23 Nov 09 You are An Expert, Own Your Domain Part – II

In the first part of you are an expert, own your domain, I talked about the internal changes you need to bring in yourself to instantly sound and feel like an expert in your domain. In this issue of the mini-series, I will talk about how to upgrade you skills and keep reinventing yourself in order to keep your position as an expert in your chosen niche secure.

An expert is a person who knows most of the relevant detail about his domain (if not all), and you can only hope to know all if the information is presented to you in a platter. Thankfully, it is served that way. All you need to provide the address (e-mail ID) where you want it to be delivered. Keep yourself apprised of recent findings, thoughts, ideas, development, and research, etc., in your niche.

Set Google Alert

Getting news by the hour is too late. We are the generation of “NOW”, and we should get it everything here and now. Be it information about the recent development (by recent I meant development in last 10 or 20 minutes), or the latest breaking news (the news that broke 30 or 60 seconds ago). You can get this by setting an alert for your niche. Setting up Google Alert will keep you on top of the news in your niche. This is what an expert is supposed to do: be on top of all the development in the industry.

Develop your skills

A true expert is a person who keeps on investing resources in continuous learning. Learning should never stop, if you intend to become an expert. Take a certificate course that educates advance students like you in your chosen field. Attend seminars, be a part of industry gatherings, read books, attend webinars, etc. to upgrade your skill.

Always remember, the moment you stop growing you stop being seen as an expert.

13 Oct 09 Daily Time Management Tips – 12

Work becomes less stressful and more productive, if we manage our time properly. In this concluding part of the Daily Time Management Tips series I will talk about some behavioral changes that will make your team more effective. As a leader of your team, it is your job to make sure that your employees are less stressed due to work and they accomplish more in less time.

Get is cleaned

An office with a cluttered drawers and file storages is not an uncommon sight. People tend to stuff their papers in the drawer, as if they are not going to need it ever in their life. But contrary to what they think, they will need it soon. Hence, as a leader it is your duty to motivate your team member to keep their drawers and storage spaces organized.

You can also get your team members to clean-up the office space one a month or quarter. Get rid of all unnecessary papers and old communication of which you have soft copies.

E-mail culture

This may seem bizarre, but even after decades of e-mail invention, there are people who do not like to use it as a primary means of work-related communication. You should encourage e-mail communication among your team members and outside of it. Ask to use e-mail as primary mode of communication. Also tell them to keep the e-mail short, sweet, and simple.

Standardize works

There are certain things in our office that need to be standardized. Provide a standard format for communication like sales letter, order letter, report filing, etc., and ask your team to adhere to the format. This will help your team save time, and as it is, no one hope to read Márquez in the sales letter.
