamically pushing our agenda â€" “I know it has to happen this way” â€" we become aware of options we’d not noticed when we were busy pushing.Using her energy receptively is not something Rachelle typically does. Nor does Fred. Now that they understand these options, they are both willing to learn. Rachelle is now having regular massages as a way of increasing her receptivity. She reports she’s having greater insights when she stops and does “nothing.” Fred is meditating daily and just realized that, rather than trying to push himself back into the Fortune 100 world, he could leverage his experience to entice a solar-energy company into hiring him.The Energy Three-StepWhat about you? Which of these three energies do you routinely use? Once you become aware, you can start to use each on purpose rather than out of unconscious habit. Here’s how they’re meant to be used:1. Dynamic: Get into action to achieve your result.2. Magnetic: Vividly imagine what you want and feel yourself drawing it forth.3. Receptive: Open up to receive inner wisdom and outer signals that you’re on the right path (or not).Because it’s nonhabitual, it may feel weird to use your energy in all three ways. You may be worried that you’re not doing it “right,” but give it a try. Push for what you want, pull opportunities toward you, and open yourself to new endeavors.
