Clark Trading and product quaility standards

Safety,Quaility,Profit
Is sort of our manta here at Clark Trading but what does it mean.?
Simple
That first and formost a product we sell has to be safe,we check all items we buy to ensure not only thst they work but that they are safe. This does vary depend on the item but let use a hair dyer for an example it will be plugged in to check the following. No smell (Electrical) is it hot were it should and shouldn't what does it sound like is it sparking,is the entact and the casing ( With hair dryer when stocked there may be a mix of new and used on stock) With all item we ensure they meet the correct CE specs.
Quaility can be a subjective thing to a certain degree but we try to ensure that the quaility is reflected in the price after all some thing in stock will be cheaper and at the lower end of the scale but no matter where they come we ensure they are at the very min fit for their in end purpouse. I mean some stock has come from wholesaler that did not meet this crita and our quaility standards just go straight back. We will do everything in our power to ensure a product is of the quaility expected of it.
And only than does oyr profit come in to it

So I am certain you can buy with confidence

What is the root of all Evil? Dare I say it? Religion

It does not mater weather your religious or not Evil is a concept we all know.

But what is the root of evil?
I would say there are several candidates and all can and do cause problems. But in both religion and money defence they can create great things to.

• Money 
• Religion 
• Just people
• The "Devil" 
• Human nature

Religion?

Ok some one might ask why is religion in this list? Simple thought out record history and to this very day it has caused more wars and blood sheed than even Oil (Please note I am not anti religion) it also has achived some great things.But the fact remains that people from all religions have used it to justify some horific crimes. It is both an enabler and preventer. It is not quite the religions fault more man interpation of it which cause these faults. But the problem is that many a holy book lends it self to misinteraption due to numerous version of the same thing.

Money?

Money is the cause of all evil? Well some people think so. And yes thougth out history nasty people have gone to great lengths to get it cause vast bloodshed and death.But Like religion it can be put to good use to achive things building hospitals etc.

Both money and religion have had nasty thing done in their name.But both have had great thing done because of them.

Evil is a construct.

Human have free will and choice to do good or bad/evil every thing else is just labeling a excuss for want of a word.

Does religion cause evil? Of course not is it used to justify nasty things in some case yes. But that people as for every person using it for these reason more are using it for comfort,guidence,inspration to do good. Evil is just human nature  not religion fault or moneys or many other things,

What makes a good boss? Toxic management part 4

Well we all know to some degree what makes a bad boss/leader and that has been a key part of the previous 3 parts of the toxic management series.
But what make a good boss ? And not just an OK boss?
And I am sure we all have our own ideas please suggest them in the comments.
One point I will make before jumping in this is to some degree the answer will depend on two factors are you the company owner or an employee.

Some things that may seem good can in-fact be bad E.g. a disinterested manager who just lets every one do what they want. Is in-fact a toxic manager for reason previously mentioned in the other toxic management blog.
And this may seem nasty to say but they are your boss not your mate. A boss who is a mate to their staff may seem great and to some degree is but can be very dangerous.This could be that only 1 or 2 staff members fit this and it can lead to favouritism or every is but it will make it harder for them to separate things fro  they are my mate and I  go drink or the such likes with them and them the staff member when things go wrong.Result can include letting things slide. A good boss get on with their work force and so on.
They know the role your doing and can do it themselves when needed this is a key factor a good leader should not ask staff to do things they can't or will not do themselves lead by example. Possible muck in when they have nothing to do if nothing else staff will be more inclined to trust them.
Will pressure can get things done helping it on can lead to stress been able to be a task master and crack the whip not all the time but only when really needed. Again the time scale is tight the staff will struggle to get it done I will lend a hand not sit their watching them struggle is a good attitude for a good leader.

But even a good leader will have flaws and limits know them as a leader and where needed ask for help it not a bad thing.

Who would you say is the best role model for leaders to aspire to be like?
