Ba-Zi for Business

BA-ZI HELPS YOU EVALUATE FUTURE BUSINESS RELATIONSHIPS

Ba-Zi readings are a tremendous asset to anyone interested in predicting and evaluating the success of potential business relationships. Are you interested in forming a new partnership and would like to know how well you and your potential partner will work together? Are you planning on hiring a new employee, but you dread the thought of sifting through stacks of resumes and then conducting scores of superficial job interviews? Are you choosing among a few valued employees for a promotion and you are confused about who will be best suited for the position? Ba-Zi is an excellent tool to help you make the right decisions for your business in all of these important areas.

The use of Ba-Zi readings is a smart addition to any business decision because they save an incredible amount of time and money when hiring new employees, promoting current employees or simply evaluating potential business relationships. Ba-Zi readings can help your business grow and prosper financially in two major ways:

Use Ba-Zi to Find the Perfect Business Partner

Forming a partnership, a venture, or an association with other people can be an exciting and rewarding time for any businessperson. These important relationships are often formed by friends and business colleagues who share similar goals and interests. Unfortunately for many partnerships, a seemingly perfect union often fails because the partners turn out to be incompatible as a business team.

* Partnerships Often Fail Because of Unforeseen Personality Conflicts
These business failures typically erupt over unanticipated financial disagreements and power struggles that occur after the partnership became too entrenched to dissolve without devastating consequences on each member. However, these irreconcilable differences can destroy lifelong friendships and business relationships that could have been saved with a little more advanced planning. Ba-Zi is a great device to help plan for and anticipate potential hurdles when forming a new partnership or business association.

* Example #1: Joe and Susan
Take the example of attorneys Joe and Susan. After spending more than four years together as young associates at the same law firm, the two decided to venture out on their own and form a partnership that specialized in civil law - an area where they both had vast experience. At first, it seemed like the perfect match. In the four years they knew each other, they had worked on several cases together and been very successful. Susan was an expert in personal injury litigation and Joe was an expert at medical malpractice. Their friendship was strong and seemingly unbreakable, and neither of them had any doubt that they would succeed. But, by the end of the first year together their business had virtually failed. Minor disputes over business decisions grew into a terrible struggle for management control that resulted in both friends filing lawsuits against each other. The resulting legal fees and toll on their firm drove the business into a downward spiral that ended with a bitter settlement and loss of their friendship. Where did it go wrong?

If the attorneys had simply obtained Ba-Zi readings before forming the partnership, their problems would have been easily predicted. The root of their eventual power struggle would have become clear because the Ba-Zi readings would have indicated that both partners were prone to be inflexible and rigid on decisions affecting money. They would have learned that each of them needed to be in control of management. By anticipating the very power struggle that developed, the partners could have drafted a better partnership agreement, or realized that they would simply not be compatible as business colleagues on decisions affecting firm management. Ba-Zi would have revealed that both attorneys were intelligent and logical, and therefore well suited to the area of law. However, the readings would have also uncovered that both attorneys were stubborn and power-driven which would likely result in a battle for control within their own business. Although they worked well together in the firm under the same leadership, they would not be good business partners.

Use Ba-Zi to Hire the Right Employee for the Job

* Hiring Employees Can Be Difficult and Risky Without Adequate Tools
Hiring new employees can be a daunting task for any employer. Reading over dozens of virtually identical resumes and cover letters hardly gives an employer a true picture of his or her interview candidates. Often, terrific employees are passed over because an employer did not have enough time or resources to thoroughly assess the strengths and weaknesses of the applicants. Once a group of potential employees is selected for the initial interview, it is difficult for an employer to spend enough time talking with each applicant to make an accurate assessment of his or her ability to fit into the company. All too often the employee who is finally selected ends up not working out for a variety of reasons like unforeseen personality conflicts and poor work habits. Trying to determine whether an employee will be the ideal employee for the job can be a frustrating and disappointing job for any employer. But, Ba-Zi can help you narrow the field by giving you a better insight into the applicant's personality, thought process and overall ability to "fit-in" with your company dynamic.

* Example #2: Frederick
Frederick is the owner of a growing graphic design company. When demand for his services became too great for his two-person staff to handle, he decided to hire another employee. He needed a loyal employee who was creative, worked well under pressure and would stay with the company for years to come. However, he dreaded the thought of going through the hiring process because he had previously spent days interviewing employee candidates, only to select a woman who quit after just two months on the job. This time, Frederick did not want to make the same mistakes, so he incorporated Ba-Zi readings into his hiring strategy to help him select the right employee for the job.

Frederick placed an advertisement in the local paper and the resumes started flooding his office. He narrowed the field to 20 applicants based on education and experience. He then invited the remaining applicants for a 15-minute interview. After conducting the interviews, he was able to narrow the field down to three candidates. All the candidates seemed to have equivalent credentials and experience in graphic-design. In fact, Ba-Zi revealed that each applicant was indeed both creative and passionate, and would be well suited for the graphic-design position. However, Ba-Zi also revealed that applicant #1 was more money-driven, and also suited to a leadership role. Since Frederick did not see much room for large financial gains and promotions in his small business, this employee would likely quit for a more lucrative position or become an entrepreneur. The Ba-Zi readings showed that applicant #2 would most likely be a suitable employee who had no problems with a static position, as long as he was using his creativity. However, the applicant was not best suited for bringing in new accounts and maintaining strong relationships with his clients. He was more of the shy, humble type who preferred to stay in the shadows. Finally, the readings revealed that applicant #3 would be the ideal applicant because he was creative and social, worked well under pressure and was most motivated by a challenging, artistic career rather than lucrative gains. Fortunately, Ba-Zi enabled Frederick to gain a more complete understanding of each candidate's character and personality before making the wrong decision. By using Ba-Zi readings, employers and business owners can decrease the time it takes to select quality employees and increase the likelihood that the new employees will be the best for the job.

Use Ba-Zi to Help Place Your Corporate Officers and Managers

Ba-Zi readings can be used as an additional tool to aid employers in the placement and promotion of managers and corporate officers. Ba-Zi increases the effectiveness of corporate personality tests and psychological profiles that aim to predict a person's compatibility in various work situations. Ba-Zi enhances these tests because it reveals specific personality traits about your employees and helps you place them in areas where they will thrive, and your business will benefit from utilizing the strengths of each employee. For instance, Ba-Zi can predict who will be a good leader, or who will be a good speaker. Ba-Zi readings consider numerous character traits to determine the best position for your employees. For instance, a reading can evaluate whether an employee is prone to be more logical or artistic, more flexible or stubborn, more intuitive or structured, more sociable or reclusive, or more of a follower or a leader. By using Ba-Zi readings to assess an employee's character and business personality, an employer can make a more accurate and complete determination of the employee's ability to work in a different area of the company, or his inherent ability to take on more responsibilities.

* Example #3: Victoria
Victoria is the CEO of a large computer software company. The company wanted to expand to the international market and hoped to promote an employee within the company who was already familiar with the business products. Victoria had to choose among five different managers who had each been with the company for about the same amount of time, and each had a good track record in their departments. However, the managers were always supervised and given specific goals to accomplish. She now needed someone who could work independently and help build up an international presence. The ideal applicant would be a great public speaker, an efficient manager who could delegate tasks with authority, and an innovator with the talent and intelligence to expand their company into unchartered territory. She had Ba-Zi readings done for each manger. Many areas of the readings helped confirm strengths and weaknesses in each candidate that she too noticed. However, the readings also revealed information about the candidates that she would not have otherwise known, such as the most loyal employees, those who may have problems in positions of power, and those who needed a structured work environment versus those who would take risks to make things happen. Victoria not only found the ideal employee for this position, but she used the Ba-Zi readings to ensure that those managers would be placed in the best positions for future promotions. The readings allowed the company to prosper as her employees flourished in areas where they could utilize their individual strengths.

Ba-Zi Readings are in the Future of Business As more people become familiar with Ba-Zi as a Chinese art that can predict the success and failure of business relationships, Ba-Zi is likely to become a popular asset for many businesses. Ba-Zi is a cost-effective tool because it saves countless hours of time that are often wasted on the training and retraining of various employees until a suitable match is found for a crucial position or partnership. Furthermore, Ba-Zi allows for confidentiality since the names of the applicants are unnecessary. Only the applicant's age, sex, birth date and time of birth are needed for an accurate Ba-Zi reading. The right employees and partners comprise a great part of the crucial relationships that we need to ensure happiness and success in our daily lives. Ba-Zi can help you find them.
