This Is How An Executive Coach Can Help You

By Bart Icles

There are many benefits that come from being promoted inside an organization. You get a higher salary, more respect, and better job description. Many times, promotion brings you a more relaxed working environment. When you are in a lower level job, you get a lot of feedback on your performance. This leads to better productivity and overall efficiency in the work place.

One of the draw backs of being promoted is you lose the opportunity to get other peoples suggestions on how you can improve. Overall, the higher you climb the ladder in the organization, the less chance you have of getting feedback about your performance. Companies need to find ways to evaluate and help their top executives develop.

In today's modern business world, executives have a very unstructured and uncertain work pattern. Because of this, it can be challenging to have a focused and productive schedule. Many organizations have come to the conclusion that executives at all levels can benefit from coaching discussions with those in a position to observe the results of their actions. It is also good to get feedback from the people that get to see your everyday work patters and overall behavior. It is very important for people to hear how they are performing. If they are doing well, it gives them encouragement to hear about it. If they are doing poor, it is very beneficial to get feedback.

This is the same for people in management positions as well as lower level employees. Many times, people are intimidated to give constructive criticism to executives. Obviously, it needs to be done in a respectful manner, but usually the executive will be appreciative for the comments.

When executives fail at their job, they usually encounter one of the big four problems. These issues have derailed top management all over the globe and will continue to be a problem to all major firms. These problems are: failure to meet business objectives, inability to change or adopt during transition, problems with interpersonal relationships, and failure to build and lead a team.

These four themes cry for personal attention of an experienced business coach. When a company hires a business coach, he has the opportunity to step back and look at things from a different angle. Executive coaching is a new trend in the business world. One-on-one attention can assist in obtaining feedback from direct reports, developing teamwork, and collaboration of skills.

Is it possible to find X Box discounted?

By Persipidus

As the internet continues to grow so do the stores and online malls. When you google the term X-box, millions of websites are found and among them are a variety of options and ways to purchase one.

So how do you find the lowest price online?

It is becoming more difficult to select an Online store based on several factors. What is the one factor that persuades you the most, is it the cost? Or is the shipping cost or customer service that influence your decision?

Let's talk about cost. The actual cost of a product especially in the gaming world is set by a few standards, such as whether or not the store bought there product in bulk for example. Most large stores can offer a lower cost because they have spent less on there side to supply the item. Another factor is what the actual mark-up of the product is. In other words, how much profit does the store want to make. All of these factors in the cost of the X- Box or gaming system you are looking for. Another factor is shipping. Although this is not directly related is does add to the total cost. Even if they offer free shipping generally the cost of the console will be slightly higher so free doesn't always mean free.

Service is another important part of the buying process. Do they have a guarantee or return policy? Are they able to offer customer support if you have a problem? In my opinion this is almost as important as the cost.

The most important question at this point is where can I find an X Box at a discounted price and still have a good experience? My conclusion is this. After surfing the web for a few days, I have found there are several good sites out there that offer competitive prices that are all discounted and some at wholesale. I have found in order to find these sites its takes timeand research.

The best advice I can give is to shop around and try different keywords. If you are looking for X-Box, dont just enter the exact word. Try a more specific search to help narrow the amount of sites.

Once you find the site do your research and find another to compare it to. They are out there; you just have to do some surfing. Once you have another site to compare then you can begin to factor the other parts of the buying process such as service and shipping.

Lastly if you are looking for discount or wholesale gaming systems such as X-Box, look for the sites that may not carry the actual product. Look for the sites that use drop shipping. This allows wholesale and discount prices because these sites have an unlimited supply with relatively low overhead allowing them to pass the savings on to the consumer.

Happy gaming! With a little surfing you will no doubt find the site with the lowest price and one that offers the best overall experience.
