... Brief History The civil rights laws of the United States started with the Bill of Rights, the constitutional amendments outlawing slavery after the Civil War, and the Civil Rights Acts of 1866 and 1871 (1 ) . It is only in the 1960s, however, that they began having a wide impact on business. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 extended protection against job discrimination because of race, religion, or national origin (2 ) . Opponents of the legislation added sex in an attempt to kill the bill, but the bill passed with sex discrimination in it, and sex discrimination is probably the area in which the legislation has had its greatest impact. Age discrimination against people 40 and over was added in 1967 (3 ) . Protection for the handicapped began with provisions affecting ... starting teachers. O'Connor v.

... Mike was on fire with enthusiasm, success, promise, and life. "I owe you a steak," he said. "Our conversation about the possibilities for insurance agencies in the future made me shake off the funk that I've been in for awhile and realize how good this business is and the possibilities that can be mine." He continued to ramble or, maybe more correctly, race through his past quarter's production, new accounts written, and commission earned. His numbers would qualify him in the 90th percentile of any "best practices" guide for producers. Success wasn't new to Mike, and Mike wasn't new to success. However, he, like so many other agency owners and producers, had become "dumb, fat, and happy" with the status quo. ... and lawyers on staff they don't need me. The client is my responsibility." Mike had discovered the obvious: His future and the future of his agency were simply to be defined and driven by clients rather than by carriers and producers, as with too many "successful" agencies today. For the next few minutes, we "debriefed" his conversion and more importantly that of his agency team. Mike and his consultant had stripped the operation bare in search of reality. The agency in recent years had become over-managed and under-led. In essence, agencies are the aggregation of products, processes, people, and passion. Products and process require management. People especially the best talent demand leadership. Passion is energy that ensures the best result from the talent assembled. Passion is the domain ...

... who look alike are alike to customers. The task is to find distinctions that make a difference to your customers, and to stress these in everything you do. Schick, the No. 2 razor company, emphasizes a safe shave, an issue that's particularly important to teen and African-American males, who tend to be prone to nicks, bumps, and ingrown hairs. While Gillette wins the close-shave race, Schick goes after niches where safety is an issue. Use your sales staff effectively. Although salespeople can display primadonna-like behavior and even a certain amount of arrogance, they are right when they complain about much of what they're asked to do. Rather than spending time cultivating prospects, servicing existing customers, and building relationships, they are expected to cold call and locate new prospects. While every ... . Start thinking. Serious thought is rare in business. Taking time to gather, review, and consider information is essential. This is why every business can profit from a contrarian (someone who offers the opposite of the popular and accepted view) . Pushed aside, passed over, and ignored, these people are an endangered species. They wear the most devastating label of all: Not a team player. The irony is that every business needs more people like them. They stimulate thinking, force us to analyze our assumptions, and challenge us to look beyond our prejudices. It's better business to be known as a thinking organization. George Will's book, Men at Work: The Craft of Baseball, has only four chapters, the final one entitled Cal Ripken's Information.
