Leader or manager?

When it comes to HR, corporate success is to give the impression that the employee is led by a leader (if it has no quality in this respect), and not necessarily by a manager, how, in fact, ithappened or should happen

And rupture occurs with employee awakening to reality. His bossis not a leader! It has values ​​that you share them, does notconduct house to breathe and power to go with him no matterwhat, no vision, no experience, and challenges are, in fact,execution of inertia.
He thought, therefore, in a corporate myth.
Disappointment is even greater when the employee realizes thathe is not even a manager. It's just a guy with experience inenterprise, the only argument of its decisions, which surroundsmost of the times, people whose sole purpose is to make the old,and that its acclaimed choir any idea.
Any bell sounds around you? :-)
But you know where you can see the best difference between aleader and a manager? A leader is enjoying success as former employees, as well as their respect and friendship. Personally, I look after and see a single leader. Robert Berza1. And somefolks who think now free

Managers work to get their employees to do what they did yesterday, but a little faster and a little cheaper.

Leaders, on the other hand, know where they’d like to go, but understand that they can’t get there without their tribe, without giving those they lead the tools to make something happen.

Managers want authority. Leaders take responsibility.

We need both. But we have to be careful not to confuse them. And it helps to remember that leaders are scarce and thus more valuable.

Norton: 431 million adults have lost 114 billion dollars due to cyber attacks. Only last year

431 million adults have fallen prey to cyber attacks last year, losingthem 114 billion dollars, according to a report by NortonCybercrime. The victims are 74 million Americans who have lost32 billion dollars, the report quoted by AFP.
Cyber ​​attacks and the rate is higher in China and South Africa, 85% of those who said they were victims are Chinese and 84% areAfrican. China cyber attacks cost about $ 25 billion, Brazil $ 15 billion and India $ 4 billion in the last 12 months.
The report shows that more than two-thirds of online adults, ie 69%have been victims of hackers at one point in life, therefore the ratio is almost one million people per day. Mobile phones also becamea favorite target of hackers. 10% of online adults have confessed to have fallen prey to such an attack on the mobile phone.
For the study were interviewed about 20,000 people in 24 countries

Apple and Samsung on sales exceeding Nokia smartphones

Apple, followed closely by Nokia Electronics, surpassed the market share of Nokia's smartphones, worldwide, in the second quarter, according to market research conducted by Strategy Analytics.
Apple has controlled almost one-fifth of the smartphone market with a share of 18.5%, delivering over 20 million iPhones, while NokiaElectronics, with 17.5% share, 19.2 million smartphones shipped , announces cnet.com.
Samsung declined in market share to 15.2% from 38.1 percent, butheld a year ago, as consumers opted for more sophisticatedoperating systems developed by Apple and Google. As a result the company was forced to collaborate with Microsoft and pass theWindows Phone.
In the future, Apple's success depends on keeping the iPhonelaunch in May, which, according to several market sources, will be held in September or October.
On the other hand, Samsung has announced that profits fell, butsales of smartphones have increased. Sunday the companyannounced that it has sold 5 million units of the model Galaxy S II, only 85 days since it was on sale

Pseudo top 5 best-selling smartphone in Romania

When I saw yesterday the first time the top five best-sellingsmartphone in Romania published gadgetreport.ro I amused. Then Irealized that unauthorized persons more seriously could take thistop, which requires clarifications
One is the article written in a lover. To say that "S II Samsung I9100Galaxy Black 16GB drive in the top selling phones with operating systems from emag.ro, cel.ro and Altex" shows lack ofunderstanding of the mobile phenomenon. All phones that are soldhave operating system. Not only smart, but featurephone ordumbphone. The difference is that a smartphone has an operating system more advanced than that of featurephone, which in turn has a better operating system than a dumbphone.
The second is that the title is obviously biased. Most smartphonesare still selling mobile operators who subsidize these phones.Dealers selling mobile phones and their volumes. To present a topsmartphone sales in Romania made ​​only on the basis of 5merchants that would be considered among the most important in the country (based on data whose?) Without the sales figures ofCosmote, Orange, Vodafone and some of their major dealers lead to an obvious distortion of reality.
Yes, it would be nice to know we top the best selling smartphone inRomania, but to one another, this information is not public yet, as happens in other countries. One example: 2 years ago when theiPhone exclusivity in Romania Orange have announced this phonesales in most countries, but no in Romania

Geoana, a president with declining social. Social Media :-)

Politicians have seen the value of the Internet and therefore began tomake their accounts to communicate with voters. If at first the ferventactivity was during the presidential elections over time some of themunderstood that this matter consistent

These include President of the Senate and Geoana. The secondman in the state said on Wednesday it has launched an integratedonline communication platform to keep in touch more easily with those who are interested in its activities and initiatives.
Geoana announced that webpage, blog, Facebook profile, Twitteraccounts, YouTube and LinkedIn, are made ​​available to all Internet users and are updated with updated information, new photographsand audio and video about the work and its initiatives.
Moreover, the Senate president said it was willing to interact withInternet users. A new site of Geoana is the "factory of ideas" whichwill be launched debates in which users are invited to bring their own contributions.
Social Democrat also announced that throughwww.mirceageoana.ro enables a more efficient form of access toother projects that promote, through Aspen Institute Romania andNational Development Committee.
Thus, Internet users will have easier access both to the political projects of the President of the Senate and to the NGOs and thesociety.

Space available for advertising in mobile applications will exceed advertising space sold online

It concludes a recent analysis of Flurry for North American market.Flurry report monitored the traffic of over 100,000 applications formobile and took into account a $ 2.5 CPM applications.
Given the more than 600,000 applications available and the average duration of a session in an application for over four minutes(4 times higher than the average session for a web site) results in afulminant increase. That by the end of the year will surpass the U.S.online display market (discussing the hypothetical case of selling allthe available space in applications).
Below you can see the growth in question:

The main conclusion we can draw from this report is that prices foradvertising in applications will collapse further. In 2011 the U.S. market of online advertising (display) is around 12 billion, whileU.S. mobile advertising (which includes mobi sites, notapplications) is around one billion.
Therefore we already have an excess of unsold space in largeapplications - Apple has acknowledged the failure of mobileadvertising sales and come with discounts of 70% compared toprices in 2010.
Immense competition in the applications and production costsdown to an application are two factors that will lead to increasednumber of applications which will be distributed free of charge andwill hope for funding from advertising.
Moreover, this excess space will be sold increasingly performancecampaigns (CPC or CPA, preferably download), leading to a much lower CPM - in such campaigns have already seen nearly eighttimes CPM smaller (ie $ 0.33).
My recommendation is that advertising revenue recorded by amobile application to represent an additional source of funding andin any case the main source of money, especially to a newly launched application
