Winners Have a Bias for Action

Be 100% Responsible for Your Life When Gabby, my first-born, came home from the hospital, I cradled him in my arms and danced for joy with my wife by my side. I was all smiles, as he came out a normal and healthy baby.

WHY MY VENDOR MANAGEMENT DOESN’T WORK?

Perhaps solely because we rely on suppliers so much, many companies have been stepping up their vendor management strategies in hopes to cement their success in the market and increase profits. That said, too many companies aren't aware of just how key those relationships are. Consider how often dealing with vendors is considered a peripheral of business – something to secure, something we rarely think about unless we need something else.

"To Help Others Develop, Start with Yourself" - Marshall Goldsmith There is only one real way to advance your career, and that's by adding value to the organisation. Sure, you may get small incremental increases in salary, due to length of service, but that's not really advancing your Career.

Call Center Vendor Management Best Practices

You see the big picture. While others get caught up by hype, you identify value.
