One should listen and be respectful to others ……. one is never always right.
Is it the PROBLEM or is it YOU ?
Negative competition
How sad can this be ?
Never “negative sell”. Win on your merits is better than selling yr competitor’s weakness.
Time will determine the truth ..
Social media
It is shocking to learn that TODAY, people are still “liking” and supporting their friend’s posting without really reading or understanding the content of the author.
Can one really claim ignorance ? Or is one innocently naive ? Or is it sheer blind idolism ?
Where is the sincerity and maturity when one supports someone without even understanding what is written.
Perhaps this is where charismatic extremist can influence their followers to commit harm on to others in the name of religion (or race) and potray the role of a victimized party living in fear, in search for freedom to a better future ?
I urge these people to wake up and stop this blind worshiping.
When confronted, excuses and denials are mere words of hypocrysy and lies.
And when asked for reasons, one simply gives the excuse of misintrepretation ?
Well only GOD knows.
Be sincere. Know who you are. Know what you want.
Commit to the cause of the environment you belong to. Otherwise leave the environment and stop being a hypocrite. No one is forcing you to suffer nor pretend to be who you are not.
You are actually FREE. It is YOU who is trapping yourself and giving yourself excuses of being an injured puppy.
Managers, Give More Praise Than You Think You Should
It’s one of the toughest jobs of a manager: giving feedback. Many bosses find it stressful and difficult — but that may be because they are focused on offering criticism and correcting mistakes when they should be providing positive feedback. In fact, recent research shows that people see leaders as more effective when they give praise. Whatever is holding you back from offering compliments (Is it a desire to be seen as tough? A fear that the employee will start to coast?), get over it.
Proactively develop your skills in giving praise. It’s OK if the praise is brief — it just needs to be specific, rather than a general remark of “good job,” and ideally it should occur soon after whatever you’re praising the person for. And, of course, it’s best when the compliment is sincere and heartfelt.
Willie says :-
” Be careful though. Be fair to everyone. Be objective. Avoid favoritism. It is also common that MANAGERS tend to be “kinder” to certain individuals or groups and harsher to others “.
Based your praise on facts, historical progression and the complexity of each respective person/group’s task ; and NOT on paradigms or subjective evaluations due to your own weakness (as a leader) of being influenced by a subordinate who is closer to you than those who are not. “
Scapegoat
A scapegoat is a person or animal which takes on the sins of others or is unfairly blamed for problems or failures of others. The concept originally comes from Leviticus (the third book of the Jewish Bible and of the Old Testament) in which a goat is designated to be cast into the desert with the sins of the community. Other ancient societies had similar practices.
After all these years and as far back as history could be told, isn’t it sad that scapegoating still exists today in politics and in management !!
Due admiration goes to LEADERS who take equal blame with his team versus those who finger point failures to others.
Are you guilty of scape-goating ? Seek the answers from your heart.
