Six Sigma is not just for large multinational corporations. While there are difficulties inherent in implementing Six Sigma in a small company rather than a large business they can be overcome.

Thousands of people use google and other search engines everyday to search cheap personal loans. While searching personal loans online has become convenient, cheap personal loans are as remote as they had ever been. Almost every lending organisation extols the virtues of personal loans available through it. Nevertheless, getting to the bottom of the assertions is not an easy task. Till the list of lenders has been short listed to a few, the borrower can at best gain knowledge about the lenders and their financial products through the Internet.

The following "secrets", amassed through my extensive background as both a corporate executive and business consultant, will help female professionals better manage their success path:1. Understand the "circle of success". A common piece of advice given to managers is for them to spend a great deal of time getting to know, and working side-by-side, with their staff to ensure each employee has what (s)he needs to be productive. While that idea is well intentioned, it's does not provide maximum benefit to all involved. Rather, it is more important that female managers spend time helping their boss look good at every opportunity. When (s)he understands that you are able to help her/him succeed, you and your team will get more time,...more
