CEO's are 66% More likely to have these personality trait!
What differentiates CEOs from all the people who never make it to the c-suite? Is it brains? Ambition? Luck? The answer will vary from company to company, but there are some characteristics that appear across organizations. And one such characteristic is how people approach change.
This past month, 4,018 leaders and professionals have taken the free online test “How Do You Personally Feel About Change?” One of the questions asks respondents to select from these options:
• I undertake career/business changes that others describe as difficult or audacious.
• I undertake career/business changes that are achievable and realistic.
• I don’t undertake very many career/business changes.
CEOs Of America’s Best Employers 2016
Launch Gallery
If you’ve ever struggled to convince people to start a really big change, you won’t be surprised to learn that less than a third of respondents undertake changes that are difficult or audacious. Generally people either avoid change or they undertake changes that seem more achievable. All the clichés about change being hard and people avoiding change are pretty accurate.
But while this is true overall, I discovered big differences in how people view change when I dissected the data by position. For instance, 45% of top executives undertake changes that others describe as difficult or audacious. But for frontline employees, that number is only 27%. So in the average company, the CEO is 66% more likely to want audacious change than the employees.
The following chart shows the data for all job levels:
You can see from the chart that there is a very strong linear relationship between how high a person ranks in the company and how much they undertake audacious change.
Frontline employees and junior managers are more likely to enjoy the traditional status quo, and if they do embrace change, it’s more likely to be cautious and measured.
By contrast, CEOs are much more likely to be the change advocates I call Venturers. Venturers are motivated by risk, change, and uncertainty. They thrive when the environment or the work is constantly changing. They tend to like challenges and jump at the opportunity to be the first to do something new. And that means they’re also not terrified of failure, especially if they know they’ll find a chance to try again. Venturers prefer adventure to security. In fact, they find doing the same thing every day incredibly boring. They like to break through their comfort zones, so they regularly challenge themselves with audacious and difficult challenges.
Venturers have some very distinct personality characteristics. And it’s no small coincidence that these characteristics are found more often in CEO roles than in frontline employees or junior managers. In fact, we might surmise from this data that perhaps one way to increase your odds of becoming CEO is to undertake more difficult and audacious change. It’s no guarantee of career success, of course. And obviously, if 45% of CEOS undertake big changes, that means 55% either embrace a more cautious change or avoid change altogether. But the linear relationship between one’s rung on the career ladder and audacious change is really striking. And for anyone interested in discovering the secrets to becoming CEO, this is important data to absorb.
It’s also a good measurement with which to evaluate your current CEO. Do they undertake audacious and difficult change, or are they more cautious and circumspect? When it comes to figuring out what types of change you should pursue to advance your career, one important barometer is the type of change that’s generally supported in your company. If you undertake change that’s too cautious, you risk being left behind. But if you’re on the audacious end of the spectrum and your CEO is not, you might find yourself in political hot water.
Is undertaking audacious change an inborn personality characteristic? Is it learned? Or is it some combination of the two? The truth is, we don’t definitively know, but it’s a good bet that both nature and circumstance have a role to play.
It is true that some people are more predisposed to undertake significant change, climb higher mountains, and tolerate more risk. And this is generally observable in even very small children. On your local playground you’ve probably seen some kids who look like they’re ready for the X-Games while others seem intimidated by the monkey bars.
But it’s also true that CEOs are often under great pressure to undertake audacious change. Boards regularly compare their CEO to executives like the late Steve Jobs, who talked about making a dent in the universe, or other larger-than-life personalities. And if you’re the CEO being compared to Steve Jobs, you are going to feel pressure to undertake more audacious and difficult changes, just to have any hope of comparing favorably.
So what should you do with all this information? Start simply. Look at your current company. Are there lots of big changes or are things pretty status quo? Is your CEO a Venturer or more cautious? Then once you have a handle on your current environment, do an honest assessment of yourself. How would people describe your approach to change? And how does that assessment fit within your current environment
Some ideas of how Pokemon go will help your company grow!
They say “timing is everything.” Nintendo seems to have hit the jackpot with its July 5th release of Pokemon Go, its augmented reality game.
By the time this column publishes, it will have been downloaded more than 8 million times, Nintendo will be averaging $1.6 million in daily revenue, and the Pokemon Go Facebook page will have well over 1 million subscribers.
The world is craving positive distraction. We are all psychologically exhausted from draining world events including senseless shootings, Brexit, and a toxic presidential campaign.
Further, we are squarely in the center of the mid-year slump when low morale and flat sales plague many organizations. We’ve just passed the halfway point so we are scrutinizing our revenues, and we’re all getting a little weary of the hot & volatile summer weather.
Pokemon Go has indeed given the world some respite from all of the sadness and stress.
Pokemon Go has infiltrated Corporate America. There is no denying it. Entire industries are re-shaping their go-to-market strategies. The restaurant industry finds themselves at the mercy of patrons who are downgrading their Yelp reviews because they don’t have any Pokemon on premise.
Employers are at a loss of how to deal with distracted employees.
I’m a firm believer in the Yin-Yang philosophy: Within crisis lies opportunity.
As Pikachu and Charizard continue to take over the hearts and minds of gamers everywhere, here are three ways business leaders can tap into this renewed energy, and harness it within their organizations:
Implement a Team Building Exercise. Organizations can put some friendly competition around the play. Create a “war room” with a leader board so that all employees can participate.
Pokemons don’t care about organizational pecking orders. Pokemon Go levels the playing field, and creates communications and co-working opportunities that previously didn’t exist. Executives should definitely get in on the action. This is a wonderful opportunity to connect with employees that otherwise don’t have access to the executive team.
Harness the Power of Pokemon Positivity. Pokemon Go is having a dramatic effect on mental health! It is boosting moods, lowering anxiety, and significantly helping with depression. These impacts trickle into the workplace, improving morale.
One Twitter fan remarked, “PokemonGo has already been a better treatment for my depression than anything my doctor prescribed or therapist recommended.”
Get Your Employees Moving. Pokemon Go brilliantly gets people out of the office for some exercise, which also helps stimulate creativity, and disconnects them from work for a brief period of time. They can venture out alone or in groups. They come back re-energized, de-stressed, and ready for the second half of the work day.
For the foreseeable future, Pokemon Go is here to stay. Even Mark Cuban has joined in, using it as an opportunity to connect with his son.
Smart leaders will embrace the renewed energy, and create opportunities for connection, rather than creating separation.
While I predict it may be a while before Pokemons become an attractive employee benefit, companies won’t be able to stop their employees from engaging.
Pokemon pursuits for now are indeed the new Happy Hours.
Good luck in your chases!

20 Great Jobs Without requiring a College Degree!
This is our report for 2016,here at Zone X Productions we wanted to help those who couldn't afford college find good high paying jobs,well your in luck.
As millions of college graduates prepare to walk across the stage to receive their diplomas and join the workforce, they face an economy with high unemployment rates, increasing competition for jobs and mounting debt from their college expenses.
Compare that to currently working employees who didn’t attend college but have spent the past four years making money and honing their workplace skills while amassing little to no debt. Not going to college certainly doesn’t jive with what our parents and teachers drummed into us growing up. But it begs the question: does it really pay to go to college? Is it worth earning a minimum of a four-year college degree, at least financially speaking?
There’s no simple answer. In fact, there’s much more to consider before taking the position that college no longer is worth the investment.
Let’s Look At The Numbers
The annual cost for undergraduate tuition, room and board is estimated to be $12,804 at public institutions and $32,184 at private institutions for the 2010 academic year, according to the U.S. Department of Education’s National Center for Education Statistics. That means that even a modest education—a bachelor’s degree from a public university or college—will cost at least $50,000. That expense can quadruple if you attend a top-level private university. Add to this the “opportunity cost,” meaning what you could earn over four years of working at a job instead of studying full-time, and you’re talking real money! So how long, if it all, does it take new graduates to recoup all those college costs?
Assuming you have no degree but are willing to do some advanced training, such as attending a technical school, you could earn around $30,000 a year as a beginner, if you are sharp. That means that over four years, you’d earn about $120,000, while your counterpart who’s in college earns little or nothing, and may even carry the same amount in debt by graduation.
In fact, the average debt for student loans is about $25,000, according to the Institute for College Access & Success' Project on Student Debt. Debts of $100,000 or more isn’t unheard of either, especially for those going to prestigious schools or those earning advanced degrees.
The table below compares the incomes of the top jobs in the Jobs Rated report, based on educational attainment required to get hired.
AVERAGE INCOME LEVELS, TOP 20 JOBS
No College Degree vs. Jobs Requiring 4-Year Degree or Higher
No College Degree vs. Jobs Requiring 4-Year Degree or Higher
| Beginning | Midlevel | Top | |
|---|---|---|---|
| No College Required | $28,350 | $47,200 | $79,150 |
| 4-year degree or higher | $51,250 | $85,300 | $130,600 |
When it comes to the facts and figures, however, an advanced degree really does pay off even though grads will carry some debt into their new careers. The math is all there. In fact, the average American worker with a four-year degree will earn over one million dollars more than their non-degreed counterparts during their career.
That is, except for those college grads that opt for short careers (i.e., stay-at-home parents who begin families just a few years after graduation) where a degree doesn’t pay. It takes several years in the workforce, armed with a college degree, to make it worthwhile. And when it does pay off, it’s worth the effort.
Unless you’re Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg or Steve Jobs, the only way it doesn’t pay to have a four-year degree is to have a career in one of the following highest paying jobs available for non-college grads:However like always we do suggest to get a college degree to further increase your chances of being successful.

Donald Trump said Zone X Productions is one of the companies in America Bringing Jobs To Americans!
As you know,we pride on helping our fellow Americans have jobs espically during tough economic times.We have a promo video showing how Zone X Productions is bringing jobs back to America.
HOW to get a guarantee job with employment referral,let Zone X Productions referral you to a job!Must READ!
There is one thing you can do that increases your chances of being hired: getting an employee referral. Referred candidates are more likely to get hired, perform better and last longer in jobs. This is why companies, large and small, are investing in referral programs. It makes good business sense for them and for you.This is why Zone X Productions is here to help those who are looking for jobs,with our employee referral program,we will send your resume for a small fee of only $50.00 to over 100,000 companies both online and offline.
Here are seven things you need to know about being a referred candidate, based on a recent survey commissioned by iCIMS, a provider of talent acquisition solutions:
1. Referred candidates have better odds of getting hired. When an employee refers someone, that candidate is hired about two-thirds of the time. Plain and simple: You must find people who work inside companies you are interested in working for. Use your in-person network, LinkedIn, Twitter and even Facebook to identify the names of people you already know. It doesn't matter what role your contact is in. What matters is that you let them know the types of roles you are interested in and that you stay on his or her radar, just in case something comes up. It is always best to reach out to people before a job is posted.
2. Employees do make referrals. Employees are jumping on the referral bandwagon. Sixty percent of employees have referred at least one person to an open position within the company, and 38 percent of employees have referred multiple candidates for open jobs. If you are at all skeptical, don't be. By nature, people want to help, and it doesn't take much effort for an employee to refer you for a job. Just ask.
3. Candidates should start at the top. The higher the person referring you is on the corporate ladder, the better your chances of getting hired. Almost all candidates (91 percent) referred by a director level or above were hired, versus 53 percent of hired referrals from an entry-level candidate. If you do know top level executives, reach out to them first. However, don't hesitate to reach out to anyone you know inside the company, because being referred by any level employee increases your chances.
4. Referral incentives exist. While 63 percent of employers currently follow a documented employee referral process, the remaining companies accept referrals in a less formal way. Either formally or informally, companies realize that referrals make great employees and cost less to hire. When asking an employee to refer you, you're actually helping your contact reap rewards.
5. Referrals are the most important job-search resource. Seventy-six percent of job seekers ranked employee referrals as being of high to extremely high importance. This resource ranked higher than company career sites, job boards and even LinkedIn. You may be not believe all the experts who proclaim the power of networking, but you can't dismiss the advice when job seekers report how important referrals are as a resource.
6. Referred employees love their jobs. Sixty-five percent of referred employees were very satisfied with job fit or their ability to fulfill the requirements of the position, and 50 percent were very satisfied with how well they fit within the company. You don't just want a paycheck – you want a job you will enjoy. Leverage the power of past colleagues to help you identify a company and job where you are more likely to be happy.
7. Size makes a difference. If you're targeting small companies with 99 or fewer employees, 14 percent of new hires came from referrals. Medium companies (100 to 999 employees) hire 24 percent of referrals, and companies with 1,000 or more employees fill 27 percent of jobs through referrals. No matter the size of the company, hiring happens through referrals. It may be more difficult to find someone within a smaller company, but don't give up.
E-mail us your resume,with your name,address,e-mail,etc alone with the processing fee of $50.00,you can pay us through paypal or we accept money order.We will then send you a e-mail confirming we have recieved your resume and have send it to over 100,000+ available job positions you desire to be hired.We can't guarantee employment but we do guarantee well intended results.
Bottom line: The best way to get your résumé to the top of the stack is by getting referred. The tools exist today to identify people who work inside companies you are interested in. It is easier to keep track of past colleagues. Plus, companies value the quality of employees who come from referrals. Isn't it time you paid more attention to this job-search resource?

HARP Gives Homeowners a Once In A Lifetime Mortgage Bailout
A forgotten mortgage stimulus program that was passed by Obama to help the middle class has been uncovered. The program is called HARP, which stands for the Home Affordable Refinance Program. The program itself is totally free, and gives homeowners a once in a lifetime mortgage bailout. Like most government benefits this program will expire, but there is still time left for up to 700,000 qualified homeowners to take advantage. It's important that homeowners take advantage of this well designed program.
HARP eliminates mortgage payments, reduces what homeowners owe, lowers interest rates
HARP is a program with no downside. HARP doesn't add any cost to your refi because it's a totally free government program, and it helps qualified homeowners get better, more affordable mortgages. Homeowners have used HARP to eliminate up to 15 years of mortgage payments, cut their interest rates in half, or even to just simply lower their monthly payments and save up to $3,000 a year.
How To Get A HARP Loan
To help homeowners find banks that offer HARP refinances, services such as LowerMyBills are available. LowerMyBills is a completely free service that many homeowners love because it helps them easily compare multiple lenders at once. It only takes about three minutes to use their easy online form, and their network of lenders can help you calculate your new house payment and see if you qualify for HARP.
Why isn't everyone using this refi plan? Here's why...
Banks don't want homeowners to know about it because they hate what this program could do to them. HARP helps homeowners refinance at today's historically low rates and switch to 15 year fixed rate mortgages. That helps homeowners save up to $190,000, which means homeowners who use HARP could take as much as $190,000 out of banks pockets and put it back into theirs.

Top Reasons Why Bill Gates became successful in business and life!
In so many ways, Bill Gates did his most significant work outside of Microsoft, the company he co-founded with childhood friend Paul Allen in 1975.
In his 20s, Gates saw the future in copyrighting software before the majority of the tech industry. When IBM came to him to ask if he had an operating system for its first line of personal computers, he said yes. Then, he purchased an operating system from small software outfit in Seattle, modifying the software program and called it MS-DOS. He licensed it to IBM for $50,000, retaining the copyright.
As PCs became ever-popular, MS-DOS became the reigning operating system. What followed were more benchmarks in innovation. Gates went on to announce the revolutionary Windows in 1985, which became the most widely used operating system; by 1987, the year after Microsoft went public, the 31-year-old Gates became the world’s youngest billionaire at that time.
Two years later, he founded Corbis, the largest visual archive of art and photography, and in 1995, when the Internet was still budding, Microsoft released the browser Internet Explorer. The same year, Gates became the world’s richest man.
However, it wasn’t until after his mother Mary Maxwell Gates passed away in 1994 that Gates developed a visible stake outside of Microsoft, which was largely due to his mother. Mary was a formidable woman in her own right who served on several boards, including First Interstate Bank in Seattle (which was founded by her grandfather), as well as for the United Way national board where she served as its first female chair.
Close as they were, Mary and Gates butted heads often. At the age of 11, Gates seemed to gain precocious intellect overnight, his father recalled to The Wall Street Journal. The young Gates pushed back against his mother’s rules and expectations, and their fights got explosive. Ultimately, she took him to see a therapist, whom Gates informed, “I'm at war with my parents over who is in control."
The therapist, in turn, counseled Mary and her husband to ease up. Ease up they did, enrolling him in a private school at the age of 13 where he’d have more academic freedom to pursue his interests -- and where he discovered his love for computers.
However, his mother never stopped offering counsel and guidance. Years later, when Gates took Microsoft public and became a billionaire, a Microsoft employee recounts how the two quarreled after Mary pressured her son to use his wealth for philanthropy.
Gates responded by yelling, “I’m trying to run my company!"
However, the tech billionaire was convinced to create a fundraising arm at Microsoft and donate to his mother’s preferred charity: The United Way. Eventually, he joined its board. But, it was a letter that his mother gave his bride-to-be at the time in 1994 that lead to his work in philanthropy on a purposeful scale.
Her letter read: "From those to whom much is given, much is expected.”
Six months later, she died. Gates never forgot her words. He tasked his father, Bill Gates Sr., with $100 million to start the William H. Gates Foundation in 1994 to give grants to worthy causes. It eventually became part of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (founded in 2000).
In 2011, Gates and his wife, along with his good friend Warren Buffett, devised The Giving Pledge, a campaign to convince the world’s wealthiest to give away the majority of their fortunes during their lifetimes.
From advocating for and funding Common Core initiatives in education to providing vaccines to combating infectious disease in the world’s poorest communities -- and more recently, focusing $80 million on gender gap research -- the Seattle titan worth $87.4 billion is one of the true radicals and visionaries of our time.
He sets a high bar for the rest of his ilk -- both and his wife have given away more than $29 billion so far.

How Hip Hop Mogul Jay-Z Business Deals Made Him Wealthy!
Zone X Productions did a interesting study on Hip Hop Mogul Jay-Z,on this subject we show you how exactly Jay-Z became wealthy it wasnt only through music but his linked businesses deals is how he got his multi-million dollar net worth.
Check Out All The Businesses Jay-Z Is Into
Most people are by now aware that Jay-Z is not just a rap artist but a bona fide business mogul with many very well performing businesses. But it’s easy to escape just how many different businesses he’s into. If you count those he started, those he licenses his image or IP to and those he advises, it’s very impressive, especially given how many sectors he’s into.
Last week the Wall Street Journal did a great story on Jay-Z’s business empire that you should go read. But we’ve compiled all the interesting businesses that Jay-Z is into from that list.
Roc Nation
Jay-Z created this company with Live Nation in a $150 million, 10-year deal. In the internet age, the company makes money not just on music sales but on music publishing, artist management and touring.
Live Nation put up $25 million up front and $5 million every year for overhead for this new venture, and will get a share of the revenues, which is going to come not just from Jay-Z’s own work but from new talent he’s planning on incubating there.
The company hasn’t put out one artist since it was founded two years ago and yet is profitable, says Jay-Z, precisely because of its diversified revenue streams. Smart.
The New Jersey Nets(Now Named Brooklyn Nets)
Jay-Z is a part owner of the NBA team the New Jersey Nets now named Brooklyn Nets. Last year Forbes valued the Nets Team Franchise at $269 million.
The 40/40 Club
Jay-Z founded the 40/40 club, a chain of sports bars with a club atmosphere. The club now has eight locations, including Tokyo and Macao.
The Spotted Pig
After investing in the semi-famous chic New York bistro in the West Village, Jay-Z bought the entire building. The place is Michelin-starred and doesn’t empty.
Rocawear
Jay-Z founded Rocawear back in 1995 and has promoted the hell out of it since, and it’s worked. He sold the company for $204 million in 2007, but retains creative and operational control.

Carol’s Daughter
We’ve got to admit this one surprised us: Jay-Z co-owns the Carol’s Daughter line of perfumes and beauty products. The line has been featured on shows like the Tyra Banks Show and Oprah.
“Decoded”
Jay-Z is is publishing a book called Decoded, built around his lyrics and that is, according to the WSJ, “a hybrid of music history, social commentary and memoir.”

What’s interesting here from a business perspective is the innovative promotion: Jay-Z got Microsoft to put up $1 million to promote the book as part of an initiative with Bing. Pretty cool.
Bonus: And according to our Zone X Productions crew staff we talked to Jay-Z’s manager and found out that Jay-Z has been friendly with Bill Gates ever since they met at a 2006 conference on the future of entertainment. We’re not surprised the two hit it off.
Reebok
The Basketball Jones
In a four-year partnership, Jay-Z became the first non-athlete to have a line of Reebok shoes named after himself, the S.Carter line, which was popular.
Budweiser Select
Typically for how Jay-Z works, in 2006 he didn’t just star in ads for Budweiser Select, but he also helped craft them.
Interestingly, one of the reasons why he chose to go with Budweiser was in response to the image of rappers as drinking champagne constantly.
Cherry Coke
Coca-Cola, the world’s greatest brand, brought in Jay-Z to advise on the redesign and relaunch of Cherry Coke.
Translation Advertising
Most of these brand partnerships (Budweiser, Coke, HP) go through the ad agency Jay-Z cofounded with Steve Stoute, a serial entrepreneur who had sold his previous company to Interpublic, the third largest ad agency conglomerate.

Music
Oh, we almost forgot! Jay-Z also makes a little music once in a while. He’s had more Billboard 200 albums than any solo artist (and anyone except the Beatles), he’s won 10 Grammy awards and sold 45 million albums overall. His last album, “The Blueprint 3,” debuted at number one and was his first album to have 3 Top 10 singles.

Because his early tracks were rejected by most labels, Jay-Z made one of the smartest moves ever and started his own label, Roc-A-Fella Records, which had a distribution deal with Def Jam Records, where he was President and CEO from 2004 to 2008.
