How to Build Strategic International Relationships

by John Astor

Just learning how to shake hands in career world doesn’t make you culturally aware. A few learned copy-cat mannerisms and a couple opening lines will not put the global executive into the good graces of their regional leaders. It used to be fine, considering the small amount of time that leaders spent abroad. But more and more, as we see top-level local management strategies that have transparent relationships with each other for alignment and success, building relationships that are strong and solid are absolutely essential in today’s highly competitive marketplace.

In Japan, during the 1980’s boom years, foreigners were falling over each other to grab some of the success that Japanese businesses had created. Many managers learned a little bit of the language, how to eat soup, etc., but they missed a great opportunity to build real bonds. Unfortunately, those bonds could have also helped the Japanese businesses during the ‘90’s.

Today, we are in the midst of a series of dynamics such as, rising new economies, immediate access to customers and speed decision making, so creating and nurturing long lasting connections is a must. Maya Hu-Chan of the Global Leadership Development Center so correctly states, ‘In my work with multinational corporations, my global clients have often pointed out that building partnerships is one of the most important competencies for global leaders of the future’.

To develop powerful partnerships and prevent problematic situations, integrate these five pieces of advice.

  • Have a real interest in other cultures and learn about them through food, the arts and music, literature and the areas that give uniqueness to their place the human experience.
  • Build partnerships wherever you go with ease. You never force a friendship. You develop it. Become an open access point of assistance to your host reports, superiors and especially those horizontally. Encourage others to do the same.
  • Listen, Listen, Listen! This may be one of the great challenges for human beings, but it is an essential skill for trust. Don’t just listen with your ears, but apprehend the individual with all of your faculties. Go beyond their special behaviors and reach for what they are trying to communicate.
  • Never be patronizing. This may be very difficult for some cultures that have been taught they are the best. Be careful not to appear paternal or on a higher level than other people. Also pay close attention to how you phrase comments about their culture. This is also true for spouses of expatriates.
  • Get out of your shell. The higher you go up in an organization, the more insulated you become. Mingle with different people with different interests and you will be well prepared to meet the exciting challenges of interacting with all types of personalities from all over the world.

By putting these five points into action will give you a basis for working in all environments and with all cultures. Of course, each culture has unique aspects that give them their own perspectives on business and life, and we are all unique individuals with unique behaviors, but having a real sense of how we can make deeper connections profoundly helps us move forward together.

Cerita Inspirasional / Motivasi

Seorang ibu muda yang gemar berdoa. Waktu doa selalu sangat dinantikannya karena baginya berdoa itu menyukakan. Ia mencintai Tuhan dengan segenap hatinya. ke mana pun ia pergi buku doa selalu dibawanya. Bila waktu berdoa tiba pastilah ia segera bersembahyang.


Pada suatu hari ia sedang bekerja di ladangnya. Ketika waktu doa petang tiba barulah ia sadar bahwa buku doanya ketinggalan. Ia pun merasa panik. Tetapi setelah berfikir sejenak, ia mendapat gagasan cerdas dan mulai berdoa, "ya Tuhan Maha Pengasih, ampunilah hamba-mu ini karena lupa membawa buku doa, padahal tanpa buku itu hamba-mu tidak bisa berdoa dengan baik. Namun hamba-mu akan mengucapkan huruf A sampai dengan Z secara perlahan. Dan engkau yang mahatahu ya Tunah, kiranya dapat menyusun sendiri huruf - huruf tersebut menjadi untayan doa petang ini."


Lalu ia pun megeja pelan-pelan, "A-B-C-D-E...Z". Dan sesudah mengucapkan terimakasih ia pun mengakhirinya dengan amin. Di Surga, Tuhan sangat gembira. "Wahai para malaikat...", seru-nya memanggil hamba-hamba surgawi itu, "Lihat, inilah doa terindah yang penuh cinta dan diungkapan dengan kreatif." Hamba-hamba Tuhan itu pun turut senang dengan doa cerdas itu.

==============================================

Cerita diatas menyindir orang-orang yang suka berdoa dengan cepat, sekedar ritual, tanpa penghayatan.

Trik Bekerja Menjadi Seorang Penyiar Radio & Televisi

Seiring dengan maraknya perkembangan dunia penyiaran baik radio maupun televisi di Indonesia saat ini, tidak bisa dipungkiri lagi bahwa dari industri inilah terbukanya kesempatan bagi mereka untuk bisa ikut berkecimpung dalam dunia penyiaran atau yang lebih sering disebut sebagai broadcasting. Hampir disetiap daerah atau provinsi sudah memiliki beberapa stasiun radio dan Televisi lokal, oleh karena itulah peluang untuk kerja dalam bidang broadcasting khususnya menjadi seorang penyiar menjadi lebih besar.

Kebanyakan beranggapan bahwa akan sulit untuk bisa menjadi seorang penyiar radio maupun televisi. Akan tetapi, asalkan ada kemauan dan keyakinan, maka tidak ada hal yang tidak mungkin. Ada beberapa hal penting yang perlu Anda ketahui jika Anda berencana untuk bekerja sebagai penyiar radio maupun televisi. Berikut tips yang akan membantu Anda:

1. Percaya diri (PD). Percaya diri adalah kunci utama untuk menjadi seorang penyiar. Harus mempunyai keyakinan dan tekad yang tinggi ketika Anda memtuskan untuk menjadi seorang penyiar. karena Anda sudah pasti akan gagal jikalau dari awal saja sudah merasa ragu-ragu, minder, tengsin, dan sebagainya. Percaya diri saja bahwa Anda pasti bisa untuk berbicara dalam studio siaran. Memang sudah pasti akan ada rasa deg-degan ataupun gejala grogi lainnya, tapi bulatkanlah tekad dan yakinkan Anda bahwa Anda pasti bisa melakukannya.

2. Pengetahuan yang luas. Anda salah besar jika beranggapan dengan memiliki suara yang enak didengar dan memiliki fisik yang hampir sempurna (tinggi, putih, cantik/ganteng, dll) merupakan hal yang sangat penting dan diperhatikan oleh pemirsa. Berdasarkan prinsip dasar broadcasting yaitu menyampaikan pesan, berita maupun info ringan, maka sudah dipastikan bahwa seorang penyiar harus memiliki pengetahuan yang luas dalam hal apa pun. Apalah artinya jika seorang penyiar memiliki kesempurnaan pada vokal dan fisik tetapi dangkal pengetahuannya? Oleh karena itu, Anda harus banyak membaca koran, nonton berita di televisi, dan rajin-rajinlah searching info apa pun yang menarik di Internet untuk dijadikan materi siaran Anda.

3. Memiliki pergaulan yang luas. Perbanyaklah teman dalam kehidupan Anda, karena akan ada banyak info yang akan Anda dapatkan. Anda tidak akan bisa sukses menjadi seorang penyiar apabila lingkup pergaulan Anda hanya seputar rumah ataupun kampus Anda saja. Pergunakanlah media pergaulan online yang sekarang sudah semakin banyak dan ramai dipergunakan oleh kebanyakan orang. Atau bisa juga Anda mendatagi tempat-tempat nongkrong yang sedang diminati oleh kebanyakan orang.

4. Mengenali lebih dalam radio ataupun televisi yang menjadi target Anda. Hal ini menjadi penting, karena apabila Anda tidak mempunyai pengetahuan apa-apa tentang radio ataupun televisi dimana Anda akan menjadi penyiarnya, maka sama saja Anda akan membuat malu radio ataupun televisi tersebut. Diibaratkan penyiar adalah mascot dari radio atau televisi, oleh karena itu jangan permalukan diri Anda ketika ada orang yang bertanya tentang radio atau televisi tempat Anda bekerja. Pelajarilah segala sesuatu yang berhubungan dengan radio dan televisi tersebut.

5. Memahami secara mendalam segmen acara radio ataupun televisi. Dengan Anda memahami secara mendalam segmen acara dari radio ataupun televisi dimana Anda akan menjadi penyiarnya, maka Anda berarti sudah mengerti tentang audience/listener: kriteria usia, gender/jenis kelamin, pekerjaan dari audience/listener, program acara apa yang diminati dan yang mereka butuhkan, dan sebagainya. Dengan memahami semuanya maka Anda akan menjadi penyiar yang handal.

6. Mampu bekerjasama yang baik dalam tim. Kualitas dari program acara yang akan Anda bawakan akan ditentukan oleh solidnya Anda dengan tim Anda. Oleh karena itu, Anda harus bisa bekerja sama dengan tim Anda. Anda bisa menganggap tim Anda sebagai keluarga. Karena bagaimana pun juga Anda akan saling berhubungan dan berinteraksi lebih banyak dengan tim (maksudnya Anda akan membutuhkan bantuan scriptwriter, teknisi, produser, dll).

7. Be Yourself. Don’t try and be someone you are not. Be yourself atau originalitas merupakan point yang banyak dicari dan dibutuhkan dalam industri radio atau televisi khususnya untuk menjadi seorang penyiar. Jadilah diri sendiri, jangan meniru gaya penyiar yang sudah ada. Temukanlah gaya Anda sendiri, karena semakin Anda berbeda maka Anda semakin mempunyai nilai lebih. Keaslian gaya Anda bisa dilihat dari gaya bicara, penyampaian pesan/adlibs iklan, gaya Anda duduk, penampilan Anda, dan lain-lainnya. Jika memungkinkan, jadikan originalitas diri Anda sebagai trendsetter bagi audience/listener.

Organize its work to combat stress

In small doses, stress pushes us to excel. Work overload can cause stress, however, harmful to health. Here are some tips to make your life easier.

1. Do the most difficult tasks first. If you put off until later, a difficult task or unpleasant it will bother you, even if it is just a phone call. By cons, once the task, your mind will be released.

2. Bring order to your tasks and folders. “When we’re busy, we forget. Therefore write all your task in a diary, clearly indicating the priorities of the day, “says Charbonneau. It is also important to classify documents. “Some people lose only five hours a week looking for records.” To avoid this situation, make a big household every two weeks, or a smaller every day.

3. Do not be too perfectionist. As your boss impose tight deadlines, it is rarely possible to refine your work until absolute perfection. We need to know to allocate a realistic time for each task.

4. Respect your limits. If the boss assigns you a task while you’re already overwhelmed, show him your schedule. Let him decide whether this new request is more urgent than your other responsibilities.

5. Give yourself small pleasures. When your concentration decreases after an hour of work, you often take short breaks. You can just look outside, to breathe fresh air or eat a piece of chocolate! Also apply this principle to your holiday. “Instead of taking a month each summer, divide your weeks of vacation during the year,” says Charbonneau. So you’ll have a short-term goal, which helps to manage stress and maintain their enthusiasm for work.

Do You Have the Courage of an Entrepreneur?

By: Sue Painter


Years ago, I heard the statement "the fastest way to personal growth is to open your own business." Thirteen years after opening my first business, I can promise that statement is true. Like many people who are self-employed, I came out of the corporate world, where I was used to having support staff, creative people around me to bounce ideas off of, and the big bosses over me to handle the heat. I also had janitorial staff to clean the office and technical support staff to handle an errant computer.


When I left all that to open my own business, I soon discovered that my support staff, creative people, big bosses, janitorial staff and technical staff was the person I saw when I stared into my mirror. My business was brand new and very small, one room in an office building. I had to handle everything, whether I was "trained" to handle it or not. I had to discover what I did well, what I enjoyed the most, what I hated to do, when I could afford to hire help, and what help I needed to hire first. I had to stretch and grow quickly.


Fortunately, because I had solid experience in growing a business, the Touch Therapy Center built itself quickly. Within the year, I could hire help for cleaning and laundry service. Next came a bookkeeper. Now, 13 years later, I manage the business while other staff do most of the therapeutic massage, I'm in a medical office building with multiple treatment rooms, and I have a practice manager to handle the front desk, errands, and most administrative tasks.


What I want to point out is the rocky path of personal growth it takes to get from year one to year thirteen, turning a profit the whole way. Here are some of the things I had to learn or consider.



  • Watch my operating costs and bottom line - I had to remain profitable even if I was spending more money on getting help with cleaning, laundry service, and so forth. Watching my weekly financial statements was critical, or I could have worked myself crazy and not made a dime.


  • Know myself well enough to figure out what I liked to do and was good at versus what I am not so good at and am not fond of doing. One of these in the massage business is laundry. I didn't enjoy dragging home loads of sheets and spending my evenings sorting, washing, drying, and folding them. And I wasn't particularly great at it, either. On the other hand, I'm very practiced and skillful at attracting clients. I didn't need or want to pay anyone to handle marketing for me, other than getting help with a design for my business card. It was easy for me and saved me money to develop my own brochures and press releases.


  • I had to find out about my willingness to take risk and how to handle the good and bad that came from that risk. Should I move into larger office space and increase my rent? If so, how much more business would I need to generate to remain at my same level of profit? Could I get larger space, spend more money, and at the same time make even more money? Could I negotiate new lease terms that were favorable to me?


Before long, I had a very busy practice and was ready to hire other staff. Now, I could draw on my past experience as an Executive Director and use my past hiring skills. This time, if I made a bad decision, it was mind and mine alone to deal with, for better or for worse. After about 8 years, I had to make a decision about opening my second business, The Confident Marketer. Other entrepreneurs had been asking me for several years how I'd built my business, how I knew what to do when, and how I got profitable. I found that I absolutely loved helping other self-employed people be successful. So, about 5 years ago, The Confident Marketer was born. And with it, a whole new level of personal growth and challenge was necessary. It's one reason I keep myself always working with top coaches who can help me face up to the personal growth and new business skills I need to keep my business successful and innovative.


The point to my story is that it takes courage to be an entrepreneur. You have to be willing to find out what you don't know, get help with those things you don't do well, and become expert at a few things that are yours and yours alone. You have to be willing to step up to intimately knowing and watching your financial statements (something I find many new entrepreneurs don't want to do). You have to make decisions using both the facts and figures AND your gut feelings -- your intuitive skills. And when there is a problem, you have to be willing to meet it and work it through, taking time to consider whether and how much it affects your customer service and your bottom line. All this takes a great deal of courage and a willingness to grow both personally and professionally.


A great business takes three things - a solid business plan, a creative and well-thought-out marketing plan, and a willingness to engage in personal growth. Behind those three vital things is courage. Step right up, and see how quickly your business becomes unstoppable!

? dissatisfied customers from poor customer service
? higher product defect rates
? lack of specialize in business objectives
? stifled innovation

How several of these prices can you recognize in your business? You can flip the situation around. Staff can place in that further “discretionary effort” after they are kept informed brazenly and honestly on aspects of their job and the business and that they feel that they’re being listened to with empathy.

Employee Communication Needs
What and how ought to you communicate together with your employees? Communication in your organization should satisfy the three key employee needs before they will be engaged and highly productive. Every and each employee needs to:

1. Apprehend that …
-included here are facts regarding your organization and their specific job – what business you are in, who your customers are, specific details regarding your product or service, where forms are located, who to determine when there is a downside …

2. Master that …

Managers predominantly think about the primary need – grasp that – and pay less attention to the second would like to master skills.

And however it’s in this dimension that employee communications are most lacking.

Resolving Workplace Conflict: 4 Ways to a Win-Win Solution (Part 1)

By: adam howard


The effects of conflict in the workplace are widespread and costly. Its prevalence, as indicated by 3 serious studies, shows that twenty four-sixty% of management time and energy is spent coping with anger. This results in decreased productivity, increased stress among staff, hampered performance, high turnover rate, absenteeism and at its worst, violence and death.

Conflict in the workplace is the result of a selection of factors. Perhaps the most significant cause is when someone feels taken advantage of.
