Quality employees are essential to the success of any business. Finding ways to identify those who will be most effective within a company's culture is a difficult task. One of the key goals in the recruiting process is to enhance success and retention by identifying competent individuals who will also fit a company's personality. One way to learn more about potential hires is to administer a test to help identify certain personality traits. The Predictive Index (PI) can help a company with the recruitment, hiring, training, and management of employees by identifying individual learning and work styles. It can also identify existing employees who may work together more efficiently. One accounting firm that has had success using the PI is Clifton Gunderson LLP. Its experience is document...

Top-down management styles seem to prevail throughout the mammoth bureaucracies of federal, state and local governments. Often, though, reversing the flow of leadership can benefit everyone in the chain. Last year, the state Republican Partys website asked state employees (and the public) for suggestions on how to make state agencies more efficient. More than 7,500 responses were received, and now the top of the chain is taking action prompted by the rank- and-file workers. State Sen. Joe Zarelli, R-Ridgefield, is leading the legislative drive to intensify efforts to prevent fraud and abuse in Washingtons public assistance programs. He has introduced bills that would strengthen eligibility screening for the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families grants by monitoring recipients financia...

I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the heading "Demos are spreading lies" (Readers' Forum, June 14). As a lifelong union member and a worker for a union company for more than 40 years, I have seen all types of management styles. If all the managers had told the complete truth when they had the chance, the company would have prospered many times over what it has.

Alcoholic beverage company Lion Nathan experienced growth and success in the early 1990s, when the New Zealand-based company acquired Nathbrew Holdings and two additional breweries in 1993. In 1998, the company administered Human Synergistics's Organizational Culture Inventory -- which measures the behaviors that people believe are required to fit in as a member of the organization and presents them on a circular graph. Not surprisingly, the aggressive-defensive leadership styles of Gordon Cairns, Lion Natan's CEO at the time, and others translated into the behaviors that members believed were expected of them. Cultural change became a necessity, and Cairns recognized that it would have to begin with the company's leaders. As the leadership-led changes picked up steam, talent-management...

Virtual teams are a necessity in global and even regional businesses today when operations and employees with special talents are not willing to relocate to a job or operational site. Traditionally a key employee was relocated to a company site to bring expertise to the team in a face to face environment. These employees were generally experts with technical skills or senior managers who were needed to head up operations in a foreign location. With employees being centralized, traditional leadership styles could therefore be applied relatively comfortably and effectively as the relationship was face-to-face (f-2-f). However, the roles and needs of global operations in the new "green era" are changing these traditional paradigms. One suggestion is to develop a virtual management style th...
