When to Hire an Accountant for your Business Startup

When to Hire an Accountant for your Business StartupWhen to Hire an Accountant for your Business StartupWhen to Hire an Accountant for your Business Startup S. Rose, author of The Startup Checklist 25 Steps to a Scalable, High-Growth Business (Wiley, 2016)When will you need to hire an accountant for your abflugup geschftliches miteinander?As long as your startup venture is in the prestart stage, during which you or your cofounder may be personally coding the product while working out of your homes, there wont be a lot of money changing hands, and you can put accounting issues on the back burner. But at just about the time that you feel the need to incorporate your business, you should start acting like a real company and take control of your finances.That should becomes a must the second you take in your first investment dollar, hire your first employee, sign your first lease, or sell your first product. While keeping track of the first few sales and expenses of the company sounds li ke something you can do yourself with an inexpensive angeschlossen website, in practice you will find that the details quickly begin to metastasize.Without help, there is no question that you are going to end up in trouble some way, somehow. I have an MBA in finance, but I assure you that I wouldnt consider setting up a startup without consulting with a good accountant.There are several separate financial-related functions that have to be done for your company, whether you want to do them or not. Some you can (in theory) do yourself, some are best handled by a part-time or full-time employee, some can be handled by a drop-in financial consultant, but some just have to be done by a certified public accountant. In sequence, here is what you need to do, and who should do itStep One Your first order of business is to consult with a real accountant to review this list and set up a plan. Most accounting firms are eager for new business and will likely not charge you for this first meeting or at least will charge only a nominal amount.The goal is to have them work with you to set up a chart of accounts that is appropriate for the business you are building, and to have them instruct you on what they will need you to have done when they come back into the picture later. They will advise you on what software to use and may be able to identify people to fill the other roles you need.Step Two With your accounts set up and a plan in hand, you need to start keeping track of all cash flow into and out of the business, including invoices, purchasing, and check writing. You need to set up and manage your bank account and payment processors and regularly reconcile the monthly bank statements to make sure that income and expenses are recorded accurately. All of this is called bookkeeping and is something that starts now and does not stop until the company is no longer in existence.While this isnt rocket science as a high-growth founder you are perfectly capable of entering the data into a simple online program it takes practice. I find that 95 percent of my portfolio company founders bring in someone else to do it.For a pure startup, this can be as simple as engaging a freelancer (perhaps someone recommended by your accountant) to come in once a month, take all the financial receipts from the shoebox into which you have thrown them and enter them correctly in your system, reconciling the bank statements along the way.As the company grows, the monthly visits should become weekly. By the time youve raised your first seed round, you may find that you have enough work to keep a full-time bookkeeper busy on your own payroll.(One caution Beware of relying on a one-person internal accounting department without carefully defined and consistent checks and balances. Giving one person the power to disburse funds and balance the books is an invitation to disaster. Making fraud and embezzlement easy creates temptation that may weaken the integrity of an otherwise hon est and reliable individual.)Step Three With the underlying information accurately captured, you eventually need to make sense of it by having someone transform the raw data into financial statements, as well as maintain your future financial projections. This work is generally beyond the pay grade of your bookkeeper, but also something that is not within your personal skill set, and would be overkill to pay your accountant to do. In larger companies, this would be handled by the chief financial officer (CFO), but at this point youre likely too small to be able to afford a full-time one.Luckily, a new class of drop-in CFOs has arisen experienced financial professionals with CFO-level experience, who handle multiple clients on a time-sharing basis. You will likely engage one of these folks to serve as an adjunct part of your management team until such time as your company has grown large enough to require a fulltime CFO.Among the tasks that this person will undertake are Prepare mont hly, quarterly, and annual financial reports. Work with you to manage your financial projections. Prepare financial documents for potential investors. Offer you and your leadership team financial advice and guidance.Finally, some things simply must be done by your accountants. (Remember them?) behauptung include Preparing your corporate tax returns and dealing with the Internal Revenue Service as needed. Preparing reviews or audits of your financial statements if requested or required by potential investors.Excerpted with permission of the publisher, Wiley, from The Startup Checklist 25 Steps to a Scalable, High-Growth Business by David S.

Author Marc Effron on why its OK to embrace faking it in the office

Author Marc Effron on why it's OK to embrace 'faking it' in the office Author Marc Effron on why it's OK to embrace 'faking it' in the office Did this headline make you think, “Whoa, whoa, whoa, since when is ‘faking it’ ever a good idea at work?”  Hold on, before you brush off this idea, it’s worth recognizing that there’s a lot more to it than meets the eye â€" and it could even be one of the keys to thriving in your own career.Marc Effron, President and Co-Founder of The Talent Strategy Group, explains why the best employees are comfortable embracing “faking it” - over authenticity - in his new book, 8 Steps to High Performance: Focus On What You Can Change (Ignore the Rest), available  on  August 7.Effron gave Ladders a snapshot into the world of the highest performing employees, including the role personalities play into how we fare at work, how to forge better relationships with colleagues, and how sometimes, we obstruct our own success.Effron on what people should take away from the 8 steps necessary for high performanceThe great news in 8 Steps is that anyone can be a high performer if they follow what’s scientifically proven to improve performance. I think most people want to be high performers but there’s so much confusing and poor-quality advice on the topic that most people have no idea where to start.Readers should take from the book both inspiration that the high-performance journey is possible and specific advice about how to make it happen.On how “the Fixed 50%” and “the Flexible 50%” influence usMany of us don’t understand the large impact our Fixed 50 (personality, intelligence, etc.) has on our performance or how to use the Flexible 50 (goals, behaviors, development, etc.) to better control their performance. One common example is when a leader claims that they can’t change their behavior â€" they say “That’s just who I am.” They’re right that our personality sets a baseline for how we behave (the Fixed 50%), each of us still has 100% control over our behaviors (the Flexible 50%).In that situation, the leader can use the Fixed and Flexible 50 together to better understand and change those behaviors. For example, they may discover that they have a personality that makes them naturally introverted. That’s Fixed 50% and they can’t change that. This means that they’ll need to consciously try to connect with others and get comfortable ‘faking’ more extroverted behaviors. Those are Flexible 50% actions and they completely control them. It will take practice for them to become better at those behaviors and they may never feel “natural,” but a high performer recognizes that it’s this type of hard work that differentiates the best.On the importance of “faking it” at workWhile popular management fads say that you should ‘focus on your strengths’ and be an authentic leader, high performers chart a different path. They know that success means that different strengths will be needed as they grow their careers and that the ‘authentic’ them might not always be the most effective ‘them’ to show! You’ ll need to ‘fake’ the behavior that doesn’t come naturally to you.There are two phases in your career where you may need to fake different behaviors to succeed. When you’re emerging as a leader, it’s important to call attention to your work so that people know who you are and where you excel. Once you’re established as a leader, you need to subjugate your ego to these needs of others so that you can get work done through and with them. These two states can’t simultaneously be strengths and neither state might be the authentic you.High performers recognize that it’s far more important to fake the behaviors that drive high performance than to show everyone the ‘authentic’ them.On the biggest thing people get wrong about high performanceThe largest misconception about high performance is that we’re measured against an absolute, not a relative, standard. A high performer is someone who consistently delivers better results and behaviors, on an absolute and relative basis, than 75% of their peers.“Consistently” means that you regularly do those things. “Relative” means that your performance must be better than others’, not just better than the goal. If you exceed your goal and all your peers far exceed the same goal, that’s great. But, you’re still underperforming compared to others.We all like to think we’re high performers because we do a good job at work. That means that ‘doing a good job’ is average performance, not high performance.”On “getting out of your own way”We undermine our effort at high performance when we demonstrate some very typical biases. This isn’t about others getting in the way of our performance, but about us getting in our own way. To get out of our way we need to recognize and avoid those biases. They include: We externalize failure: We’re prone to give ourselves credit for our successes and blame others for our failures. This self-serving bias makes it difficult for us to honestly assess our performance and behaviors. We mistakenly assign intent to others’ actions:  â€œMary did that to make me look bad in the meeting!” is an example of how we assign a purpose to others’ actions, even though Mary likely didn’t think about you at all when she said it. It’s called fundamental attribution error; it can damage relationships and erode the interpersonal trust that supports our performance. We ignore information that can help us perform: Our brain works against us because it seeks out information that reinforces our self-image and ignores information that doesn’t. That’s called confirmation bias; it can give us a very inaccurate view of how we behave and perform and how others perceive us. On being “a transformational leader:”You can be a transformational leader and not being transforming anything! Transformation leadership a way of leading that includes: Connecting: Show genuine concern for employees; they’re able to personally connect with them even if they don’t directly manage them. Innovating: Push their team to create novel solutions and take risks. Inspiring: Offer a compelling vision and encourage employees to perform at higher levels. Modeling: Act consistently with their vision and the goals they’ve set for others. While none of those actions is difficult, doing all of them well is no small challenge. And, doing them well is proven to increase your team’s engagement and performance.On how we can connect better with coworkers and elsewhere in our industriesThe first step is to recognize that connecting better is a proven way to increase your performance at work. That means that you should build strong relationships within and outside your company. Many people are afraid to do this and a recent research article explains why. It said that many “people struggle first and foremost with the idea of networking as futile, threatening or morally questionable.”The science says that it’s incredibly effective, not futile; you can decide for yourself if it’s morally questionable. Start by mapping the relationships you have with your boss, your key peers and high performers in your group. The strength of these relationships, especially with your manager, will influence if you’re considered a high performer. On a 1-5 scale, rate your relationship strength with each and create a plan for improving any relationship you rate at 3 or below. Start by grabbing a coffee with that person and getting to know them better personally.Outside the office, you’ll want to connect with the most influential leaders in your field. When influential leaders know you and like you, they’ll connect you with others in their field. That widening network will come in handy when you need insights, research or connections to help deliver a big project or are looking for your next opportunity.Use trade magazines or blogs to identify those leaders. Write them a note asking them to coffee (if they’re local) or a quick call if they’re not. Let them know that you’re not looking for a job, just for them to share their experience on a key industry question.

2 experiences you need for getting to the next level

2 experiences you need for getting to the next level 2 experiences you need for getting to the next level In the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, 1776, David McCullough tells the story of John Greenwood, a sixteen-year-old boy who in May of 1775 heard news of Lexington and Concord. The American Revolutionary War was underway, and Greenwood resolved to walk the 150 miles by himself to Boston with little more than the clothes on his back.Stopping at wayside taverns, he’d play songs on his fife for soldiers who would ask him where he was going. He responded, “I told them I was going to fight for my country.”Once he got to Cambridge, he learned of the battle raging at Bunker Hill. Immediately, he was seized-upon by a gruesome scene. While walking down the road leading to the fight, wagons passed him by carrying piles of dead bodies and severely wounded men.Greenwood was terrified and wished he hadn’t enlisted. “I could positively feel my hair stand on end,” he said. But then something happened that forever changed him. He saw a lone soldier walking down the road. In his own words:†œâ€¦ a Negro man, wounded in the back of his neck, passed me and, his collar being open and he not having anything on except his shirt and trousers, I saw the wound quite plainly and the blood running down his back. I asked him if it hurt him much, and he did not seem to mind it. He said no that he was only to get a plaster put on it and meant to return. You cannot conceive what encouragement this immediately gave me. I began to feel brave and like a soldier from that moment, and fear never troubled me afterward during the whole war.”Experience #1: Seeing someone else operate without fearGreenwood was changed in an instant. He saw a man seemingly unaffected by what should have been an excruciatingly painful wound.He saw a man who had passed a personal point of no return. A “lone soldier” who was so absorbed by a situation and a cause that he didn’t notice his own pain.Greenwood realized at that moment his extreme self-consciousness, which was holding him back. In seeing some one else operate from a higher mental plane, Greenwood was immediately brought-up to that plane himself.Courage, commitment, and confidence replaced fear. He stopped worrying about himself. He stopped noticing every sensation in his body. Instead, his mind was captured by the moment and importance of what was happening around him. In his own words, he never was troubled by fear again throughout the remainder of the war.If you’re having a hard time being focused, or if you’re plagued by fear to do what you believe you should be doing, then you need exposure to “battle.” You need to see someone who has passed their point of no return. You need to look at someone who no longer cares about temporary discomfort.How do you get such exposure?You have a few options.When it comes to Greenwood, he had to walk 150 miles on foot to get to the place of battle. You may need to walk the equivalent of 150 miles on foot to see what’s going on at the frontlines of whatever “battle” youâ €™re attempting to fight.Who is on the frontlines?Who are the battle heroes in your field or cause?How can you get closer exposure to these people?How can you see them at work?How can you tap into their mindset and mentality?You may need to work or sacrifice for a few months or years to get such exposure. This preparation period will soften the soil of your heart and mind, allowing you to be completely open and receptive when the moment comes.In the book, The Compound Effect, Darren Hardy describes having such an experience. He had invested in a mentorship with Paul J. Meyer, who was the founder of several companies and an innovator in the self-development space. In Hardy’s words:“Whenever I thought I was really doing things, really playing at a high level, I’d get around Paul - he was my reality check. What he did before lunch was mind-boggling to me… After spending a couple of hours with Paul, hearing about all his plans and ventures and activities, my head would spin. Ju st trying to make sense of all he had going on exhausted me. After time with Paul, I’d want to go take a nap! But my association with him raised my game. His walking pace was my running pace. It expanded my ideas about how big I could play and how ambitious I could be. You have to get around people like that!”Once you’ve been adequately exposed to what’s possible, there’s no going back. As Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. has said, “A mind that is stretched by a new experience can never go back to its old dimensions.”You absolutely can create these transformational experiences. But you’ll need to put yourself in the heat of battle proactively. You can’t have such skills on the sidelines. You must make yourself vulnerable, even with doubts and fears streaming through your system.Experience #2: Have someone you love/respect tell it to you straightIt’s nice for the ego to get constant praise and affirmation. However, having people around you who hold you to a continually elevated standard is more powerful for your long-term development.Hal Eyring, a former business professor at Stanford and also a religious leader, tells the story of getting straight A’s one semester while in college. He was taking several challenging physics classes and was excited to share his success with his mother, yet was humbled by her response. “That’s what we expect of you,” she told him. Reflecting on that experience several decades later, Eyring stated, “Sometimes the greatest kindness we could receive would be to have someone expect more from us than we do because they see more clearly our divine heritage.”According to loads of research in psychology, it’s critical to be surrounded by people and leaders who hold you to a high standard and expectation - a concept known as “The Pygmalion Effect.” Unquestionably, we as people rise or fall to the expectations of those around us.Receiving praise and affirmation is indeed essential. But rarely will the affir mation trigger within you a powerful conviction that you can do better. Instead, what you need is someone to hold you to a higher standard than you carry yourself.You need someone who you know loves you enough to tell you that you could do better. That’s one of the reasons I decided to marry my wife. Other girls would tell me how great I was, and that didn’t inspire me. For some reason, I never felt like I could impress my wife. I always felt like I had to earn her approval and respect. That created a challenge that led me to become more than I thought I was.Even still, after nearly six years of being married, Lauren will make comments that light a fire under me. Despite being physically fit, she recently told me I was starting to get a “Dad-Bod.” Although I disagree, I now have even more of a reason to get into the best shape of my life. I want to prove to her that I can be more fit than I was when we were in our early 20’s.Getting critical feedback and being around nay-s ayers is two entirely different things. You need to know that the feedback you’re getting is honest. You need to know that the person who is talking to you cares about your best interest. Their feedback is coming from a positive, not a negative place. You need to know that they want you to be successful and expect more of you than you’re currently expecting of yourself.Recently, I submitted two book proposals to my publisher for the next two books I’m going to write. I was humbled continuously as my agent would send back drafts and tell me, “What are you doing? You’re so much better than this.”While writing Willpower Doesn’t Work, I had hired Ryan Holiday to help me develop the book. With each draft or conversation, he would continually say things similar. “You can do so much better than this.” Even after the book was published, Ryan told me, “You can write a better book than that.” I respect him enough to know he isn’t merely rude, but honest.You need people around you who hold you to a higher standard.You need people to tell you when you’re not performing at the level you could be.You need hard feedback that will cause you to honestly reflect and dig deeper into yourself than you’ve been willing to dig in a long time.You then need to go to a quiet place and ask yourself some hard questions. You probably need to meditate and or pray. You need to redevelop a sense of resolve and commitment to play at a higher level.You then need to do the hard work of pushing past your emotional blocks. You need to rise above your current sense of who you believe you are. You need to exceed even the expectations of those who believe you can do better. You need to show up at a level no one else is willing to go.This is how you get to the next level and the next.You get humbled by people who know you could do better.You then rise to their expectations and exceed them. Because ultimately, you need to hold yourself to higher standards than anyone else i s willing to hold you. But to get to that level, you need to be told straight that you could do much better. You need to be humble and willing to receive that feedback. You then need to prove them wrong and show them that you’re so much more than even they think you can be.I love that my wife recently called me out. I’m more committed than ever to get into the best shape of my life.I love that my agent recently called me out. It led me to produce the best writing I’ve ever done in my life. I’m on the brink of writing two books that will fundamentally change the trajectory of my career. I couldn’t have done that if I had an agent who had low expectations for me and just wanted a quick-win. She reminded me of the vision I have for myself and told me to get up and play a bigger game.ConclusionWho is holding you to a higher standard?How often are you getting honest and real feedback?Who are your mentors?Who are your friends?How regularly are you have these 2 types of triggerin g experiences?Ready to  upgrade?I’ve created a cheat sheet for putting yourself into a PEAK-STATE, immediately.

How to Get a Job as a Consultant

How to Get a Job as a Consultant How to Get a Job as a Consultant Interested in working as a consultant? Heres information on education and experience requirements, where to find job listings, how consulting firms recruit and tips for acing an interview. Requirements for Consultants Virtually all consultants will earn a college degree prior to entering the field. A broad range of degrees will be acceptable, but common majors include engineering, business, mathematics, economics, information technology, and computer science. Many consultants go on for graduate degrees in business or a discipline related to their area of consulting. Consultants need strong analytical and problem-solving skills. In quantitative areas of consulting, solid mathematics and computer skills will be required. Consultants must be able to interface smoothly and productively with clients and team members. Strong writing and verbal communications skills are essential as is the ability to present findings and proposals to groups. See below for a list of skills employers seek in applicants. Consultants tend to travel frequently and work long hours during crunch periods with projects, so evidence of adaptability and a high energy level are valued. Gaining Experience Aspiring consultants should take project-oriented courses where cases are addressed by groups of students. Student leaders who have a successful track record of influencing their peers and finding creative solutions will be viewed favorably by recruiters. For seasoned professionals looking to transfer into the field from areas like engineering, IT, management and human resources, a reputation as an industry leader helps to smooth the transition. Industry awards, leadership positions in professional groups, publications and strong recommendations on platforms like LinkedIn can help you to project this image. How to Find a Job as a Consultant Major consulting firms recruit on many college campuses and hire bachelor level graduates for an analyst or junior consultant positions. Business, engineering, and technology graduate students are also recruited heavily by consulting firms on campuses. Contact the career office at your college early on to prepare for campus recruiting at your school. Google top consulting firms and apply online to as many as possible. Use LinkedIn and your colleges career/alumni offices to identify contacts at your target firms. Approach them for informational interviews and to discuss the best strategies for finding a job. If you are already working, identify consultants serving your firm and approach them for advice on transitioning into the field. Network with fellow professionals who have migrated into consulting. You can usually find members from your professional associations directory who have done so with a background similar to yours. Ask them for referrals to any recruiters who may have helped them find a consulting job. Reach out to Facebook, LinkedIn, family, neighborhood, and alumni contacts regardless of their profession. Ask them to introduce you to anyone whom they may know in the consulting field. Approach those individuals for informational meetings. Establish a consulting practice as a sideline to your main job if possible. Doing so will test and prove your interest. You will be a more appealing candidate if you can bring a client or two along with you to a major firm. Cultivate roles with your current employer where you do some internal consulting, perhaps helping struggling or more junior colleagues. How to Interview Dress the part. Companies will generally look for a very polished image since consultants interface so frequently with clients. If anything,  err on the side of being overdressed when choosing your business attire. Sharpen your PowerPoint and presentation skills since you will likely be required to demonstrate these skills as part of the screening process. Consulting firms often require candidates to conduct case analyses as part of the process. Review the basics of case interviewing and practice analyzing cases.  Group interviews are common, and firms will be evaluating not just your answers but how you interact with others as a group member. They will be looking for potential leaders who can also be team players. Send a Thank You Note After each interview, send a thank you note expressing your appreciation for the interviewers time and your interest in landing the job. Consulting Skills List Required skills will vary based on the job for which youre applying, so also review our list of  skills listed by job  and type of skill.

5 daily habits to increase your creativity and decrease your stress levels

5 daily habits to increase your creativity and decrease your stress levels 5 daily habits to increase your creativity and decrease your stress levels How do the greatest business minds stay creative and practice great habits when the demands of building a business can be so exhausting? Over the course of my career, I have often turned to colleagues and leading business experts and coaches in the world for advice. Here are five of my favorite daily rituals I learned from some of these leaders: These tips and habits are simple enough that you can incorporate them into your routine as well. Breathe differently Even the most extraordinarily busy entrepreneurs can find a few minutes each day to take care of their physical well-being. Leaders who are said to practice breathing techniques and meditation include Oprah Winfrey, Paul McCartney, Sheryl Sandberg, Elon Musk and  more. One tactic I learned this year comes recommended by an expert who works with many of our clients,  Walker Clark. Clark is a sought-after performance coach known as a leader creator for his unique style of coaching. Clark told me about the  Buteyko method  of reduced breathing he uses with his clients. “All of us tend to breathe incorrectly, which can wash too much carbon dioxide from our blood and starve our tissues of oxygen. This can contribute to a host of ailments, including chronic exhaustion, depression and anxiety,” says Clark. The breathing exercise he recommends is simple. With your tongue resting on the roof of your mouth, repeat these steps: Take a small, calm breath in through your nose. Gently allow your breath out. Hold your nose for a slow count of five. Breathe quietly and normally for 10 seconds, then repeat the sequence. Learn story structure One key to success in business is knowing how to tell any story in a powerful way. Good stories can connect us to our customers, increase sales, inspire our teams and even start movements. My friend and author,  Craig Leener,  gives a great tip for learning this priceless skill: He suggests reading Napoleon Hill’s personal development classic,  Think and Grow Rich,  where you can review the book’s organized planning chapter as a guide to understanding an eight-point story arc. Knowing how an eight-point arc works and practicing the method allow you to craft your own powerful story from start to finish. I use this method constantly to help grow my companies and help my clients grow theirs, too. Write morning pages Originated by Julia Cameron from her book,  The Artist’s Way, the concept of morning pages is simple: As soon as you wake up, you need to write three journal pages with any and all thoughts that come into your mind. I first heard about it last year and was reminded of the power of this practice by  Robyn Ward, an advisor and coach for some of the world’s largest tech companies and founders. Robyn recommends all the startups and founders she works with to  partake in the practice of morning pages. She swears that capturing our messy and random stream of consciousness on paper helps to quiet mental chatter and free the mind, which allows us to move more consciously and creatively into our day. Robyn says, “Adding this morning ritual to my day was a game-changer for me and, though my clients are often wary of the concept initially, I have watched countless entrepreneurs benefit from this practice.” Take walking meetings Walking meetings are incredible for the mind, as we can be more effective and creative when we’re moving. My friend, author and investor Amy Jo Martin  says  that walking meetings actually help her brain stay stimulated, and when she can’t get outdoors, she takes meetings via Google Hangouts and Skype calls from her treadmill desk. Yes, a  treadmill desk  is a real thing. Amy says, “Over the past year, I’ve also started setting aside a certain amount of time each week where I hop on my treadmill desk and then ask friends and followers on social media if there’s anything I can do to help them while I’m getting my steps in.” Prioritize your to-do list As entrepreneurs, we’re often faced with an overwhelming mountain of to-do’s every day. And most of us are tempted to jump right into the tasks that we can finish quickly (you know, the easy work that we can check off our list to feel accomplished). But the truth is, those easy tasks are also typically the most trivial. Recently, I heard Sasha Kill, founder of Outlaw Creative, share on a call how she manages creative projects for the world’s top brands and their founders every day. We have worked with Sasha over the years and she uses a trick that many leading CEOs swear by. Sasha says, “If you want to stay on top of your game, it’s important to focus on your most important daily projects first. It only takes a few minutes at the beginning of each day to prioritize and outline your top three projects, then commit to completing those tasks before tackling any other to-do on your list.” The tips above will not only address your personal wellness and mindfulness, but can also help you build a better team, experience less stress and reach your business goals. The trick is that you have to make these tips habits. You can’t just glance at story structure; you have to memorize it. You can’t just try the breathing exercise once; you have to make it a part of your daily routine. Habits also statistically take at least 30 days to stick (though some say only  21 days), so challenge yourself to try one of the above for a minimum of 30 days and see what happens as a result.

Minimize Costs by Reducing Time to Hire

Minimize Costs by Reducing Time to Hire Minimize Costs by Reducing Time to Hire Minimize Costs by Reducing Time to Hire Rossheim, Senior Contributing Writer Its a hallmark of the dysfunctional organization: A requisition is opened for a new line-manager position, but it takes 4 months to make a hire. By which time thousands of dollars have been spent on misguided recruitment efforts, six figures of revenue have been lost, and the HR department and the hiring manager are barely speaking to each other. Make no mistake about it: a prolonged time-to-hire means opportunities lost and resources wasted. How can your company reduce time-to-hire while containing recruitment costs and minimizing the expense of a critical position going vacant? Here are some of the best ideas weve heard. Get Active Consensus on the Job Profile First things first: Get everyone to agree on what the job is. Few companies have taken the time to write the profile and discriminate between whats desired and whats required, says Lee Salz, president of Sales Architects in Minneapolis. Even the nature of the core responsibilities of an open position can become an issue in todays organizational culture. Where you have a given position that reports to two or three managers, if they have differing ideas of what the job entails, its not going to work, says Fiona Brookwell, a consultant with PI Europe in Surrey, England. And time will be wasted. Help Recruiters Source Qualified Candidates If you want to hire in the shortest reasonable interval, dont doom your recruiters initial efforts by expecting them to read your mind. Managers are used to calling internal recruiters and saying, Hey, find me some great people, with no further input, says Salz. You have to give recruiters the tools they need to be successful in filling the position. If you dont, youll waste time screening and interviewing candidates who shouldnt have made the first cut. It is also critical to ensure that advertising budget is spent effectively. Screen Applications in Bulk Its tempting to manage the burden of screening hundreds of resumes and cover letters by dividing it into small batches that can be tackled as minor to-dos in 15-minute increments. But no matter how good a multi-tasker you are, youll be more effective if you schedule an hour or more to wrap your brain around a complex field of applicants and get the job done in just a few days. Make resume screening an intensive, short-duration effort and you may be able to reduce your time-to-hire by weeks. Streamline High-Volume Phone Interviews When you conduct the phone interview, ask the questions in order of importance, says Tina Hamilton, president of HireVision Group in Whitehall, Pa. You can end the call when its apparent that the candidate doesnt qualify. Some calls will last just minutes, and few will last an hour. Time saved is money saved. Get Managers Comfortable with Interviewing For most people, putting interviewees on the spot even for good reason doesnt come naturally. Managers need to be trained in behavioral interviewing, says Roberta Matuson, president of Human Resource Solutions in Northampton, Mass. Often managers will put off interviews because they are uncomfortable conducting them. Great candidates are lost, recruitment dollars are wasted, and time to hire goes up. Consolidate First-Round Interviews Consider introducing group dynamics and economies of scale to your initial interviews. We interview between 6 and 10 candidates for a single position, says Cathy Chin, an HR manager for I Love Rewards in Toronto, Canada. Its a great way to screen prospective employees for fit as you are building your corporate culture, and it lets you see how they interact. Consolidate Individual Interviews Even when youve selected candidates for serious consideration, the interviewing process can stretch out by a month or more if you let it. If you have to interview five people, try to get them to come in on the same day, says Jeff Whittenberg, a recruiter with Kaye Bassman International in Plano, Texas. That can make it a one-day process instead of five weeks. Wouldnt you like to fill that revenue-producing sales job sooner rather than later? Have Candidates Show Their Skills Cut to the chase and find out quickly how your finalists think, how they present themselves, and how enterprising they can be. Two days before the second interview, we give candidates a case study and ask them to prepare a PowerPoint based on it, says Chin. Whats more costly than finding out too late that a new hire cant produce? Wrap Up Recruitment Promptly Buck up: Choosing the candidate to receive an offer is often a difficult and complex decision. But sleeping on it only makes the decision more tortured, as interviewers impressions of the finalists begin to blur. Within a day of concluding interviews, summon the decision-makers to an end-of-day meeting and promise each other not to adjourn until youve agreed on the winner. Dont Hire in Haste Still, there is little value in making bad hires quickly, writes Steve Hunt on ERE.net. Your commitment to an intensive recruitment process is no excuse for cutting corners. Youve still got to do background checks and make sure your offer will stand on sound legal footing. And a final gut check should always address the question: Did we do everything in our power to source the best possible pool of candidates?

Productivity ninja 5 powerful tips for getting more stuff done

Productivity ninja 5 powerful tips for getting more stuff done Productivity ninja 5 powerful tips for getting more stuff done 1) Know when you’re at your bestAnd plan accordingly.  To be a productivity ninja focus less on  time management, and more on managing your energy.Charlie Munger, Vice-Chairman of Berkshire Hathaway, used a system like this to make sure he was always growing.He identified the hours when he was at his best - and then routinely stole one of those peak hours for learning.Via  The Idea Hunter: How to Find the Best Ideas and Make them Happen:Charlie Munger hit upon one strategy when he was a young lawyer. He decided that whenever his legal work was not as intellectually stimulating as he’d like,  â€œI would sell the best hour of the day to myself.” He would take otherwise billable time at the peak of his day and dedicate it to his own thinking and learning. “And only after improving my mind - only after I’d used my best hour improving myself - would I sell my time to my professional clients.”Are you a  morning lark? A night owl?  Tired after lunch? Best after a  nap? Track what works for you and plan around that.2) Get enough sleepNo,  you can’t cheat yourself on sleep.Cutting corners on siesta time has a cascade of negative effects, not the least of which is making you less proactive.Via  The Secret World of Sleep: The Surprising Science of the Mind at Rest:Irrespective of how well you were able to get on with your day after that most recent night without sleep, it is unlikely that you felt especially upbeat and joyous about the world. Your more-negative-than-usual perspective will have resulted from a generalized low mood, which is a normal consequence of being overtired.  More important that just the mood, this mind-set is often accompanied by decreases in willingness to think and act proactively, control impulses, feel positive about yourself, empathize with others, and generally use emotional intelligence.In fact,  some people’s emotions are so disturbed after a night of sleep deprivation that they could be classified as psychopaths.That migh t make you into a good  real  ninja but not a productivity ninja.  Wrong ninja.Via  The Secret World of Sleep: The Surprising Science of the Mind at Rest:All of these things combine to change the way they score on clinical mood disorder scales, often tipping perfectly normal people over the edge into the clinically relevant zone, so that,  if tested on that particular day, they could be classified as depressed or even as psychopaths.What’s the best way to improve your sleep? Learn  how astronauts sleep.3) Distractions will make you stupidStudents whose classroom was situated near a noisy railroad line ended up academically  a full year behind  students with a quiet classroom.When the noise was dampened, the performance difference vanished. (Silence, vanishing - all very good for productivity ninjas.)Via  Scarcity: Why Having Too Little Means So Much:(There was) a school in New Haven that was located next to a noisy railroad line.  To measure the impact of this noise on academic performance, two researchers noted that only one side of the school faced the tracks, so the students in classrooms on that side were particularly exposed to the noise but were otherwise similar to their fellow students. They found a striking difference between the two sides of the school.  Sixth graders on the train side were a full year behind their counterparts on the quieter side. Further evidence came when the city, prompted by this study, installed noise pads. The researchers found this erased the difference: now students on both sides of the building performed at the same level.Distractions might mean you don’t notice gorillas walking by.  Seriously.Here’s how to  improve focus.4) Work somewhere that you usually get things doneHave a spot where you’re usually productive? Go there.  How about a place where you always screw around and waste time? Avoid it.Wendy Wood, a professor at USC explains how your environment activates habits - without your conscious mind even noti cing.Via  Habit: The 95% of Behavior Marketers Ignore:Habits emerge from the gradual learning of associations between an action and outcome, and the contexts that have been associated with them.  Once the habit is formed, various elements from the context can serve as a cue to activate the behavior, independent of intention and absent of a particular goal… Very often, the conscious mind never gets engaged.Context  matters more than you think.5) Believe in what you doSounds like a corny cliche, but the research supports it.What happens when you see your work as a calling, not just a job that pays the bills? You are more thorough, engaged - and happier.(So maybe we should drop the productivity ninja metaphor and be more of a dedicated productivity  samurai? Whatever. Ninja metaphors are lame anyway. You get it. Keep reading.)Via  Choose the Life You Want: The Mindful Way to Happiness:The research of psychologists Amy Wrzesniewski and Jane Dutton shows just how much of our mind-set - what we choose to focus on - affects our experience of work.  Wrzesniewski and Dutton followed a group of hospital cleaners, and found that some of the cleaners experienced their work as a job - as something they did solely for the paycheck - and described it as boring and meaningless.  But another group perceived the same work as a calling - and experienced the hours they spent at work as engaging and meaningful.  This second group of hospital cleaners did things differently from the first group.  They engaged in more interactions with nurses, patients, and visitors, taking it upon themselves to make everyone they came in contact with feel better. Generally, they saw their work in its broader context: They were not merely cleaning the wards and removing the trash, but were contributing to the health of patients and the smooth functioning of the hospital.How do you do this?  It’s about interacting with the people who experience the benefits of your work.Wharton professor   Adam Grant  did research trying to motivate employees at a university call center.When call center workers were shown letters written by grateful students who had received scholarships funded by the workers’ calls, their motivation soared.What pushed their motivation even higher? Speaking with those students.Via  Give and Take: A Revolutionary Approach to Success:When callers interacted with one scholarship recipient in person, they were even more energized. The average caller doubled in calls per hour and minutes on the phone per week. By working harder the callers reached more alumni, resulting in 144 percent more alumni donating each week.
