Using Your Team To Evaluate Team Performance

Posted on January 3, 2009 - Filed Under Business | Leave a Comment

Businesses today rely on many different types of teams to get the job done. But you have to evaluate team perfomance regularly to see if they are actually getting the job done. Why not use the team itself to help evaluate their own performance?

Teams need to be evaluated and they must be evaluated regularly. For the simple fact that if they are not you may not realize when your team is losing its edge. Truly being able to evaluate performance comes from communicating effectively, solving problems, team conflicts, evaluating team performance, and more. It essence it means really interacting with your team, not just observing. Your evaluation needs to come as a member of the team not just its leader. It is important when evaluating team performance that you are one of its participants not just an outside observer.

The trend for contract sales ? jobs in pharmaceuticals

Posted on December 15, 2008 - Filed Under Careers | Leave a Comment


Nursing, teaching, building and secretarial ? over a decade ago,
these are all industry sectors that I would have associated with

companies, has exploded since then. Annually, more and more medical
sales people are employed on a contract basis. There are a number of
reasons why pharmaceutical companies use contract positions.
