Innovation - Individual Characteristics

Last week I wrote about what it means to be innovating and what is needed. Today I will look at the individual characteristics of what you need to be innovating.

To be an effective innovator you need:

1.  To know what you want to achieve, don't worry just yet about how to achieve them it will come.

2.  To define clearly the aims and benefits of the project.

3.  To argue the case for the project persuasively.

4.  To get support not only from your boss/investors but also from your staff and colleagues. 

5.  Courage to take calculated risks and not give in when the inevitable setbacks occur.

6.  To be great at getting people into action

7.  Be able to get things done.

8.  The ability to handle opposition or interference on the project.

9.  Be able to maintain momentum and not loose enthusiasm in more tedious work.

All of these aspects are important and if you recognize that you are unable to do some of these things, don't worry you can always hire someone that can cover the ones you can't, if that is not in play learn how to deligate to the correct people.

Next week I will talk a bit about what characteristics organizations need to be innovating.

Innovation

Innovation is the life-blood of an organization. There is nothing so stultifying to a company - or the people in it - as a belief that the old ways must be the best ways. An Organization which tries to stand still will not surive. And this I see everyday in business around me. They work hard to get to a certain point and then theys it back and relax, unfortunetly it does not work that way. 

Innovation requires a blend of creativity, clear thinking and the ability to get things done. It requires thinkers and doers to work closely together. Management or Owners must create a climate in which staff have the scope to develop new ideas and the resources to implement them.

The success of innovative projects, therfore, can be seen to depend on two things:

1. The Characteristics of the individual manager and

2. The Climate of the Business.

Next week I will talk a bit more about innovation and what individual charactaristics is needed to be an effective innovator.

Why Things Go Wrong

The main reasons for things going wrong are:

1. Inability to learn from mistakes

2. Sheer incompetence through over promotion

3. Poor selction, inadequate training

4. Over-confidence

5. Under-confidence

6. Laziness

7. Lack of foresight

What can you do about it?

1. Mistakes will happen. The unforgivalbe thins is to make the same mistake twice. Learn from your mistakes by analysing what went wrong.

2&3 This is something you should minimize in your subordinates by a constant drive to improve selction and performance standards and by training and coaching aimed at correcting specified weaknesses.

4. This is the most difficult problem to eradicate. Mistakes occur because you are so certain that you know all the answers that no attempt is made to foresee or take care of the unexpected. Over-confident people tend to have tunnel vision not taking notice of what is happening on either side or beyond.

5. This can be overcome as long as the individual is fundamentally competent. Mentorship works well here.

6. No one would ever admit to being lazy. But they do exist, either because they are naturally indolent or they have not been given sufficient leadership and a well-defined roll in the business. If you have such a staff member give them the boot, it cannot be tolerated. 

7. This is a common reason for mistakes. You must try to anticipate all the eventualities and make contingency plans accordingly. You may not get it right every time, but you will at least be better prepared if thought has been given to some of the eventualities.

APPLICATION TIPS: To tone or not to tone....

So many beauty therapists and salons believe that a toner is not necessary, but use a toner for a week, and see the difference on your skin.  A toners’ basic function, is to ensure that all dirt, make-up and dead cells have been removed from the skin with the cleansing process. This is of utmost importance before applying a liposome onto your skin.  

Follow this easy recipe for a healthy, youthful, glowing skin:

  • Cleanse the skin twice, morning and evening, with a Dr Baumann Cleanser suitable for your skin type.
  • Tone the skin, after the second cleanse with the SkinIdent Facial Tonic Special.  
  • Apply 4 drops of Hyaluronic Acid Ampoule to the skin, and gently massage into the skin.
  • Apply the Liposome Mask, and leave over night. 

SkinIdent Facial Tonic Special

This facial tonic refreshes and cleans the skin deep within the pores. The high content of Panthenol, Proline and the high concentration of Hyaluronic acid allows for the ideal "pre treatment" and preparation for the SkinIdent® treatment to follow. Facial Tonic Special is perfectly coordinated with the SkinIdent® Cleansing Milk Special. Please always use these two products together so that you can enjoy the synergizing effect of both products to your skins fullest advantage.

APPLICATION TIPS: Dry Skin

Due to the a lack of natural oil present in the skin, a dry skin feels, extremely tight, and uncomfortable.  This type of skin is also more prone to fine lines, and dehydration.

Follow these easy steps for a more nourished, less tight complexion:

  • Cleanse the skin twice, morning and evening, with the SkinIdent Cleansing Milk.  This cleanser contains Vitamin E, Hyaluronic Acid and Lecithin to prevent the skin from drying even more.
  • Apply the MultiActive Liposome Ceramid onto a cleansed skin, morning and evening.  The ceramides, together with the phospholipids of the liposomes, are important components of the intercellular substance between the skin cells, and display their effect in the upper layer of the skin. This strengthens the barrier function of the horny layer, which means a dry, flaky skin works much more effectively.
  • Follow with the Sensitive Normal and Dry Skin Cream.  This light cream with jojoba oil, vitamin E, vitamin A, provitamin B5, urea and lactic acid gently nourishes, and replace lost oils in the skin. 

SkinIdent Cleansing Milk

This high quality cleansing milk removes sebum and dirt particles. It cleans the skin in an exceptionally mild way. At the same time valuable active substances such as vitamin E, hyaluronic acid and lecithin have gentle nourishing characteristics. The Cleansing Milk should be followed by the Facial Tonic. Both SkinIdent® products complement each other ideally, so that your skin is perfectly prepared for the moisturiser to follow. Also available in travel size.

APPLICATION TIPS:  Treating Pigmentation

The first step in treating any type of Hyper-pigmentation is to make sure that you are taking good care of your skin to begin with.  Having realistic expectations is key.  Always remember that pigmentation is one of the most difficult problems to treat and cure.  The root of the problem needs to be established first, is it hormone related, medication, skincare products or genes that is causing your pigmentation.  Once this is eliminated, are you ready to treat.  Remember that pigmentation can be lightened, and will never disappear.  As soon as you stress, expose your skin to ultra violet light or excessive heat, your pigmentation will flare up again!  Gently lighten your pigmentation the Bionome way!

  • Cleanse your skin twice, morning and evening, with the Dr Baumann Cleansing Milk.  This cleanser gently but thoroughly cleanses without drying the skin. 
  • Apply the Liposome E+C onto a clean face and neck.  The Liposomes will transport active ingredients such as Vitamin C deeper into the skin, for a lightening effect.
  • Apply the Bleaching Cream, morning and evening.  This intelligent cream create the illusion that your skin is in constant shade, while gently lightening any marks with the presence of Vitamin C.

APPLICATION TIPS: Treating Acne, the easy way!

Acne is a skin disease that commonly occur during adolescence and often continues into adulthood.  Aside from scarring, its main effects are psychological, such as reduced self-esteem and in very extreme cases, depression.  The key to treating acne is gentleness and a diet with a low glycemic load.

Follow these easy steps:

  • Cleanse your skin twice, morning and evening, with the Dr Baumann Cleansing Gel.  This cleanser gently but thoroughly cleanses without drying the skin. It is important to be gentle and not to ‘scrub’ your skin.  This will only aggravate and stimulate more oil production, and ten to one spread the infection even more.
  • Apply the Active Care lotion onto a clean face and neck.  The Liposomes will transport active ingredients such as Tea Tree deeper into the skin, for an antibacterial and drying effect.
  • Apply the Zinc Cream every evening over the Active Care to soothe, heal and dry any blemishes.  Leave overnight for best results.

Active Care

The ultimate treatment for pimple prone, impure skin. It treats the skin efficiently with clearly measurable results in both the lower levels of the epidermis and on the skin’s surface. Active Care contains valuable active ingredients in high concentrations such as tea tree oil, vitamin E, lecithin, zinc oxide and vitamin A. Active Care must be applied over the entire face (and décolleté if necessary), directly onto clean skin. Regular application of this product will ensure a dramatic improvement of impure problem skin (liposome material present in the lecithin allows for a deeper penetration of the epidermis).

Say it with red hearts and ribbons.  Spread a little beauty and good feelings everywhere.  February brings thoughts of Valentines Day, of hearts and flowers and red ribbons.  Today it celebrates love in all its forms and is not restricted to romantic love.  People exchange cards and gifts with parents, siblings, cousin’s friends, colleagues and in present times this day has assumed a secular and global flavor , being celebrated by peoples of all races, religions and ages.  It is a joy filled time for everyone to share.

Inspired by Valentines Day, Dr Baumann Cosmetics have decided to introduce a RED HEARTS & RIBBON MONTH creating a new tradition of community awareness and caring with the focus on healthy families through good nutrition and safe skincare.

Looking at your family and friends and your skincare choices, taking informed decisions about how you care for your skin and that of your family means finally voting for Bionome skin solutions.  Being bionome is the only answer for everyone who is concerned about and respects the environment and who cares about healthy skincare for themselves and their whole family.  Talking is one thing, adopting the bionome principles is a true act of commitment and support for healthy beauty.

Dr Baumann Cosmetics have chosen to make a stand for safe skincare and have embraced the Bionome concept in everything they do.  In fact Dr Baumann Cosmetics is the only BIONOME Company in the world today.

  • Skin compatible and skin identical products.

Setting the Bionome standards is achievable when one chooses to use “skin compatible” or “skin identical” ingredients as only this will ensure the avoidance of allergies, bring the skin back to perfect harmony and slow down the aging process dramatically.

Skin Compatible or Skin Identical products are recognized by your immune system as part of your body.  That is why the results achieved by suing only Dr Baumann Cosmetics are so remarkable.

Start with the bionome Basics:

  • A Dr Baumann Cleansing Milk or Dr Baumann Cleansing Gel, a Dr Baumann Facial Tonic, the all important Multi Layer Liposomes and a cream or lotion of your choice.
  • If you are a “newcomer” to Dr Baumann Bionome Skincare then your choice must be the Dr Baumann MutliActive Liposome Light.  If you are already using the products “step out” and use the Dr Baumann MutliActive Vitamin E+C, perfect for outdoor sun loving ,sport loving men and women.
  • Dr Baumann MultiActive Ceramid is recommended for fine skins that need extra protection, skins that have undergone a deep peel, aging atrophic skin or extremely dry flaky skins.
  • Liposome MultiActive Super Cure, the most remarkable of all the MultiActive Liposomes contains the highest concentrations of Liposomes, Nanosomes, Ceramides as well as Vitamin A, E and many essential vegetable oils.  It is an intensive cure for damaged, needy skin, atrophic and aging skin that needs an instant firm up.
  • Intensive Creams/Sensitive Creams filled with essential vitamins and vegetable oils e.e Jojoba Oils, Evening Primrose Oil, Shea Butter and Macadamia Nut Oil offer perfect compatibility with your skin.
  • The Multivitamin Lotion is ideal as a lighter protection for active men and women and as a “start-up” for young skins.  It is a pleasant mix of essential vitamins and herb extracts with light vegetable oils such as Macadamia Nut Oil.
  • Dr Baumann Eye Cream contains protecting Vitamin E, regenerating Vitamin A, balancing protective lecithin for treating and protecting and deeply hydrating Hyaluronic acid
  • Dr Baumann Eye Gel that is Ceramid based for both hydrating and protecting for women and men.
  • Dr Baumann Active Care and Dr Baumann Zinc Cream for acne and impure skin both purify, and treat infection.

It’s also important to take the time to discuss your family skincare needs with your beauty therapist it’s a first step to a good looking skin.

We Wish you healthy fun February days filled with hearts and ribbons.

Looking good and maintaining a youthful appearance is the mantra of today’s society and youthful means a healthy lifestyle, healthy diet and a well cared for skin.  Skin Aging caused by environmental and other external influences and in fact often by the very skincare we use has more influence on the aging process than our genetic disposition.

Some of the major caused of premature aging are: Excessive unprotected exposure to the sun, free radicals, chemical ingredients, fragrance and colorants used in skincare, stress, hormonal imbalances and allergies. 

The visible signs of aging cannot be fully avoided, but can be dramatically minimized.  The key is to do it as gently as possible.  As far as the skin is concerned there are two types of aging - intrinsic and extrinsic.

Intrinsic aging

Involves the inevitable; as we grow older, our skin naturally becomes thinner and drier.  A diminishing production of collagen makes the skin less elastic.  What used to bounce back begins to sag and deep wrinkles may begin appearing.  The rate of these events is genetically determined for each person; the process first becomes noticeable between the ages of 30 and 35.

Extrinsic aging

Results from exposure to the environment.  Extrinsic aging is the critical element in determining who looks older or younger than their biological age.  Exposure to sunlight is a key contributor to extrinsic aging.  Photo aging results when elastin and collagen breakdown occurs causing fine lines and wrinkles to intensify.  Photo aging results when elastin and collagen breakdown occurs causing fine lines and wrinkles to intensify.  Photo aging also causes pigment changes resulting in the development of age spots (sun-induced freckles) and uneven skin tone.  Spider veins and dilated capillaries are another sign of a photo aged skin.  Lifestyle choices also have an impact on extrinsic aging.

Free Radicals: 

The free radical theory is the most widely accepted theory of aging.  On the cellular level, they are responsible for severe damage, destroying the cell membrane, DNA, RNA, Collagen and Elastin structures.  We need the anti-oxidants to scoop up the free radical before they can damage the ells.  Te anti oxidants must be non toxic otherwise they will damage the skin.  Is is also essential the anti oxidant has to et to the site where protection is needed.

Dr Baumann MultiActive Liposome E+C contains high concentrations of anti-Free Radical vitamin E, C and A.  the Liposomes present in the products transfer essential ingredients to defend the skin from further free radical damage and will repair damaged cell membranes so that the cells remain intact and healthy.

Hormones:

Receptor sites for hormones cannot function when the cell looses fluidity and this speeds up the aging process.  All Dr Baumann MultiActive Liposomes contain high concentrations of Hyaluronic Acid and Urea that will help to re-hydrate the cell membranes allowing essential nutrients to pass into the cells, waste products to leave the cells that the functions that ensure a youthful healthy skin can be carried out successfully.

Stress:

Stress causes a number of chemical reactions in the body.  It affects the minerals in our body such as iron and copper creating free radicals.  These free radicals attack our cell membranes and further accelerate the aging process.  When sugar molecules attach themselves to your Collagen fibers, they trigger a series of spontaneous chemical reactions.  These  culminate in gradual and irreversible cross links between adjoining collagen molecules and this cross linking leads to a loss of elasticity and to lines and wrinkles on the skin.  Try Yoga, or meditation in order to build on your inner strengths and to find your inner quiet place.

Proteins:

A lack of proteins is noticeable in the face where the features become soft and less defined.  If you do not receive sufficient protein the body is forced to feed on itself and this causes both a tissue and muscle breakdown and a slack appearance to the skin.  This simple fact of life can change the way you look beginning with your next meal.

Focus on Water:

The fountain of youth is definitely Water.  Forever young means drink water, drink water and drink water.  If you do not drink water your organs and cells cannot function.  How can your skin be soft and plumped up if you don’t drink the elixir of life?  Without adequate water you cannot metabolize fat, nor can your body nor can your body flush wastes from the cells.  A dehydrated body encourages aging so treat yourself to delicious tasting spring water it is the best deal.

Essential skincare for the prevention of premature aging:

  • Anti Oxidant Creams and serums- All the Dr Baumann MultiActive Liposomes, Dr Baumann Multi Vitamin Lotion, MultiActive Vitamin E+C.
  • Sun protection Dr Baumann Sun and Solarium.
  • Food Supplements: Dr Baumann Food supplement containing all the elements needed for a healthy skin.  Dr Baumann Omega 3 food Supplement.
  • The use of Dr Baumann Multi Layer Liposomes, Ceramides and Nanosomes.
  • Dr Baumann Hyaluronic Acid and Urea Ampoules for intense hydrating.
  • Dr Baumann Skin Care that contains only skin compatible or skin identical ingredients.
  • Dr Baumann Skincare containing no chemical sunscreens, chemical preservatives, oxygen, colorants, fragrance, or ingredients derived from animals.

 Avoid:

  • Unprotected exposure to the sun
  • Smoking
  • Skincare products containing chemical sunscreens, chemical preservatives, fragrance and colorants.

 Call your beauty salon/spa and arrange for a Dr Baumann Youthful You or Visible Lift Facial “spoil” or a Dr Baumann Firm Up body treatment.

APPLICATION TIPS: Anti-oxidant boost inside and out.

It is great providing your skin with anti-oxidants daily through your Dr Baumann Skincare, but for excellent results, Vitamins and minerals in your diet is essential for healthier skin.

Some nutritionists recommend taking antioxidant supplements, which principally contain Vitamins A, C and E, however, what about “juicing” for extra excitement!

Fresh fruit and vegetables are chock-full of nutrients, they zing straight into your bloodstream, revitalizing body and brain, making you feel and look fantastic.  Yes, they do take ten minutes or so to make but the benefits far outweigh the nuisance factor!  There are masses of wonderful combinations, so experiment: you really can’t go wrong.  One fruit to always remember is Watermelon, as it contain more antioxidants than any other fruit.

Combine your new anti-oxidant ‘juicing’ tips with the following:

  • Cleanse your skin twice, morning and evening, with your Dr Baumann Cleanser of choice.  Execute light circular movements, concentrating on congested areas.  Rinse, or wipe with a cloth or facial sponges.
  • Apply the Dr Baumann MultiActive Liposome E+C onto a clean face, morning and evening.  The Liposome will transport the high concentrations of Vitamin E and Vitamin C  deeper into the skin to protect and repair from environmental stressors.

APPLICATION TIPS: Protect against aging

Not so long ago, the only true turn-the-clock-back option was cosmetic surgery.  Drastic stuff.  But today, new and faster age-defying techniques are booming.  Liposomes, Nanosomes and Ceramides are all words that you want to hear when protecting against aging.  Dr Baumann Cosmetics has perfected the art of protection against aging, with the revolutionary Multilayer Liposome!  Usually Liposomes have a limited degree of penetration, although having 12 layers ensure delivery of essential nutrients and vitamins straight to the Basal layer!  Also Nanosomes can transport oily vitamins, such as Vitamin E to the Basal layer and beyond!  Ceramides strengthens the barrier function of the horny layer, which means  a dry, flaky skin works much more effectively.

Try this recipe for the best protection against aging:

  • Cleanse your skin twice, morning and evening, with your Dr Baumann Cleanser of choice.  Execute light circular movements, concentrating on congested areas.  Rinse, or wipe with a cloth or facial sponges.
  • Apply the Dr Baumann MultiActive Ceramide onto a clean face, morning and evening.  The Liposome will transport active ingredients deeper into the skin, while the Ceramides strengthen the barrier function of the upper layer of the skin.
  • Apply the Dr Baumann Sensitive Normal and Dry Skin Cream daily, morning and evening.  This Beautifully gentle cream contains Jojoba oil,  Vitamin E, Vitamin A, Provitamin B5, Urea and Lactic acid to protect without irritation.
  • Remember your chest!  Prevent lines and sagging of your breast by applying the Dr Baumann Decollete Special lotion, daily.  You can rest assured that no harmful ingredients can cause havoc in this area, only a great lift!

Liposome MultiActive Ceramid

In addition this product contains ceramides. The ceramides, together with the phospholipids of the liposomes, are important components of the intercellular substance between the skin cells, and display their effect in the upper layer of the skin. This strengthens the barrier function of the horny layer, which means a dry, flaky skin works much more effectively. Contains no essential oils, chamomile or tea tree oil.

APPLICATION TIPS: Regenerate

A young skin renews its surface layers every two to three weeks.  Over time, as we age and our skin experience sun, stress, pollution, poor diet and poor water intake, the cell turnover rate slows down causing the upper most layer of the skin to become thicker.  Old cells accumulate and stay on the surface longer and the flow of moisture slows down, resulting in a dull lifeless skin.

The secret is, to use skincare that will stimulate the skin regeneration without irritation.  Here’s how:

  • Cleanse the skin twice, morning and evening, with the Dr Baumann Cleansing Gel.  This rich but foamy emulsion removes impurities, while gently nourishing the skin with Macadamia Nut Oil.
  • Apply the BeauCaire Liposome Super onto a clean skin, morning and evening, to ensure a deeper penetration of active substances.  The additional Nanosomes assist in transporting oily vitamins such as Vitamin E and A to the Basal layer and beyond!
  • Apply 4 drops of the Vitamin A ampoule, morning and evening, prior to your cream.  Regular and consistent application of Vitamin A can regenerate damaged skin cells and boost the skin’s collagen concentration.

Cleansing Gel

A mild cleansing gel which contains very gentle cleansing substances. For anyone who prefers a foaming cleanser or wants to gently remove oiliness from the skin.

Create a spa experience for you and your partner at home:

A spa ambience sets the perfect scene for a valentine spoiling.  Use Rose or Vanilla fragranced candles and mood lighting in soft rose to indulge the senses.  Soft background music is a must.  (This should be both in the bath and bedroom area.)  Place large towels on the bed and scatter red rose petals on the towels.

Fill your bath tub with warm water and Rose petals and enjoy the relaxing experience together.  Don’t forget to add a few drops of the luxurious Dr Baumann SPA Rose Bath Oil.  It will help to de-stress and relax you.

OR

Shower with the Dr Baumann Shower and Bath Gel

After the bath or shower, spray on the Dr Baumann Rose Body Tonic (for her) Dr Baumann Orange Body Tonic or Dr Baumann Mint Body Tonic  for him (for a fresh vital feeling).

Retire to the bedroom having moisturized both your bodies with Dr Baumann Body Lotion

  Red hearts

  • Cleanse your face with Dr Baumann Cleansing Milk, and cleanse his with the Dr Baumann Cleansing Gel.  Both apply Dr Baumann Facial Toner followed by your favorite Dr Baumann Multi Active Liposome.  Suggestion for him Dr Baumann Multi Active Liposome Light, and for her Multi Active Liposome E+C.  Both apply the Dr Baumann Liposome Mask and leave on the face and neck for 15 minutes. 
  • Massage in gently for 5 minutes and tissue off any residue. 
  • Create a foot spa using 2 large bowls, and create a foam with the Dr Baumann Shower Gel, and both soak your feet.  It’s extremely relaxing. 
  • Remove hardened skin from under the feet with a Pumice Stone, peel your entire foot area with the Dr Baumann Peeling Medium and massage each others feet with Dr Baumann Foot Cream. 
  • Do the same routine for the hands, using Dr Baumann Hand Cream.

Then both just relax on the bed with a glass of red wine or champagne within easy reach, and enjoy the moment!

Happy Valentines Day.

APPLICATION TIPS: Gently does it...!

The temptation with oily and problematic/acne-prone skin is to strip away oil almost as fast as it’s produced.  But what happens is that oil production whirrs into overdrive, producing even more, to replace what you’ve swiped away!  

Re-balance your skin, the gentle way, with skin compatible ingredients.  Your skin will love you for it!

Follow these easy steps:

  • Cleanse your skin twice, morning and evening, with the Dr Baumann Cleansing Gel.  The foamy lather makes for easy rinsing, without the dry, pulling effect.
  • Follow with the Active Care Lotion.  This clever lotion contains liposomes for deeper penetration, and tea tree for a gentle anti-bacterial and drying effect.  The combination of the Liposomes and Tea Tree is the ideal treatment for problem skin!  Apply morning and evening onto a clean skin.
  • For extra love and care, apply the Zinc Cream, after the application of your Active Care lotion, and leave on the skin over night.  Zinc, with its gentle healing properties, will help to dry and banish blemishes fast!

Active Care

The ultimate treatment for pimple prone, impure skin. It treats the skin efficiently with clearly measurable results in both the lower levels of the epidermis and on the skin’s surface. Active Care contains valuable active ingredients in high concentrations such as tea tree oil, vitamin E, lecithin, zinc oxide and vitamin A. Active Care must be applied over the entire face (and décolleté if necessary), directly onto clean skin. Regular application of this product will ensure a dramatic improvement of impure problem skin (liposome material present in the lecithin allows for a deeper penetration of the epidermis).
