First things First, I know we originally had planned to change our site a couple years ago, then I did the work myself and the site was destroyed, then I had some help and we beefed it up a great deal.

Next, the site was never the same look wise, never had the look it once had, so I am now deciding to change everything about the site.

What is coming next, will be what should have happened a long time ago.

I am planning some Hvacr Conventions within a year as well, so hopefully, we can all be a part of that as well, and have some fun here along the way.

If all goes well, we will be sending out emails to all our members, and tell them how its going and when it will be coming out.

It will be a complete site, with all the whistles and bells for all members to enjoy.

You've been in your industry for a while now. You've paid your dues. Now you're ready to be in charge.

The problem is you haven't held an official "leadership role" since your tenure as captain of your high school softball team. So how do you prove that you're prepared to take the reins if you don't have managerial experience?

Whether you're looking to move into a management position at your current company, or you want to start from scratch as a leader at a new company, here are the best ways to prove it's your turn to be the boss:

Be a problem solver

Great leaders are innovative and proactive and lead by example. A good way to demonstrate that you possess all of these qualities is by seeking out -- and solving -- problems in your department or at your company.

"If there's a problem that can be fixed, bring your solution to the table at the same time you highlight the problem," says Renessa Boley, a leadership coach in Washington, D.C., and founder of The Big Life Network, a career and personal coaching firm in Rockville, Md. "If there's a way to do your job more efficiently, do it first, then bring that solution to your manager. That's a sure-fire way of stepping into a leadership role without the promotion. Leaders lead; others wait to be told what to do."

Similarly, if you're looking for a leadership role a new company, highlight your problem-solving ability on your résumé. "The best way to do that is to highlight results," Boley says. Emphasize how you've increased productivity, saved the company time or money, or improved morale, she says.

Observe current company leaders

When vying for a leadership role, do some research. Observe current leaders in the company and see what qualities they possess. Then look at the functions and responsibilities of your own job and see where you can demonstrate those same qualities.

If you are applying to a new company, research the company mission statement and values on its website. Emphasize corresponding skills on your résumé.

For example, Chuck Martin, author of "Work Your Strengths," says, "If a company values long-term strategy and big-goal orientation, you should highlight long-term projects you successfully completed or how you easily stay focused on long-term objectives. If a company is more short-term driven for, say, making quarterly numbers, you should highlight how you deal with day-to-day and week-to-week activities, and highlight how you tend to start projects as soon as they are assigned," Martin says.

Be a leader now

Ensure that you're next in line for a promotion by taking on leadership roles in your current position.

"Most organizations today have committees, task forces, study groups and project teams for people who are nonsupervisors, "says Dennis Kravetz, author of "Measuring Human Capital." "All of these groups require a leader."

So the next time a task force or project team is formed, volunteer to lead the group. "In this capacity, the person can demonstrate leadership competencies and build leadership skills," Kravetz says.

John Baldoni, an internationally recognized leadership coach and author of "Lead your Boss: The Subtle Art of Managing Up," says, "Those who aspire to leadership should make it known they are ready for more responsibility by asking for it and following through on the asking. Prove yourself as a person who can get things done."

Then, add these leadership or project management roles to your résumé, making sure to highlight examples of how you helped the team achieve, Baldoni says.

Cover for the boss

Offer to cover for your boss while he or she is traveling or on vacation.

"While it might mean more work, it is an excellent way to demonstrate leadership and have it be visible to others," Kravetz says. "Some supervisors might not want a nonsupervisory to cover for them and instead would ask another peer to take over. However, many are open to the idea, particularly with less sensitive tasks," he says.

Bottom line

The best way to demonstrate that you're ready for a leadership role is to show your manager and company higher-ups that you are more interested in the role than the title. "Managers want to see that you possess the intangible qualities of a leader -- like initiative, problem solving, vision and follow-through -- without the title," Boley says.]]>

Why do some people seem to reach the top of the corporate ladder easily, while others remain stuck on the middle-management rung? You might think that it is just because those people have more of what it takes to succeed, like brains, talent and powerful people in their corner. But there is something else that is just as important: attitude.

Dr. Martin Seligman, an authority on optimism, discovered that attitude was a better predictor of success than I.Q., education and most other factors. He found that positive people stay healthier, have better relationships and go further in their careers. And he even found that positive people make more money.

Anyone can adopt the right attitude. No matter where you are from or how much innate talent you have, the right attitude can make a difference in your career. Try adopting these 10 attitudes of successful workers:

1. I am in charge of my destiny.
If you spend your entire career waiting for something exciting to come to you, you will be waiting a long time. Successful professionals go out and make good things happen. So commit yourself to thinking about your career in an entirely different way. You will make it to the top, and you are in charge of making it happen.

2. Anything is possible.
Think that there is no way you will ever be at the vice-president level? Then you definitely won't. Remember: If you think you can't, you probably won't. Adopt the attitude of The Little Engine That Could -- "I think I can."

3. No task is too small to do well.
You never know when you are going to be noticed. That is one reason to take pride in your work -- all of it. One public relations executive in Chicago said that her first task in the PR department of a ballet company was reorganizing the supply closet. She tackled the project with gusto and was immediately noticed for her hard work and attention to detail. Remember this the next time you feel like slacking because you are working on a menial task.

4. Everyone is a potential key contact.
While you do need to be aggressive in the workplace, you can also go far by being nice to those around you. Do you think it's unimportant to establish a good rapport with your boss's secretary? Well, just try getting your meeting squeezed onto the schedule when you really need it. Be courteous to those around you -- you never know when your past contacts will play a role in your future.

5. I was made to do this job... and the one above me.
If you spend your days feeling like you are not cut out to do the work you are responsible for, your performance will suffer. Your job may not be the perfect fit, but successful workers act like they are in their dream job, no matter where they are.

6. It's not just what I know, but who I know.
Successful workers understand the importance of networking, both in and out of the office. You need to proactively establish professional contacts. Invite a colleague out to lunch. Go to the after-work happy hour. Join your professional association. Do your part to establish a networking path for your future.

7. What else can I do?
Since you are in charge of your destiny, it's your job to look for ways to improve your professional self. Volunteer to take on an extra project. Learn a new skill that will make you more marketable. Stay late to help your co-workers. Successful workers don't just complete the job and sign out -- they look for additional ways to make their mark.

8. Failure will help pave the way to my success.
While it seems like some people never experience setbacks, the truth is everyone fails from time to time. The difference between successful and unsuccessful people is how they deal with failure. Those who find success are the ones who learn from mistakes and move on.

9. I am my own biggest fan.
Have you been waiting for someone in the office to recognize your talents and efforts? Maybe it's time you start tooting your own horn. Step up and talk about your accomplishments and what you have done for the company. Successful workers know how to point out their achievements without sounding boastful.

10. My opportunity monitor is never turned off.
Yes, there will be days when you will want to just be happy with the status quo. But remember that successful workers are always on the lookout for opportunities to improve. Keep your eyes, ears and your mind open to new opportunities -- you never know when you will discover the one that will change the course of your career!]]> By Kate Lorenz, CareerBuilder.com Editor

No one likes this person. Sometimes not even the boss. Sometimes the boss does savor the attention and rewards it. You sit by while attention, promotions and other perks get handed out to the employee most willing to suck up.

If you're not the kind of worker who is willing to wear a fake smile every moment of the day, you can still make a good impression on the boss. You'll earn the right kind of recognition from your boss and maybe your co-workers.

First, here are the wrong ways to suck up:

· You are not 007
Your boss can't be everywhere all the time, and when she's not looking, employees are bound to slack off or air some grievances. That's OK. You don't need to sleuth on her behalf and report. Not only will you lose the trust of your co-workers, but your boss won't be impressed with your duplicity.

· "Is it me or are you getting younger by the day?"
Who doesn't appreciate flattery? People who can sense false flattery, that's who. Compliments don't matter when they're handed out too frequently, because the recipient begins to question your authenticity. Reserve your praise for situations when your boss truly dazzles you and your words will mean something to him.

· Smothering your boss
No matter how much you want to impress your boss, don't monopolize her time. E-mails, pop-ins, reports, meetings -- give her some rest. The way to impress her is to do a good job. Annoying her won't earn praise.

· "LOL You're hilarious!"
Your boss is probably a nice, great person. He might even be funny. Chances are he's not a laugh riot. It's OK to chuckle politely when a joke falls flat, but don't overcompensate. Nothing screams "I'm a big phony!" like someone who sounds like a 1950s studio audience.

· "Do you ever have a bad idea?"
You might not realize that your boss looks to you, her employees, for all kinds of support. She doesn't want to always hear a chorus of "Yes, I completely agree with you" every time she proposes a new idea. Tactful, honest feedback, even when you're disagreeing with the boss, is appreciated and can get new ideas rolling.

And here are the right ways to do it:

· Be a clock watcher
No, not the kind who can't wait to leave work -- the kind of clock watcher who cares about being on time. Arrive on time or early in the morning. Don't be tardy to meetings. Don't leave 20 minutes early every afternoon. Show your boss that you're not looking for any opportunity to ditch work.

· "Go, team, go!"
Sure, don't pretend that every idea the boss has is genius, but do give kudos to the ones that are. Give due credit to the boss even if her idea is just a steppingstone for a bigger idea that you have. It shows you recognize others' accomplishments and that you're interesting in maintaining good relationships with your team.

· Cover your ears
Gossip is part of the workplace, and you can't escape it. You can, however, refuse to participate in it. Ignore what you hear and don't repeat it to others. In fact, if you hear something that is false or that can be easily addressed, suggest to the gossiper that he or she discuss the situation with the boss. You might not get credit for being a problem solver, but resisting the temptation to engage in gossip makes for a better workplace for everyone.

· "Here's what I think."
Sometimes bosses aren't as in tune with their employees as they think they are. Meanwhile, you might know exactly what's going on at work because you work more closely with your colleagues. You can tell the boss, "Listen, although you envisioned ABC happening, XYZ is really what's taking place." Because you have a better perspective, you can explain why things aren't working and possibly give your own suggestions. As long as you demonstrate that you're keeping him informed and not trying to do his job or tattle about your co-workers, your honesty will be appreciated.]]>

As long as you demonstrate that you're keeping him informed and not trying to do his job or tattle about your co-workers, your honesty will be appreciated.]]> http://hvacrtalk.com/showthread.php?tid=1719 Fri, 25 Jun 2010 09:03:30 -0500 http://hvacrtalk.com/showthread.php?tid=1719 http://hvacrtalk.com/showthread.php?tid=1717 Wed, 23 Jun 2010 08:41:32 -0500 http://hvacrtalk.com/showthread.php?tid=1717

I asked him to remove the motor from the old cooler, since it was only a year old when we stopped using it. It then was unused for one more year until the leasee moved in.

It worked fine when we used it. And transferring it over was saving us $100.

Problem is that only HIGH cool started to work and not LOW cool. Repair guy had other jobs to attend to, and only just now returned to work on it two weeks later. He has told my leasee that the motor is hot. How can the motor be hot when it was only a year old when we stopped using it??

Also, how can a hot motor cause LOW not to work, but HIGH does??

Thanks for any feedback. I want to make sure this sounds up and up.
