If You Sell Anything, Pay Attention : Uncovering the Art of Selling
-- Dan Coughlin
Whether you want to improve sales as an organization or as an individual
salesperson, the first and most important step is to observe life carefully. Determine what
your desired customers want and need. Then clearly explain why the value you have to
offer is worth the value you are asking in return and demonstrate the values which
your customers want to interact with.

The hidden power of the "Little Fairy Strategy" : How leaders can produce
surrogates for themselves and free up their bandwidth
-- Kai-Alexander Schlevogt
("Prof. Kai")
The `little fairy strategy', which relies on
organ-izationally embedded `H-mannikins', helps
leaders to dramatically improve their impact, enabling them to focus on those areas where they can
add most value. This approach entails creating a well-balanced portfolio of `headship surrogates'
and `management surrogates', which frees up precious leadership bandwidth. Those
include embedded intangibles, the halo of a leader who acts as a powerful role model,
professional individuals, formal organizational devices, technology and smart outsourcing. The `little
fairy strategy' matters particularly in emerging markets, where executive talent oftentimes is scarce.

Dealing with Guilt and Shame After Breaking the Glass Ceiling : The Case of South African Executive Women
-- Kurt April and Boipelo Mooketsi
The modern woman's dream of success inevitably, these days, often include a
powerful/influential, high-paying job with economic success; she is also a loving wife/partner
who takes care of all her partner's needs and takes care of the home; she is the
wonderful nurturing mother who regularly cooks healthy meals and does homework with
the children; she is fit/healthy and exudes positive energy; the list goes on. But sadly,
for many women, this will always remain a dream - hard choices and sacrifices often have
to be made, where success in some aspects of life may mean lesser success, or even
failure, in the other aspects.
