Just because an employee does things differently doesn't mean he or she won't do the job right or as well. If you establish expectations of the goal and the standards to follow, then methodology shouldn't be an issue.

The employees who share innovative ideas may also be the folks who have some hidden talents that would help incorporate their suggestions.

In a climate of tight budgets, reduced workforces and stiff competition, internal training can be a great substitute for costly offsite workshops and conferences.

People begin to become successful the minute they decide to be.

Look in the mirror every day and say, I am in charge. You might not have control over every phase of your life, but you have more control than you realize, and you are responsible for your own happiness and success.

If you have no destination, you'll never get there.

Failures don't plan to fail; they fail to plan.
