    Dairy Queen Innsbrook

    It's been two months since we bought Dairy Queen Innsbrook (http://www.dairyqueen-innsbrook.com/) . We are learning everyday about managing business and one of the most important aspect is managing employee. Fortunalty we bought existing profitable business and we hired all existing employees which helped us to learn faster. Most of the employees are good but as you know managing kid are most difficult and we havemost of them are kids.. Now it's time to focus on marketing and part of that I have started my website www.dairyqueen-innsbrook.com. Any suggestions arewelcome to improve the site or improving the business and wish us good luck.

    Open letter to CXOs

    Here are the points:
    1. Don't spend millions of dollars to try and change your culture.
    2. Stop running your company like the mafia.
    3. Spend a moment walking around the halls of your company and look at your employees.
    4. Teach people how to get rich like you.
    5. Don't ask for your employees' input if you are not going to listen to it.
    6. Don't train people until you know what problem you are solving.
    7. Ditch the PowerPoint when you have town hall meetings.
    8. Focus on the work people do, not how or when they do it.
    9. Watch the burnout.
    10. Forbid people to work while they are on vacation.

    Ofcourse, all the CXOs are not alike but more or less, you will see more than 50% of what is covered in this article. One thing I don't understand is when new CXO comes; he will bring his buddies and replace existing managers. Why? Why can't he manage without his buddies?

    blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking

    I read this book when I was in Malaysia on my work project last Christmas. It is about snap judgment versus judgment after thinking a lot. It is about gut feeling versus logical thinking. Subconcious mind versus active mind and most of the time, snap judgment/gut feelings are more accurate than days and nights spent on analyzing and taking decisions.

    It is an informative and entertaining book which I would recommend to readers.
