Weekly Updates"Solutions" By Lynne Curry, Ph.D.
She's done it again! For the third time, Alaska's management maven Lynne Curry, Ph.D., and president of the Growth Company Inc., has authored a deskbook of solutions to businesses' most persistent problems.
"Solutions" is a 145-page answer to problems everyone in business is facing, has faced, or will face. Her sensible, reasoned advice ranges from "Co-worker Solutions," "Time and Stress Management Solutions," to "Career Solutions" and "The World in Change Solutions." The volume offers more than 60 "solutions" and is aimed at anyone who draws a paycheck from a business. She solves problems from the receptionist, through the administrative assistant right on up to the top name on the letterhead.
Her 27 years of experience in management consulting and in personnel training have delivered to her problems we'd never want to deal with on our own, without some advice. She's been there-done that-and her advice (Solutions/is timely and obviously comes from experience.
All businesses face the problem of keeping good workers. Curry's "Solution" is found in her chapter, "Keys to Retaining Workers" "...Hire smart. Search for an applicant who wants the job you offer. Find out what employees want. Plan to pay well. Give employees a stake in the business. Help each employee set challenging work goals. Finally, realize that although the average employee changes jobs every two years, you can beat those odds. Hire above-average employees, treat them in a manner that's clearly above average and you'll benefit from long-term employees."
