Suggest You - The Sign of a Great Leader - Consideration of Others
I was introduced to the concept of “Thank you notes” when I was about five years old. My teenage cousin just presented me with a coveted new birthday present – a soft, cuddly, gray and white teddy bear. I was overjoyed receiving this bundle of joy but my cousin, who could not attend my birthday party, was unaware of the unbridled happiness stemming from her gift.My grandmother – someone who could have taken over the reigns for “Ms. Manners” – soon afterwards advised me to write a thank you note. I inquired, “Can I call my cousin on the phone to thank her”?

The stresses of long working days are getting to Australian employees, with 25% saying they would like a plug-and-play room at work in order to partake in a bit of escapism during the work-day, A further 25% say they would like to see the introduction of a meditation room in the office in order to bring a bit of peace and balance back to their life. (1731 respondents to a survey by Australian human resources recruitment firm, Talent2).I’m all for anything that eases workplace stress and makes life at work more enjoyable. It’s also good to see the emphasis on
If all our associates were great sales people, who would handle finance, marketing, technology or human resources? As considerate leaders we have to look to the innate value of each associate or else our turn over rate will be greater than a fast food restaurant.
In the Bible, Jesus describes the church as a human body – lots of different parts all working together for greater success.
As an associate – there’s nothing worse than going to work everyday, dreading the experience. Certainly you’ve had jobs where you just didn’t feel successful and the hours would drag, right?

Change is the law of life.― John F. KennedyAn emergency room (ER) nurse kept hearing complaints from patients who had been waiting for hours to see a doctor. After reading The 2,000 Percent Solution, she began to keep track of how long it took various kinds of patients to get the attention they needed. She was shocked to find that those who were too sick or injured to explain their problems but who appeared to be okay sometimes waited for more than 10 hours ― even if they needed immediate treatment. This nurse shared her concerns with the o

Have you ever come back from vacation, or from a business trip of more than a few days, to find an overstuffed e-mailbox containing a blow-by-blow account of everything that happened while you were away? E-mail overload at its worst!You know the kind of thing I mean: long e-mail threads with contributions from everyone in the department, each copying everyone else and many leading off into side threads and involving even more people. You have to read the whole thing just to know what's going on, and to see whether there's something you need to do.This

Look at all the most successful athletes and business people, they ALL have coaches. So what does that tell you? Well, for one thing, stop being so darn independent!Ever since childhood we were taught in school to NEVER look at another student's test or discuss how to solve a problem. Sure there are times when you worked together when working on fun kid projects in the classroom and singing "Yankee doodle" together, but for the most part they wanted us to think for ourselves.Unfortunately that's not how the real world works if you want to be a succe

If you have ever simply watched people at work you will find that many often come in late or miss work entirely for days on end. We may be able to draw a connection in our reasoning that says all these people showing up 10 minutes late can add up to lots of lost revenue for the company. The problem is how to control attendance issues and still treat everyone fairly?A CCH study on unexcused absenteeism indicates that 83% of employers feel that unexcused absenteeism will continue to rise. The problem is that absenteeism costs have been growing which now range a
Think back to that experience. Could it have been a miserable situation because your job involved tasks for which you weren’t comfortable or felt well suited?
I once worked for the phone company in one of their phone stores and I loved it. I enjoyed helping people select their phone equipment and I felt successful. Circumstances in my life required I move to another city and I attempted to transfer to a sister company. I applied for what I thought was a customer service job. However, the day that I interviewed, they were interviewing for customer service representatives and cold call sales associates. The distinction between the two openings wasn’t made clear in the interview and I accepted a position that wasn’t what I’d applied for.
I very quickly learned that cold calling was not for me. I did everything I could to avoid
