Recent Website Changes Geared to Improve Communications

Because communication is the key to successful management of any project, Eagle Soars Consulting recently added two new features to their website.

Our first website improvement is the addition of a live support feature. Site visitors with questions have the ability to click on the live support image to be connected to an Eagle Soars' representative. The icon and feature only show on the site when someone is available to answer questions.

The second feature is the back-end administration of project schedules. Project Managers and clients can log into this private area to view the status of their project(s). They can add project progress schedules and notes as well as initiate discussions and enter time sheet information.

These are just a few of the ways Eagle Soars is combining technology with client communications to bring a personal touch back to business and project management.

Spare Change

Love and truth form a good leader; sound leadership is founded on loving integrity. Proverbs 20:28 (The Message)

It's a little like earning and spending pocket change. Each time I make a good leadership decision, it puts change into my pockets. Each time I make a poor decision, I end up paying a late fee and lose money. All leaders have a certain amount of change in their pockets when they start in new positions.

The half dollars are from an amazing project that I did and the pennies were given to me for keeping something from falling through the cracks. I always come to the next project with change in my pocket from our last job. From then on, I either build up change or I pay it out. It doesn't matter if the mess up was my fault or not. If it happens on my shift, it’s my responsibility. If I make one bad decision, I lose a coin or two. If I keep making bad decisions, I will run out of change and I’m out as a leader.

What usually makes the difference in keeping or losing change? Credibility. A leader's history of successes and failures will make a big difference in this category. Changingminds.org says “Build your credibility before persuading. Understand what builds and destroys it. Protect it like a baby, because once lost it can be impossible to recover. Use it to gain commitment without having to argue your case.
