Comment on: Blog Post 'For the common good? Seriously?!?': self-interest. If clients don't like vendor products, they don't have to buy them. At some point, shouldn't clients have the responsibility to understand what they're buying? If it's schlock, wouldn't they be able to tell? And if they can't, won't firms that do understand what's new and improved have an advantage and grow at the expense of the uninformed? In terms of selling, I found in social media marketing that clients weren't interested in buying social media marketing, but they were interested in purchasing my marketing services including social media. They might balk at large amounts for internal training, but they'd pay a fee to hire someone. It was just what they felt comfortable doing. Learning to sell what people will buy is an important tool in any vendor's kit. And if another vendor got there before me and failed, that's actually good news, as it proves the client has seen the value before and was willing to pay for it. Yes, there's a lot of bad product out there, but some notion of the common good is a poor way to approach innovation. The common good would have us all out of work, as it clearly benefits hiring companies and jobseekers to have seamless, perfect transitions at full employment without having to pay for it. We as vendors guess at what will improve client's hiring situation, but it's just a guess. Our job is not to improve the industry, but instead to improve the competitive advantage for clients who use our wares. Your last line, though - is right on target. But it should be clients asking that question of their vendors, regardless of whether or not the rest of us bother to.…; Added by Jim Durbin at 1:31pm on February 9, 2009

Topic: A Whole Start-Up Company going under...: saw the writing on the wall 18 months ago and it was with a heavy heart that I began my own job search. The economy, poor managerial decisions, mismanagement of money, lack of transparency and deceit have led to the downfall of, yet another promising company. I have resumes of some very qualified chemical engineers, mechanical engineers, process engineers, marketing and sales professionals, senior vp's, an IT professional and research professionals... Featured in this discussion: A Process Engineer with 2 1/2 years experience in a technology start-up, working in a laboratory environment, bachelor's in chemical engineering and willing to relocate... Let me know if you want a resume or just a conversation with any listed above to see if there is a potential fit... I am not interested in a fee..., just help with placing these great people.…; Added by Rayanne at 7:38pm on February 4, 2009

Topic: Control vs. Kaos, who is the Smartest?: u let your guard down, a bit of control is lost, motivation drops below sea level, organization slips a bit, and a plan becomes dusty and forgotten. Do not think for one minute that the job is complete. Evaluation of the plan under way results in controlling the plan and the organization of it. All angles must be viewed. Feedback from those involved is crucial for the validity of the direction pursued. Charted progress and weighed achievement is necessity when review is in full swing. Structured meetings of the many minds such as cross-functional teams, executive leadership, and departmental kumbayas become the display case for project and/or product analysis. These essential gatherings chart time and development, as well as reveal shortfalls in predetermined timelines, budgets, or sightedness. Controlling the spin of any project controls the potential for failure or missed marks. This function allows for resolution and change that is compulsory. How is it that nearly 98% of all technology start-ups fail? Poor Management! Think about it, poor management results in failed businesses, lost capital, time vanished, and considerable heartache. 80% of all start-ups fail by year five. That is a considerable amount of time invested in a project, business, or department. How is this possible? The answer is still poor management. Let's talk a bit about poor management. CEOs, Directors, or Managers are responsible for managing the resources, namely people and money. If a Manager fails to properly manage an employee, he fails the system. If a CEO/President fails to manage the capital, he fails the system. If an employee fails to meet a deadline or falls into bad habits (like overspending), the system fails, not just the employee. The parts are all interrelated. It is a system. Mismanagement of money, mismanagement of people = system failure. Control. This follows the plan, is preceded by the organization, and is in line behind directing/motivating. Crisis prevention and issue aversion are part of the ongoing process of management. It doesn't have an end date. Marketing projects, recruitments and sourcing, or staffing assignments may have deadlines or necessary completion dates but the "business" does not. You are only as good as your last search. When you hit a stumbling block, recall these basic functions. Did you plan well, enough? Did you carry out the plan? Was there impetus to drive completion? Were the steps monitored and controlled? This is your challenge.
