Today a CEO of a high-tech corporation recounted his experience with developing a change management model. Over the past three years the company has nearly doubled in size. Alex (the CEO) decided to organize the business in two groups, headed by two new senior vice presidents. Structurally this made sense.
Rather than internal promotion, however, he hired two vp’s from outside who he thoguht would change the dyanmic or culture within the organization. He desired more management expertise and discipline, he said. But the problem is that the people who used to report to Alex are upset. They do not feel the respect they should have earned for the work they are doing. They now miss the open culture and direct access of the old structure, and do not like the new direction.
“What can I do?” Alex asked me.
First, I said, think about managing the change model. This is your role. How are you communicating the importance of the new structure and what value it will bring for the company? Is there any checking to make sure everyone is on the same page?
“I know I’m not doing enough,” he said.
I also brought up his leadership style. “In the old structure, you were comfortable directing and telling people what to do. But that will not work in this new structure.”
He listened as I went on. “You’re the one who has to change. Otherwise, you’ll undercut your new senior vice presidents. You’ve got to be their coach. As a coach, you can’t tell them what to do. You have to ask them good questions, and get them to assume responsibility for making the change work successfully.”
He thought about it for a while, asked a few questions, and then said: “It makes a lot of sense. How could you help us?”
“I could help the three of you develop a game plan for managing change. I think that would have enormous impact.”
“Great!” he said. “When can we start?”

Internet Directories are nothing but another term for a website. From the point of view of an SEO, directories find their prominence in link building to improve your page ranks. Displaying external links on your own website also plays a major role in contributing to the link popularity of your site.

What matters most at the end of the day is the Page ranking that has been attributed to your site. I always keep in mind, while embarking on a link building spree, that the mere number of links alone does not pave the way for a top slot with major search engines. It is the relevance of your link partner to the site that decides the mileage you had gained from the exchange. What does this mean?

There are directories whose business is putting other’s links on their pages for a price. They are known as link farms. Search engines are smarter. Such links are considered as spam and the destination directory has all the chances of being classified as a spammer. OK, so you decide to avoid link farms and get partners from other directories that are also on the look out for exchange partners to increase their own popularity. Unfortunately, that too may not click very well with the search engines. Why do you have to display your link on a site that has content which is totally diverse from your own? And vice versa, why have you displayed a link on your pages when the site has no relevance to your content, unless you are getting paid for the service?

Therefore, if you mean serious business, your links should be appearing only on those directories that have similar objectives as you. I was always enthralled at the rankings I had achieved by manual submission. Spend some time looking at the contents of a prospective link partner to find out whether it has relevant content as your site. The time is well spent and the search engines will beam at you.

If you can mange one way inbound links to your pages, that is great. It is not a very hard task. Cram your pages with highly informative and original content. This will compel many sites to add your link to their pages as this will tell on their own sincerity for the search engines.

Your posts also need to be well rehearsed and should contain your link along with your important keywords.
