Web Conferencing Killed The Video Star (c) 2002 copyright Laurence Chilcott and Terry TelfordIn 80’s, a popular song said "Video killed radio star." What comes around goes around. Now it’s video’s turn to be replaced. The new song of millennium is "Web conferencing killed video star." The Worldwide Web Conferencing market generated close to $300 million in revenue in 2001.

For corporations and small businesses, this technology offers immense cost and time savings. Instead of wasting time and money in travel, meetings can be held with participants from all over world, locally, from each conference member’s desktop.

He couldn't even grasp question. Here are some steps you can take to begin this focus: 2. Write your Personal Mission Statement (www.franklincovey.com/mission builder/index.html). Define your values, principles, and what matters to you. Then use this as a touchstone for making decisions and setting priorities and goals. If your organization needs a Mission Statement, write one collaboratively, if possible. Getting everyone behind "mission," "bigger picture," will add to communal work satisfaction. 2. Attach meaning to what you do, what your department does, your organization does, and help others feel mission in it. The person who's answering phone, for instance, isn't "just answering phone," they're representing your company to public and a key player in success of your group mission. If you feel your work isn't meaningful, and can't be, then you have some "recrafting" to do. 4. Get a good organizational system - whatever works for you. These will work if you work them.
