Helping new Managers Focus their Enthusiasm.

New managers are excited about their jobs and are many times willing to do what it takes to succeed. The problem is that in their mad dash to fulfill the obligations of their positions they end up being counterproductive to the goals of the organization. By helping managers understand their basic responsibilities, and the importance of these responsibilities, they will better able to stay on task and improve their organization value. We all want to feel as though we are accomplished individuals and often push to complete as much work as we can. In this process of getting it all done in a short time frame we end up going down all different paths that don't help us in the long run. We waste time and this impacts how we are viewed as a manager. The first step in any new business is to understand that position before moving onto new and unique tasks that raise our status. If we don't really understand the position or what the expectations are we might be spending time in unre

Tax Inversion Rules and their Impact on the San Diego Economy

President Obama's administration recently proposed tax inversion rules that are designed to limit corporate reincorporation overseas in order to avoid paying American taxes. The debate is whether they will work and could it impact San Diego investments. The short answer is the impact on San Diego will be small but the long-term consequences of not fixing the tax system itself can have a much bigger impact on local investment. I read an article in the Union-Tribune  where different experts gave their opinions. They seem to be split on the topic where some feel it will not have much of an impact and others feel that the consequences will be greater. Some excellent points about loopholes, rates, and accounting games were brought forward. I think it is first beneficial to define what a tax inversion is. Companies that seek to avoid paying high U.S. tax rates make their main operations a subsidiary of new parent company overseas. The majority of the businesses are U.S. based, but

The Impact of Large Corporations and Legislation

According to a report by the Council of Economic Ad-visors issued a report stating that large corporations and heavily legislation are damaging the American economy. The tide has turned away from American entrepreneurs and into the hands of big companies and institutional investors. Revitalizing America's competitive nature may require removing legislation that hinders small business by revamping our political structure. Consider the difficulties the small business owner now faces trying to open up a mom and pop shop . There is a maze of rules and regulations that are making nearly impossible for people to make a living outside of working for another company. Would be entreprenuers are now being funneled into large companies and this is having an impact on innovation. Small companies adapt quickly and large companies find new innovative ideas by buying and using these ideas. In the present market, small businesses are suffering to start and survive; most fail in the first few

Managing to Your Strengths and Weaknesses

Managers sometimes suffer from poor performance due a lack of understanding as it relates to their own personal strengths and weaknesses. They fail to develop awareness of their attributes and how it impact their success.

Manage from your personal strengths and seek to maximize your management skills through those strengths. If you are strong at communication then use that as a cornerstone of your mana

Supporting Teaching as a Tenure Track

Teaching is a method of applying knowledge to create brighter minds while research strikes at generating new knowledge. Research raises the credibility and quality of the university and often receives a heavy focus by administrators. Although beneficial it sometimes skews the efforts of faculty by putting the carrots in the wrong place. Strengthening teaching as a track to tenure is important for advancing important societal topics. Faculty that seek to reach tenure are evaluated on faculty-teaching, research and service. The higher education system encourages research and publishing in its evaluation of tenure and sometimes inadvertently punishes those who seek a teaching track. The focus may need to be realigned around a core mission. Teaching is an important part of success and a major function of higher education. According to Boyer's Model of Scholarship it is beneficial to advance the scholarship of learning. Ensuring new research findings are incorporated into the clas
