In business management the business manager has many roles but one of the most challenging is ensuring their team stay motivated. A manager that can keep his team motivated will be rewarded by staff that are happier, loyal and more productive.
The following are 9 ways that you can make your team more motivated:
1) Regularly praise your employees when they have completed a good job. This can either be done in writing however, face to face is more effective. This will make your team feel more valued. There are a number of surveys that reveal that employees consider their boss giving them recognition about their work is more important than getting a raise or financial reward.
2) As a manager you should support your team and be a good leader. Meet with your team together and individually on a regular basis. Listen to their concerns and needs and act on them promptly.
3) It is important that staff feel reassured with the work they are undertaking. Therefore, it is important to provide them with feedback on how well they are progressing with their tasks and assignments.
4) Giving recognition to team members who have performed very well is a very effective motivator. Therefore, it is important that their work is recognised and rewarded. Alternatively staff that are not performing should be given the support and training to help them raise their standard.
5) Set out a clear strategic plan that will include the vision and goals of the organisation. Be specific about how each member of the team fits into and contributes to the plan.
6) Empower your team members by involving them in the decisions that affect them.
7) An environment that enables staff to grow, develop and be challenged results in a more productive and loyal work force. Therefore, monitor your staff and provide them with the necessary training and support to develop their skills. Establish a strong working relationship with your staff and play an active role in helping them achieve their targets.
Make your team members feel valued by asking and encouraging them to come up with ideas and solutions. Develop an environment built on trust, fairness and openness. The atmosphere should not be too formal and constrained. Create an atmosphere that is fun and dynamic.
9) Take your team for regular days out. This can be for team building or to celebrate a team achievement in reaching an important target or milestone.

Overbought and Oversold are the two most powerful concepts in trading the Forex. Understanding that a market that is over bought will fall and that an oversold market has no choice but to rise takes a lot of confusion away from trading. So having simple to use indicators that tell when a market is trading in these extremes becomes vitally important.
Enter The Stochastic
Invented by George Lane the stochastic is based on the relationships of where a market closes in relationship to their highs and lows. George noticed that when a falling market is about to turn its closing prices tend to be near their daily lows. And of course the opposite would be true in a booming market that is about to turn south.
Based on this Mr. Lane built a simple indicator called a stochastic.
The Insides
Obviously the math behind the stochastic indicator is lengthy but lucky for you and I most charting services provide the indicator as a free service with their charts. Peeking inside the stochastic you will noticed that it has two lines that are smoothly rising and dropping and crossing each other in their paths. The two lines are represented by the titles %K and %D. The lines represent this relationship between the closing price and the daily high and low. The reason there are two lines is due to sensitivity – the %K is set up to be more sensitive to the market fluctuations than the %D and it is also a moving average of %K which is why it lags a bit behind.
These lines are plotted on a scale of 1% to 100% and it is in this scale that the trade signals are made.
Trade Signals
A good Forex trading signal is when the stochastic enters the upper 80% region, or the lower 20% region. This is the range where the markets are becoming over bought or over sold respectively. And the official “trigger pull” moment comes when the %K and %D cross each other inside these regions.
The beauty of this signal is that it is simple and it conforms to the principle of overbought and oversold. It is not predictive but rather helps to clear up the crazy price movements of the Forex markets.
Many enthusiastic consumers like to go for the biggest and costliest TV which they can afford. However this sort of approach may backfire as the budget planning is not the sole thing to follow, particularly when one is going for a large screen TV. It is because there is a direct relationship between the optimum screen size and the available viewing distance.
There is a stress on the viewing distance for LCD TVs because one may feel the difference by watching TV sitting too close or too far from it. Sit too close to a TV and one will be able to see the image build-up structure – scanning lines or pixels forming the image, thus distracting your attention and spoiling your home theater experience. Yet, sit too far away, and the impact will be lost.
There are differing opinions on the best way to determine the optimum TV viewing distance for a specific screen size. However there are a few guidelines that one can follow.
The Society of Motion Pictures and Television Engineers (SMPTE) recommends that the screen size for home theater use should occupy a 30 degrees field of view – in the horizontal plan – for the audience. Alternatively, the ideal TV viewing distance should be such that the screen width occupies an angle of 30 degrees from the viewing position.
This 30-degree viewing angle seems to have been accepted by many as the standard in home theater and motion picture viewing.
THX certification: This SMPTE guideline is also in line with the THX certification standards in that the latter recommends that the back row of seats should have at least a 26 degrees viewing angle and while recommending an optimum viewing angle of 36 degrees.
It is believed that within these viewing angle limitations, the viewer will be better immersed into the action movie itself.
There is also the issue of TV viewing distance based on visual acuity. This does not represent the optimum viewing distance – rather, this relates to the maximum viewing distance beyond which some picture detail will be lost.
Technically speaking, visual acuity is a measure of the eye spatial resolving power and indicates the angular size of the smallest detail that a person visual system can resolve.
From a TV viewing distance perspective, visual acuity represents the point beyond which some of the picture detail will no longer be resolved by the viewer vision system, as it will appear to blend with adjacent picture information.
So how do these rules apply in practical terms?
Here is a rule-of-thumb that can help put in practice the guidelines detailed above. This rule for TV viewing distance refers to the screen width rather than the screen diagonal since all is tight up to the subtended viewing angle. Further more, referring to the screen width has a further advantage – namely that these rules-of-thumb apply to both 4:3 and 16:9 display formats.
A primary consideration for the viewing distance – based on SMPTE/THX and visual acuity guidelines – is that the nearest TV viewing distance should be limited to approximately twice the screen width (more precise 1.54 x screen width for a subtended angle of 36 degrees detailed by THX). On the other hand, the furthest distance should being no more than five times the width of your screen.
This should give a fairly good approximation for your TV viewing distance. Note however that it does not necessarily represent the ideal viewing distance in a home theater setup; rather it represents the limits within which your TV viewing distance should theoretically be out of the trouble zone.
In other words, move closer than twice the screen width size, and the picture scanning lines, pixel breakup and any other video artifacts will become too visibly intrusive – leading to distractions that will spoil your movie watching experience. Move further away than 5 times the screen width and your vision system will no longer be able to resolve all the picture detail.
There are a ton of online dating sites out there and if you’re currently in the market and looking for love, then you know that you have alot of options to choose from. Even though online dating offers a possibility for love, there are still other forms of online dating that you can use to find love online. These are forums and chat rooms.
Forums and chat rooms are places people go to publicly discuss their ideas and views about things. If you have a secret admirer in one of these forums or chat rooms, you won’t want to broadly say sweet things to this person. You will want to reserve this kind of talk to private instant messaging.
A lot of forum and chat software offers the ability to do instant messaging, so that’s the good thing about the matter. To get started finding the best forum or chat room for you, start off by going to Google. If you’re into basketball, type in “basketball forum” or “basketball chat room” in the search engine. You will want to do this for each hobby or niche that you are into.
Hopefully you already know someone who is on these forums and chat rooms. This will make it alot easier for you to initiate conversation with them because you-two already have a previous relationship with one another. If you’re talking to this person via the broad forum, you will want to keep your intimate talk to a minimum.
This is also not the time to be getting jealous over what someone says to your crush. This is one of the drawbacks of using forums and chat rooms for online dating. You will find that your crush knows alot of members and one of their messages to your crush may throw you off in the wrong way. So don’t get jealous – women don’t like this plus it’s bad for the relationship.
If you do however get your crush to talk to you via instant messaging, then this is how you will want to proceed with all of your conversations. The benefits of instant messaging are obvious. You get to think about what you want to say, there’s no fear of rejection and you don’t have to approach anybody, and you can come off as very confident to a woman. This is an excellent way to develop a relationship with a woman that you’ve had your eye on for quite some time.
One thing that you should know about instant messaging is that you more than likely won’t be the only person that she’s talking to. It is possible that she may communicate with one or more other guys, so don’t be upset if you find out that she does. This goes back to the whole being jealous thing, so try your best to stay cool when speaking to her.
When doing instant messaging, the same offline rules of attraction still apply. You have to win her over with your humor and charm. You must do this if you want to continue a relationship with her. Don’t make yourself always available to her requests to talk. You have to let her miss you sometimes as this is just healthy for the relationship that you two have.
These alternatives to online dating can lead to a wide possibility when it comes to finding true love on the internet.
Be sure to start using these tips today to start having success with online dating.
If you are doing network marketing online, you would definitely need to find more MLM leads. There are many ways to generate these leads, but you can try using chat rooms to promote your business. There are many chat rooms out there, so where should you promote your MLM business? In a MLM-related chat room of course! Most of these chat rooms are free to use, and signing up is easy as ABC. It does not take up a lot of time and you can be up and running in minutes.
So how do you go about doing it?
1. Finding the right chat room. Do a Google search to find the appropriate chat room. Sign up if there is a need to before you start chatting. If you are promoting MLM, then lookout for these chat rooms. You will surely find people who are interested in your business.
2. Building trust. When you are in the chat room, you have to first build trust inside. Do not spam your offers blindly, thinking that someone will visit your website. This can be really irritating and you will be kicked out of the chat room. What you should do is to understand the basic rules of that chat room, and also get to know the people in there. This might take a few weeks. Only then should you post a few links now and then to your sites.
3. Login regularly. People will start to notice your presence and the nickname that you are associated with. They will realise that you are someone who frequents this chat room and that you might be someone that they can trust. This takes a bit of time, but it is all about building trust and relationship (see above point).
