Succession Planning isn't just about preparing for boardroom changes or grooming your son or daughter to take over when you want to retire. It's much more about how those managing others create seamless changeovers, preparing who you have, for opportunities that might present themselves.And it's about making managing people much more effective, creating spaces for whoever you are, with people management responsibilities, to focus on your job, not theirs. Through empowering them, you generate enthusiasm and engagement. Everyone thrives, especially your business or organisation your business. By cranking up others development to meet your business needs, big or small, not just for right now, but for future, you will find payoffs, big-time. Here are a few ideas to get you started. - Building Relationships
By ensuring that you have informally built good relationships with every one of your team, you will have a head start when developing intelligence needed for effective succession planning. This is not just about business, it is about aligning with whatever is important to each individual and showing an interest in them. - Create a Vision
Clearly understanding what ‘good looks like’ is first stage of planning for future. Taking time out to develop this is well worth effort and provides a marker against which all decisions, people or otherwise are made. If possible, involve as wide a range of people in this activity. - Right People, Right Place, Right Time - Ignore Names
Once you have your vision, deciding who is need, when and where becomes easier. It important that you focus on facts rather than emotion first, so that you ignore individuals in this assessment.

Blogs and RSS Boost Your Online Business, Rankings, Traffic and Sales.Blogs for Advertising? Yes! Blogs and RSS boost your online business, rankings, traffic and sales. We all sometimes ignore trends in advertising on internet until masses are allready doing it. That is why I felt compelled to right this article and hopefully help others to understand that Blogs are a very powerful advertising method and you do not want to ignore this trend, You will regret it! A blog is a frequent, online publication of comments, web links and news. It is an online Enzine of sorts. People maintained blogs long before term was coined, but trend gained momentum with automated published systems, most notably is blogger.com. Thousands of people use services such as Blogger alone. I only realized myself how powerful Blog advertising was, after I submitted an article to one Blog, yes just one Blog. What happened next amazed me! Within one week my new site wich I used in my byline in Blog was not only indexed, but every single page was indexed and I had over 200 other sites pointing links to my site! All from one Blog posting. See websites need content and Blogs are a great source for content, and search engines LOVE blogs! I really need to say that again, search engines love Blogs! Want your site indexed? Want hundreds maybe even thousands of incoming links all pointing to your site? Here are reasons you should not ignore Blog advertising. Remember when all search engines were free, and simply submitting your web sites got you listed quickly? Gone. Then it wa FFA pages, they brought in a ton of free traffic, built links to your site, and added to your mailing list like crazy. Tried one lately? Safelists were an online goldmine for a while... until bottom less email accounts were introduced.
