Four Baton Rouge police officers accused of shooting and killing an armed man after a chase that ended in West Baton Rouge Parish will return to work Tuesday, a police spokesman said Monday.
A preliminary internal investigation into the Aug. 5 shooting did not find any wrongdoing on behalf of the officers, Sgt. Don Stone said. However, the investigation is ongoing and Louisiana State Police also is looking into the incident, he said.
Police Chief Dewayne White said the shooting was recorded by at least one video camera on the dashboard of one of the police units.
"After viewing the video of the incident, I find insufficient cause to keep these officers on administrative leave," White said. "I think they handled themselves in a manner that the situation dictated."
Officers Paul Brown, 27; Richard McCloskey, 29; Nicholas Morgan, 31; and Joshua Ellis, 36, were placed on administrative leave shortly after the shooting occurred, Stone said.
The man shot was Darryl Douglas Parault, 48, of Jarreau, State Police spokesman Trooper Russell Graham has said.
The incident between Parault and police started about 11:15 p.m. Aug. 5 when a police officer in a marked police car tried to pull over Parault for a traffic violation on Airline Highway near Florida Boulevard, Stone has said.
Parault refused to stop and led police over the U.S. 190 Mississippi Bridge into West Baton Rouge Parish. Three more officers in police cars joined the chase, Stone has said.
The pursuit, which never reached high speed, continued on U.S. 190 until a mile past the intersection with La. 415. Parault pulled over on the right shoulder, Stone has said.
As Parault got out of his small pickup as ordered, the "officers observed a gun in his hand" and police ordered him to drop the gun. When he refused to comply, the "officers shot him," Stone has said. Parault died at the scene.
West Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff's Office Col. Richie Johnson said his office was contacted about the pursuit and deputies were present when the shooting happened. None of the deputies fired their weapons. Johnson said his office is assisting State Police with its investigation.
State Police Lt. Doug Cain said he could not release any details about the shooting, but added that "every indication is that the officers were well within the scope of the law with their actions."
Cain said when his agency's investigation its complete, it will be forwarded to the East Baton Rouge Parish District Attorney's Office for review.
Parault's family declined comment. David Jarreau, however, described his childhood friend as a socially withdrawn person who liked model trains, model cars and guns.
Jarreau said Parault had never been married, didn't have any children and had worked at the Port Allen McDonald's for the past 12 years.
As to what might have happened the night Parault was killed, Jarreau said he had no idea. "I hadn't talked to him in years," Jarreau said.
Court records show Parault does not have a criminal background in East Baton Rouge, West Baton Rouge or Pointe Coupee parishes.
Only one of the four police officers involved in Parault's shooting has ever been disciplined while on the job, police records show.
Officer Morgan was issued a letter of reprimand in February 2007 for his involvement in a preventable crash that happened two years earlier on Choctaw Drive, the letter says.
The letter did not provide additional details about the incident.

Foundation hosts the search for England's Homeless World Cup team
Homeless people from across the country came to Manchester United Foundation's Cliff Training ground, in Salford, on Wednesday 12th March to take part in the first of a series of invitation-only trials to select England's Homeless World Cup team for 2008.
One hundred players selected at regional trials held across the country visited The Cliff for the first time in the hope of being selected for the England Team. Once selected, the team of eight players will travel to Melbourne, Australia, in November to take part in the international Homeless World Cup tournament.
Manchester United Foundation coaches are on hand to train and select players at the trials which will be held on a monthly basis until the final team is selected.
Richard Brown, England team manager from The Big Issue in the North, which is organising the team, said: "This is the sixth year running that The Big Issue in the North has worked with Manchester United to organise the England team for the Homeless World Cup. It's fantastic that the Foundation continue to show their support for this fantastic project which literally can change people's lives."
Previous England team members have gone on to do coaching courses, play for non-league football teams such as Stafford Rangers, find full time employment and have been re-united with family members.
John Shiels, Chief Executive, Manchester United Foundation said: "We are proud to be associated with such a positive event which is proven to have a lasting impact on the people involved."Players must be aged 16 or over, have a valid passport and be classed as homeless - which may mean living in a hostel, in supported accommodation or staying in insecure accommodation - such as sleeping on a friend's floor.

Gutted Ewok is a Star Wars: The Old Republic Guild.
Gutted Ewok has one aim: To keep the game fun.
It sounds overly simple but it is easy at times to lose sight of the reason we play MMO's. Having a casual and friendly guild helps us remember that it's just a game, whilst still being able to run Ops and Flashpoints at our own pace.
We will definitely be running flashpoints, 8-man operations and possibly 16-mans in the future. We will be raiding late at night (as all of us work night shifts at present). Although, depending on the level of guld membership, and the interest in raiding, we may look at doing earlier runs too.
{C}We will provide a pleasant raiding environment, without the usual screaming, belittling and pressure that some of you may have come to associate with raiding in games like World of Warcraft. {C}Alternatively, if you don't like raiding and just want somewhere friendly to hang out while soloing and/or crafting then you have come to the right place.
As the guild is growing nicely we have set new times and days for raiding.
We plan to be running guild raids at 21:30 GMT on Tuesdays and Wednesdays to start, possibly adding Thursdays if enough people want to
Even though the pre-launch guild program has now come to an end we will still be accepting applications via our website up to, and after, launch.
If you are interested or want more info please head over to our website at http://www.guttedewok.com read our guild charter on our forums and then apply if you think we are the right guild for you. Alternatively, you can take the Ideal Guild Quiz at http://www.tortoolbox.com/quiz/ and see if we come up as a recommended guild for your playstyle.
Even if you decide not to join I appreciate any and all constructive feedback regarding the guild our our website etc.

Girl names
I always knew that my first girl I wanted to use my maiden name, Bailey. I have always loved my last name, I take pride in it. Honestly, if I didn't strongly believe in taking my husband name, I would have tried to convince him to take mine lol. Plus I like the fact that it's a universal name and when she does start looking for jobs her employers aren't going to look at her name and make crazy assumptions. However, we couldn't figure out a middle name, so I took it to Facebook lol. A lot of people gave really awesome suggestions. We took our top three that we liked as possibilities, and then when Bailey was born I knew it had to be Rose. That's how we came up with Bailey Rose. But remember, everyone has unique styles and ideas. So I think every name is a pretty name, I just might not choose that particular name for me is all.

A gay porn star on the cover of a national magazine? Don't get too excited; it's only Cybersocket, but for rising star Riley Price, the print exposure couldn't come at a better time. The 27-year-old Chicago native, who got his start a couple of years back as a Randy Blue model, is currently prepping for the launch of his own Web site. And even though he's gotten his fair share of attention making movies for numerous major studios, including Jet Set Men, Channel 1 Releasing and Raging Stallion, and doing online work for Next Door Male (his current scene with Marcus Mojo is a keeper) and Naked Sword, Price is kicking things up a notch.
"I love conceptualizing and directing new content," he tells the Web-focused monthly magazine. "[The site] has allowed me to take on a variety of different roles. Everything from talent coordinator to director." Price has been creating content for RileyPriceless.com since last summer, and despite a well-documented online skirmish with model Colby Keller over an upcoming film for the site titled Ulterior Motives, he seems to be on his way to big things. And who knows? This Best Newcomer winner at the 2011 Grabby Awards may someday add a Best Director trophy to his list of accomplishments! For updates, follow him on Twitter @RileyPriceless.

Focusing on a Customer Experience Survey
- Sara Gray
- 1 years ago
- Views:
1 Focusing on a Customer Experience Survey By Chip Bell, John Patterson and Lindsay Willis We need to survey our customers! When these words are uttered by a senior leader it can prompt all manner of meeting, mania and macerations. It triggers a group of questions someone in marketing masterminds to send around to various departments for critique. This is where the fun begins. Billing wants to ask detailed questions about stuffers, operations is interested in queries about field work, and customer service wants to know whether front liners were friendly. In time what gets mailed or put on line is a forty pound survey comprised of questions that are confusing, complex, and irrelevant. When only a few get returned, the question ax is brought to the next meeting for some heavy handed cuts required to reduce the weight of the survey. In the spirit of appeasing all interested parties, only a fixed number of questions are allowed. When the trim job yields only a slightly higher return rate, senior leaders conclude that customers are uninterested in using a survey to register their two cents worth. They turn their attention to enterprise planning or the next board meeting, exiting the survey business. One more survey effort fizzles for the wrong reasons. Customer surveying is complex business today. Recall how many surveys you have received in the last year. And, whose life is getting simpler or less cluttered? Any survey (whether on the phone, in the mail or on the web) must be appealing enough to rise above all the distraction. It must attractive enough to get someone to complete it after holding it longer than five seconds and interesting enough to insure a survey starter is a survey completer. Finally, the survey must be reliable enough for the sender to be able to actually use the intelligence the responder has provided. What makes a survey appealing, attractive and relevant to the customer; and what makes the survey results reliable to the organization all starts with asking the right questions in the right way. And, rightness comes not from a brainstorming session in market research or copying a survey bragged about in a book. It starts with the customer! Does this mean it is important to survey customers about surveys? In a sense, yes. All effective surveys are tests. A good survey designer tests questions to determine if they yield the learning s expected. As customers change,
2 yesterday s jackpot question might become tomorrow s ho hum question. Surveys are always an investigation-in-progress. But, where does a survey designer begin? One of the most potent tools is a well-crafted focus group. Focus groups can provide powerful themes about the top-of-mind interests, issues, and concerns of customers. They can inform the moderator of the rich and useful meaning behind customer s evaluations. They can deliver a helpful gauge on emerging concerns before they become the subject of dinner table discussions or even the 6 o clock news. Should focus groups be used for targeted decision-making? Of course not! Focus groups represent a tiny percentage of customers. And, even the best focus group can fall under the influence of the herd mentality. We all know how an outspoken participant can lead others to agree with positions they would never register using the privacy of a survey. Yet, despite its limitations, a focus group under the care and guidance of a skilled focus group facilitator can be a rich forum for insight and understanding. Think of a focus group as the modern day version of a fireside chat a spirited assortment of fact and opinion; rumor and myth. However, out of this forum can emerge a blend that reflects real people talking about real issues in a real way. Properly managed and interpreted, the results can be a valuable way to provide the basis for customer survey research. Focus groups have the added benefit of surfacing customer language that is important to making the survey read like people actually talk--not like researchers think. From Focus Group to Survey Design A focus group is literally a group conversation with a focus. Skilled focus group leaders clarify the interview intent, outline the protocols and facilitate the discussion to yield an open, comfortable forum for beliefs, issues and assessments. When a focus group is done properly, each participant feels their say is as valid as all others. With proper guidance the conversation can feel like attendees are collectively involved in a treasure hunt to unearth choice nuggets of customer intelligence to be later refined. There are many traditions around focus groups held on neutral turf, 6 to 8 people, participants with recent experience in the topic, a facilitator who can evolve from general to specific questions, keep comments non-judgmental and ask probing questions aimed at clarifying information, etc. However, the central issue is what to ask in order to yield fodder for a customer experience survey. There are several themes relevant for this type of research. Primary is the search for loyalty driver candidates. Customers judge organizations based on
3 the value they receive. Think of value as comprised of three buckets price, experience and product (or outcome for non-object making companies). If the perceived product or outcome quality drops, for example, there must be adjustments in one of the other two buckets to make up the difference in order for value to remain stable either the price must drop or the service must get noticeably better. However, assuming the product or outcome is satisfactory and the price fair, the spotlight is on the customer s experience as the bucket most likely to drive them to be more loyal. It is also important to separate loyalty drivers from satisfaction drivers. Satisfaction is defined as sufficient to meet a need. When considering a product or outcome, satisfaction is the goal. Customers do not expect the objects they purchase to do any more than they were intended to do. However, customer experience is judged with a completely different yardstick. A customer experience that is only satisfactory does not yield a memory that would entice a customer to return. Because customer retention is associated with loyalty, not satisfaction, it is important to identify loyalty drivers. Shifting from Satisfaction to Loyalty Getting focus group participants to think (and therefore answer) in the language of loyalty requires setting up the line of questioning differently. Such a discussion might start with a question like, When you think about an organization that consistently delivers a great customer service experience one that wowed you---what organizations come to mind? From here the research questions can better surface loyalty drivers. For example, let us assume Acme Solutions, Inc. was conducting focus groups with customers in an effort to unearth key loyalty drivers about their service experience. Examples of the questions the focus group leader might use include: If (your favorite customer service organization) were to be in charge of Acme s service experience, what is one thing they would likely do? What are the features you would expect of a good customer service experience from Acme Solutions? (List on the board or chart) Now, what would each of these features look like if we put them on steroids? If Acme Solutions wanted to increase their fees/prices by 50% and still have you view the value that you received as a good one, describe the service experience they would have to provide? If Acme offered a 100% money back guarantee if you were not happy with your service experience, what part of your experience with Acme would get you your money back? What would they have to do to never pay you that guarantee?
4 The thrust of these questions is to take focus group participants out of the realm of customer satisfaction and into the domain of customer loyalty. Once the transcripts of the focus group interviews are ready for review, the next step in the process is analysis of themes. Look for similar word pictures that are repeated. Individual customers cannot always report precisely what they prefer, but the themes revealed in the answers of multiple customers often yield nuances and insights that point to preferences and aspirations. Constructing the Survey After selecting the ten to twelve most favored drivers, the next step is to craft questions that give survey respondents an opportunity to register both their evaluation of a particular driver as well as its importance to them. Because the realm is loyalty (not satisfaction), the evaluation descriptors must use subjective language similar to that used by the focus group participants. Customers of a five-star restaurant do not rave to their friends that their dining experience left them completely satisfied! Loyalty comes from emotional evaluations that reflect delight, joy, happiness, glee, etc. The structure of the paired questions might read something like: How would you rate Acme Solutions in terms of the friendliness of the who served you? people 5. Terrific 4. Very good 3. Okay 2. Not so hot 1. Awful How important is friendliness when it comes to the people who serve Acme Solutions? you at 5. Critical 4. Very important 3. Average 2. Not that important 1. Unimportant It can also be helpful to include a couple of overall questions. One popular overall question is: When you recall all the aspects of your service experience with Acme Solutions, what overall grade would you give them? Two popular overall loyalty questions are: Would you recommend Acme Solutions to your friends or colleagues? and Would you likely buy from Acme again? Both the would recommend and would repurchase questions can be cross tabbed against the importance questions to yield an accurate reading on the true drivers of customer loyalty. It also can be very instructive to add a fill-in-theblank question at the end. A popular option is: What is one thing Acme Solutions could do to improve your service experience? A debate in the survey design world is whether an overall evaluation questions should appear at the beginning or end of the survey. Those favoring placing it at the beginning contend that it is a more objective view since it is untainted by
5 later questions that could lead a respondent to place too much weight on one aspect. Those favoring placing it at the end posit that getting an opportunity to review assorted aspects through the survey questions helps a respondent register a more comprehensive assessment of their overall experience. Survey writers also enjoy arguing for a 10-point scale over a 5-point scale. Those favoring a 10-point scale believe it allows more precision and can be easily converted to the 100 point world of school grading. Those favoring 5- point would argue that the survey is already subjective in nature (thus less than precise) and most respondents would be hard pressed to articulate the difference between a 7 and an 8. Some use the ABCDF version of 5-points used in school grading. Finally, while survey purists prefer to craft surveys by starting with their analytical tools, it is always wise to first consider what makes it easiest for the survey respondent to communicate their assessment. Wording of questions is also a fun category for survey research debates. The goal is to find language that all respondents will interpret in much the same way. It is also the intent of questions to serve as tools to extract feedback from the respondent in as pure a form as possible. Questions that favor a particular answer or preference obviously limit this purity. However, purity must be balanced with response rate. Crafting questions that sound like people talk can yield a higher return rate without sacrificing the reliability or validity of the data. The focus group can be a boon to learning how customers talk about their experiences and thus inform the vernacular of the survey questions. All surveys need to be piloted before being launched. It can be embarrassing to send out a gazillion surveys or put a survey on-line only to start getting calls saying question #5 is very confusing or there is no box to check for question 8. Follow-up phone interviews with respondents of the pilot survey can teach the survey designer if instructions are clear, the layout or approach comfortable, or the incentive of value. It is also valuable to get a reading on the overall experience of taking the survey. If respondents think the survey is ugly, boring, challenging, lengthy, confusing, etc. they may be among those starters who are not finishers. Surveys are at best predictive tools. This means they are a semi-scientific means to extract from customers a valid, reliable report of their assessment. Surveys are not reports of truth; they are tales of perceptions and impressions. While the application of survey science can help reduce subjectivity, it is important to remember that the nature of service is emotional. While customers can determine with certainty if their flight was on-time or late, when it comes to judging the manners of the flight attendant or the comfort of their seat, customers are as certain as a fortune teller and as exact as the weathermen.
6 SIDEBAR Research on Survey Research Great preliminary work with a focus group and survey design can still yield disappointing results if the administration of the survey is faulty. Below are a dozen tips, all derived from scholarly articles on survey research. Use them as guidance, not as absolutes. Advance notice of survey increases the return rate. The response rate following telephone pre-contact is significantly higher than following an advance letter. Follow-up letters are not effective in increasing return rates; r ing the survey does result in an increase in surveys returned. Letting respondents know how long an e-survey will take or the number of questions involved will increase response rate. Allowing respondents a way to save a partially completed e-survey to finish it later increases the likelihood of completion and return. Providing ample space for open-ended questions increases survey response rates. Stamped envelopes (on mailed surveys) yield a higher return rate than metered envelopes; commemorative stamps yield no higher return than regular stamps. Promise of a contribution to a charity does not produce a significantly higher return rate. A cash incentive does produce a higher return rate. Personalized cover letters yield a higher return rate than form cover letters. A signature on the cover letter with mailed surveys increases the return rate. If the respondent recognizes the name and thinks positively of the person it significantly increases the return. Pre-coding surveys has little effect on the return rate. Creating a survey that is attractive, easy to complete, and easy to return significantly increases response rate. Chip Bell is a senior partner of The Chip Bell Group headquartered near Dallas.

Greg Biffle, who piloted the No. 99 Roush Racing entry this weekend in Phoenix, passed Jack Sprague on lap 81 and led the remainder of the 159-lap event to gain the second Craftsman Truck Series victory for Ford Racing in 2001. Biffle quickly moved up from his 11th-place starting position and held off the late-race charges of Sprague to win his first Craftsman Truck Series race at Phoenix International Raceway in fives starts as the race ended with a green-white-checkered finish.
Biffle recorded the 16th victory of his NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series career and his second win of the season in four starts. This was Ford's second truck win of the 2001 season, and its 54th since he series' inception in 1995. For Roush Racing, the all-time winningest team in Craftsman Truck Series history, it scored its 28th win in the Truck Series.
GREG BIFFLE -99-Eldon Ford F-150 (Finished 1st)
YOU PICKED UP YOUR FIRST TRUCK WIN AT PHOENIX TODAY. "It was a great run. The Eldon Ford F-150 was really good right from the start. The guys did a great job in the pits and I need to thank Jack Roush and the whole organization for letting me drive these things. The motor ran great today, and Sprague is a tough competitor. It was my first win out here in Phoenix in front of all of these great fans. I love Phoenix and I love coming out here and I hope to make it number two tomorrow in the Busch race."
YOU HELD OFF JACK SPRAGUE ON THE NUMEROUS RESTARTS AT THE END. "We've got a great gear combination for restarts in the truck series. It's always worked well for us, but I'll tell you, Sprague kinda figured it out because he was on me on the last couple of starts. I was still able to get away from him a little bit, just enough. And the 14 was up there putting pressure on him and that's what I needed."
WHAT DID YOU LEARN TODAY FOR TOMORROW'S RACE? "We definitely learned what the track is going to be like and possibility what it's going to do. It helped me qualify fourth in the Busch race. I qualified the truck right before the Busch car and that helped me. I can definitely see where running two series helps a driver with experience each weekend at each track."
RICK CRAWFORD -14-Milwaukee Electric Tool Ford F-150 (Finished 3rd) -
WHAT HAPPENED ON THE PIT STOP THAT PUT YOU BEHIND ON LAP 72? "It was my fault. I drove the Milwaukee Electric Tool Ford over the line. It was tough to see in that sun and the windshield was dirty, but that was my fault. My guys pushed it back and got me back out there. I had a really strong truck today. I owe that to Ray Stonkus and Ernie Elliott. It was an other good run, another top five. I don't know, maybe we couldn't beat Sprague or Biffle. One of them is a champion and the other is running for the championship this year. It's not bad to finish third behind those guys."
YOU CLOSED THE GAP, BUT YOU WEREN'T ABLE TO TAKE SECOND PLACE IN THE CLOSING LAPS. "I was ruining about the same speed and they were probably trying to block as I much as I was. I gave it all I had. I whipped the horse the last 30 laps and that was all Secretariat had today."
DID YOU THINK THAT WITH THE FRESHER TIRES YOU HAD THAT YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO CHALLENGE FOR THE WIN ON THE RESTARTS? "Phoenix is so hard on your tires. You sorta lose the grip because the track is so abrasive. We were closing the gap, but it was a little at a time. We gave it all we had. We needed those cautions because it cooled the tires and we had more trucks to pass than they did. Finishing third behind the previous champion and the future champion, maybe we can we a champion next year."
TERRY COOK -29-Power Stroke Diesel Ford F-150 (Finished 7th) - "We were just out of tires. We burned the tires off the thing. I was hustling the thing as hard as I could with 30 laps to go trying to catch Jack and Greg, and I think ran the tires off of it. Man, what a disappointment. I'm mad at myself. I let three trucks get by on a green-white-checkered deal. We just didn't have enough tires to turn the thing. I was trying to block the inside and one truck went on the outside of me. We had another caution, so now I'm sitting fifth and I figured at least we'll salvage a top five out of it. I went down into Turn 1 on the restart and the 92 passed me on the outside so I went in low, protecting the bottom, and I looked in the mirror and he's going up top, the 41 is. So, I figured I'd slide up the track and block him, but we were just out of tires. We slid up the track and my truck wouldn't cut, so he drove down under me and we ended up seventh. We're definitely disappointed in the run because we thought that we would end up with a top-five finish. We raced good. We kinda struggled in practice and qualifying, but we had a strong race truck and that's something to be proud of. We were kinda conservative at the same time because we have to run the same truck at Fontana."
WHAT HAPPENED WITH YOU AND STACY COMPTON AT THE END? "He got on the outside of me and got a run on me in Turn 4 with about eight laps to go and I didn't know that he was there. My spotter was having a hard time seeing down at that end of the track with where they're positioned. She said something like, 'outside,' but it wasn't really clear and then Stacy and I came together. No harm, no foul. On the restart there he thought he was supposed to line up in front of me and I thought I was in front of him, and NASCAR was playing games back and forth before it got sorted out. It was just a friendly gesture from old truck days."
JON WOOD -50-Eldon Ford F-150 (Finished 14th) - "We started the race way too loose. We lost all of our track position and we just could never get it back. That and some of the guys I was running with weren't giving an inch even when I had the line. I'd lose a spot here and there and I just could never get it back. I was just too loose and then we came in and made it too tight. I couldn't keep it on the bottom, so it was just a day of struggle."
DID YOU LEARN ANYTHING TODAY TO HELP YOU IN THE FUTURE? "I think we learned some things for next year. Now we have to focus our attention to California, and we normally run good on speedways, so we'll see if we can't end the season on a good note." WERE YOU ABLE TO USE BIFFLE FOR HELP THIS WEEKEND? "He helped me out a ton. He came over after the first practice when we were struggling and told me how to drive this place and that was a big benefit. I guess it's just tough being a rookie."
WHAT HAPPENED ON YOUR PIT STOP. "I mentioned before the race started that the only way the Milwaukee Electric Tool Ford would win was to have a perfect day, and the driver made a big mistake on pit road and overshot the pit. I've got an excuse; the sun was in my eyes. We pushed it back and lost eight or nine spots. We were strong. We came back up through the field, though. To finish up third behind last year's champion and three-time NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series champion after next week, that ain't too bad for my race team."
TALK ABOUT THE CHARGE YOU MADE AT THE END. "I charged up to third and they were pretty far distance ahead of me and I wasn't going to wear out my horse. When I saw the caution come out ahead of me, I think the first one came out at 20 to go and then at 10, but I whipped Secretariat all she had and all she could do was third today."

They say the best way is to cut of all contact with her and just move on with your life.
i agree with the above answer. another way is to get another girl to replace her. that is cruel to the new girl though. and might not do the trick. but keeping yourself occupied and not talking to or spending any time with the old girl is best.

Step Boldly!
Step Boldly!
February 24, 2009
Chris Makell
CEO & Founder,
Spark Of Brilliance Consulting
This year over ½ million managers will enter new positions in Fortune 500 companies alone. And certainly with the challenges this economy presents, that number could be larger! This shift may include taking on new leadership roles or starting your own business. In any case, it requires both a personal and professional plan of approach in order to create a stress-less, seamless and productive transition.
As a leader in your life and business, your first act is to "step boldly" into the change that awaits you. This includes developing the "mindset" and approach that keeps you focused and supported during the transition. Let's examine "mindset" which is
most important step in any transition.
"…it is an essential discipline to make the transition mentally." - Michael Watkins, The First 90 Days
So you're ready for that next move? Have you
that you're ready? Do you know what it means to be ready? Let's look at a case where developing the "mindset" is such a critical piece to successfully making that next move.
Tim has finally been given the opportunity to take on a significant leader position. Finally? Well, Tim had been groomed, coached and mentored, over the last few years, to believe that he would soon receive the opportunity, but was delayed over and over. So now the time has come. Tim readies himself by telling his friends and family that he's moving up and starting to take on a new and larger position. His true talent finally recognized!
Within the first 60 days, Tim is still working with his old friends on how to create reports. He is working the projects and spending nights and weekends developing spreadsheets so that he can respond to data requests. He knows he should have his team do it, but it's so much faster his way and it ensures he "knows" the answer.
(Neither the role nor confidence of a leader.)
His family questions his distractions with work and his friends think he's nuts for working so hard. He explains to everyone that this is just what needs to be done in a new job.
(sound familiar?)
He's now experiencing "trouble" with his new manager, who
(according to Tim)
just doesn't understand how hard he works. Tim is disheartened and ready to toss it all. He thinks, "I had to take on this extra work on being a leader? I'm still delivering and enjoying that part what's wrong with them? I'm just as talented as they said and I'm just not being appreciated!"
Tim is about to fully and completely derail from his leadership role and he won't understand why. The first challenge he has to overcome is the "mindset" he's using to lead…or not. He has not chosen to make a "clean break" from his former role and duties. It's understandable. He's comfortable in his tables, calculations and reports. His fear of not having the answer and his lack of trust in his team are keeping him from leading effectively. In order to "step boldly" into his new position, he has to develop himself and his team to deliver those results, now.
Tim and other leaders in transition would do well to create a process or ritual which establishes
who you are
in your new position. This process might include using meditation, visualizing yourself leading not doing, talking with a trusted friend or transition coach, journaling about what skills you're going to use and develop in your new role, talking with new peers and colleagues, only, for the first 30 days so that you begin to build the language and comfort as a leader.
These and other tools and resources contribute to the transition system that will help you to avoid derailing too soon. It is critical for new leaders to develop the mindset that sets you apart and creates the leader's edge. As part of an overall system, you can create a less stressful, more seamless transition with greater business results.

As the rains pour down, Fiji Red Cross is gearing up for a busy monsoon with the support of Australian volunteer Kirra Litchfield.

It's raining again in Suva. Great sheets of warm water unravel down the winding streets, while thunder shifts abruptly from rumbles to roars and lightning bolts strike the wet earth far too close for comfort.
It's a tense time of year for Fiji Red Cross, this season of monsoon and cyclones. Flooding can occur almost anywhere, from the thickly forested interior of Vanua Levu to the tourist hub of Nadi, threatening homes and livelihoods. Fiji experiences around 10-15 cyclones per decade; the most recent, Cyclone Tomas, left entire villages in the northernmost islands under water.
"The cyclones come with flooding, which badly affects the low-lying areas," says Eseroma Ledua, Disaster Management Coordinator for Fiji Red Cross. "When we don't have a cyclone, we expect a flood anyway. We get regular tsunami warnings too."
This year the Red Cross team has ramped up its planning, preparing a new round of disaster risk assessments and increasing its training for volunteers around the country. They are assisted in this process by Australian volunteer Kirra Litchfield.
Kirra is part of Australian Volunteers for International Development, an Australian Government, AusAID initiative. Supported by Australian Red Cross, her role is to work with the Fiji Red Cross team to strengthen disaster management programs.
Fiji Red Cross already has an impressive track record in this area. Giant shipping containers are used to store pre-positioned relief supplies around the country. When disasters strike, they enable easy access to the relief items that people need most. Each container carries 'black packs' filled with essentials such as pots, plates, bedding, toothpaste and sanitary items, all wrapped in black tarpaulins that can be used to construct makeshift shelters or create private areas for washing and sleeping. There are water purification tablets, and Red Cross even has a portable water purification system that can be quickly transported to areas in need.
The Red Cross logistics and disaster teams share the responsibility for ensuring that shipping containers are well stocked and strategically positioned. The disaster management team also has the wider mandate of coordinating local branch staff and volunteers when disaster strikes, as well as helping communities to prepare for disasters.
"Disaster management isn't just about disasters, and that's a key point," explains Kirra. "The program here looks at health issues, poverty, economic risks and many other issues."
In Fiji, disaster management is linked to a wider AusAID and Red Cross strategy that aims to build a buffer between people and poverty, by increasing community and financial resilience to stresses and life changes. Preparation is a tricky topic to discuss, as people tend to focus on the problems they have right now rather than the disaster that may or may not happen.
As Eseroma explains, Fiji Red Cross is looking to the past to help people prepare for the future. "We are encouraging people to use traditional ways of predicting disasters and coping. For example, our great-grandparents would watch the birds. If they moved their nests lower down the trees, it was a sign that a cyclone is coming. In cyclone seasons, our great-grandparents would plant a certain kind of root crop, which they knew would survive the damage. We need to get these kind of coping mechanisms back."
Old ways can be combined with new tools. Kirra and her colleagues Subesh and Emosi are revamping training programs for Red Cross volunteers to help them assess a community's geographic and social vulnerabilities, identify ways to reduce risks, and conduct initial damage assessments after a disaster. This ensures that Fiji Red Cross, through its 15 branches around the country, will have a presence in the most vulnerable communities.
Progress is being made at the national office in Suva as well. "Kirra has assisted us a lot with planning," says Eseroma, to whom Kirra reports. "This year our annual plan was completed ahead of time and showed each activity correlated with the relevant budget lines. This makes it easier for our donors to see how we use the money.
"Another thing she is doing is resource mapping, strengthening our networks with agencies like the National Disaster Management Office to integrate our work with their work."
A combination of Fijian and Australian expertise can lead to a stronger and better-equipped Red Cross society. "We want volunteers from overseas to come and share new ideas that can add more value to the work we do, and to strengthen the capacity that is already here in our organisation."
For her part, Kirra is highly impressed with her new workplace. "Fiji Red Cross has an excellent reputation for its work in disaster management, health and first aid programs. But even so, coming here and seeing everything they do, it just floored me.
"My role's still in the baby stages. I'm starting to understand what needs to be done and what I can do, and slowly becoming part of the team."
And working with Red Cross has fulfilled a long-time career goal. "It's an organisation I can add value to, but also one aligned with my principles and values. I'm proud to work here."
