The topic of working with friends and loved ones has been on my mind lately. It seems that everyone has an opinion or an experience to share. Some are not very rosy, but others have uncovered the secret to making it work.

If you are among the many job seekers who are toughing out the tight labor market, you know that traditional methods no longer apply. In fact, a resume blitz or a search of the classified ads may amount to no more than a waste of your time.
What works?

Do you have any plans for the weekend? How about…giving a disadvantaged woman the confidence to thrive in the workplace? This is quicker and easier than it sounds.

2.17.2010 | Workplace Giving Starts With You
—
There are countless ways in which the working world can give towards the greater good, and there is no time like the present. Many companies and organizations have stepped up during the recession and offered what help they have in a variety of places. Indeed, the giving is often about money, but that’s not the full picture.

On the morning we spoke, Christine Harvey had awakened at dawn, met a group of ROTC cadets at 6:00 AM for two hours of physical fitness training, cleaned up, and headed to our meeting, well-prepared graphs and charts in hand. That is because she is Lieutenant Colonel Christine Harvey of the United States Army, and she is on a mission.

Very solid advice Peggy. Toxic bosses are the worst. A manager/boss that is abusive, obviously lacks good leadership traits - (....and most of the time they know it or they fool themselves into thinking management by fear is good leadership because it "gets the job done"). What they all to often forget - the respect factor. I don't know one employee that would go the extra mile for an abusive boss, nor do I know of one employee that would stand up for a abusive boss when push comes to shove. What makes a successful team....... A "boss" is only as good as his support staff.
Unfortunately, this does happen too often. As this site and community grow, we will have a special place for women to turn to when they are in this situation. Having an abusive boss can affect you emotionally and even physically - and I know some women who have lost sleep over it.
Peggy, I look forward to hearing more from you on this issue as we develop this site. Thank You.

I couldn't agree more Lindsey! Starting a business is hard work. Vision is great, but not enough - take it from me! You are so correct on getting mentors, but also an advisory board. Some may think that small businesses don't need advisory boards. OK...let's just call them advisors. Truth is, nobody knows everything. People would be surprised to see how easy it is to get people to lend their expertise - so...give it a try...just ask!!
