Find what you want on eBay and sell for a profit!

Find what is wanted by people and sell it.

http://kicksfinder.com is the place for you.

Give to victims of the Tsunami.I am doing my bit and Inshallah (Allah willing) I will do more than just popularize the links through www.stumbleupon.com

All readers please stop the mindless destruction of the environment and chopping of trees-there will be a price to pay and not us - our children and near and dear ones will pay it!

Is this the kind of world we want to live in?

Keep checking out my stumble upon profile-all of you will really appreciate the same and know I keep finding really good stuff and keep writing nonsense also-do ignore the comments I make and do whatever possible!

retain top employees

Top employee - defined

An employee who understands a company's culture,a company founder's nature,the law of the land,works from within the system,using the least resources,disseminates the key learnings to all other colleagues (when required),gets things done,always is inquisitive about how things are done presently and how things can be done better, stays on top of trends,knows how to use technology and understands the implications of the technologies,assumes responsibility for each and every action of the company,team and self,is ethical and fair to competitors,to the world in general,knows how to find and use information and give results to a company in time!.

How does a company retain such people ?
Do these people exist ?
How does an entrepreneur find such people ?
How should such people be treated ?

These type of people do exist and are the backbone of every small or large enterprise.
They are retained by using a variety of methods:
(i) paying them a little less than they are actually worth
(ii) giving them additional responsibilities and making sure their jobs are well defined giving them freedom in their jobs and free time to pursue new experiences
(iii) keeping your eyes and ears open and networking with as many people as possible is the only way to find such employees-sources I use to find such people are:
newsgroups,
alumnii associations
blogs,
social networks,
google groups,yahoogroups,etc.
challenge-response invites on places like /.,mirror.,\.,wikipedia and its variants,ddj,
reputed institutions of higher learnings like IIT's,IVY-league universities,
organizations like SPE,SPI,RSC,CUR,COS,
Companies in VC firm portfolios,angel investor portfolios,
friends and family and advertising in select sources and any other ideas that strike me
(iv) How you expect to be treated in society and by these people in return is how you treat such rough gems-polish is what they have come to you for ! . Recognition and appreciation is important.Quality always gets noticed by people if not in your company or organization definitely outside-is the risk of not doing worth it?If companies and organizations are able to manage the above it will really make the world a better place!

Think and decide for yourselves!
