		<description><![CDATA[Have you ever had the situation where a customer rings up with a request and before you know what has happened, you have said "yes, we can do that"?  You then put down the phone, scratch your head and then realise that you just may have a problem.  This is an all too familiar occurrence for many business people.  

The challenge is not when to say "no" but when to say "yes".

		<description><![CDATA[I recently heard about a manager who called all his staff in for a meeting about the future of his part of the business.  As he went through the presentation, he talked about a new, more efficient structure.  The problem was, the new structure left off a bunch of existing people.  These existing people immediately asked "where am i".  To their surprise, they  were told that their roles where no longer needed and the manager wasnt sure if they would have a job after 30 June.  Now this doesnt appear to  be the smartest approach to the problem of how to tell someone they dont have a job any more.  What is the impact of this approach and how could that manager have handled it better?
