Why doesn't she follow the steps in the process like they are meant to be followed? Why are so many mistakes made? Why do I have to follow up so much to make sure the work gets done?
Why don't they take responsibility for the whole job? People problems! I just don't understand!
I meet scores of people every day who just don't understand why things are the way they are. Being caught up in the activity of work and life, they find it hard to step back and analyze what is going on. Many people in positions of authority and supervision often lack the knowledge and skills to solve those people problems and they become extremely frustrated, perplexed, and often withdrawn.
Does this ring true for you?
The result is that there exist unmet needs of people in the organization, unsolved people issues, and unacceptable behaviors and attitudes that fester and grow more destructive each day. You can sense that these problems exist when competent people are frustrated, in perpetual conflict, and turnover is above normal for their departments.
These destructive effects are often caused by people who need a more in-depth understanding and development of competencies in the following areas:
1.Modeling effective and productive basic personal work, supervisory, management, and leadership skills 2.Using positive and uplifting attitudes (way of thinking) in all situations 3.Effective interactions with different personality types 4.Recognizing and developing the potential and greatness that people possess 5.Positive win-win-win resolution of conflict 6.Being accountable and holding people accountable 7.Providing effective and positive feedback 8.Coaching in positive ways for improved behaviors and performance 9.Communicating in an enabling and empowering way 10.Projecting a caring and genuine interest in people
There are ten items in this list. Rate yourself on how well you accomplish each item with a scale of 1 (very very poor) to 10 (absolutely magnificent).
How well did you do? Now, give this article to all the people who work for you and have them rate you. How well did you do?
If there is a gap, then there is some serious work to do. If the score is below 50, there is still some serious work to do. If you are 80 or above, you should be in charge of the organization and I'll work for you!
The real message in this article is this. If you feel insecure, have trouble understanding and working with people, have difficulty in some area of supervision, or are frustrated at the inability to effectively solve people issues, then it's time to look at yourself and ask, "What must I learn and what skill(s) must I develop to become a highly effective and productive person, supervisor, manager, and leader?"
If you are having a problem answering that question, then get a COACH and invest in your future. Who better to invest in than yourself? What better way to accelerate the development of your knowledge, understanding, and competencies?
What better way to develop more of your unlimited potential and realize more of your greatness? What better way to leverage the present to create a bigger and brighter future for yourself and your organization?
I am that kind of COACH, having helped hundreds of people in this way. Why not you? Contact me and find out what is possible.
How many times have you said to yourself that you just don't have the time to exercise? Don't feel bad; it's my favorite excuse as well. We all have busy lives and not much time for anything in our schedule. That's why I wanted to share some of my favorite ways to sneak some exercise into everyday activities with you.
Get Up Earlier
Did you know that you are much more likely to stick with any type of exercise program, if you do it in the morning? Makes sense, doesn't it. The day is new, and you haven't had a chance yet to get burned out from long meetings at the office or running around town all day. It's hard to get motivated to work out after a long day, so why not get it out of the way first thing in the morning?
Set your alarm to go off 20 ? 30 minutes earlier than usual and ride your exercise bike, go for a brisk walk through the neighborhood, or get an exercise tape and work out with it in the morning. Exercise is a great way to start your day and you'll feel energized throughout the rest of your day.
Walk During Commercial Breaks
You just settled down on the couch to watch your favorite TV show, and it goes to commercial. That's the perfect time to get in a little exercise. Just get up and march in place right in front of the TV until the commercial break is over. Doing this even just once or twice a day will start making a big difference. You can even wear a pedometer to get an idea for how much walking you get done during your favorite TV shows.
Once you get used to your commercial workout, step it up a notch by marching through the entire show. Now that's a workout! Plus you don't have to feel guilty about watching Desperate Housewives anymore instead of doing the dishes ? you're exercising.
Work On Your Abs While You Wait In Line
One of my least favorite things to do is to stand in line. Whether it's at the grocery store, the pharmacy or the DMV, it just seems like such a waist of time to just stand there and wait. That is unless you are working out at the same time. You can get a great abs workout standing in line and best of all, no one has to notice. Here's how you do it:
Stand up straight and suck in your stomach as hard as you can. Hold and count to ten before you release. Repeat. Each of these counts as one sit-up and is just as effective. Just imagine how many sit-ups you can do just while waiting in line each week.
Go For A Family Hike Or Bike Ride
Instead of just hanging out on the weekends, take the family for a hike or go on a bike ride. You get to spend some quality time with your family and get some great exercise at the same time.
If your life is as busy as mine, give a few of these exercise tips a try and see if you can't start to find time to work out a few times a week.
