Life Insurance Guide

I’m going to beat so-and-so no matter what – I’m better than him. And there’s no way I’ll help him succeed. – he might beat me.

Problem: Competitiveness assumes that there is a small amount of gold to be had, and I need to get it before he does. It makes us into greedy, back-stabbing, hurtful people. We try to claw our way over people to get to success, because of our competitive feeling. For example, if blogger wants to have more subscriber than another blogger, he may never link to or mention that other blogger. However, who is to say that my subscriber can’t also be yours? People can read and subscribe to more than one blog.

Solution: Learn to see success as something that can be shared, and learn that if we help each other out, we can each have a better chance to be successful. Two people working towards a common goal are better than two people trying to beat each other up to get to that goal. There is abundance rather than scarcity.

Your work sucks. It’s super lame. You are moron and I hope you never reproduce.

Problem: I have actually gotten this comment before. It feels wonderful. However, let’s look at it not from the perspective of the person receiving this kind of comment but from the perspective of the person giving it. How does saying something negative like this help you? I guess it might feel good to vent if you feel like your time has been wasted. But really, how much of your time has been wasted? A few minutes, A few hours! And whose fault is that? The blogger or yours? In truth, making negative comments just keeps you in negative mindset. It’s also a good way make friends.

Solution: Learn to offer constructive solutions, first of all. Instead of telling someone their blog sucks, of that a post is lame, offer some specific suggestion for improvement. Help them get better. If you are going to take the time to make a comment, make it worth your time. Second, learn to interact with people in a more positive way – it makes others feel good and it make you feel better about yourself. And you can make some great friends this. That’s a good thing.

A positive attitude is like life insurance and only the first step in truly being able to get whatever you want in life. Positive people expect success, good health, happiness, wealth and good relationships and those things tend to show up in their lives. All .these are not covered in any Insurance policy. This is not because they are already successful, or because they are more confident and thus more outgoing, it is simply the attitude. Attitude is like insurance to your happiness. 

How to Engage Employees

--> One of today's hot topics is employee engagement.  Here are some excellent business reasons to get everyone working to their full potential: 

An employee's motivation is a direct result of the sum of interactions with his or her manager.Bob Nelson 

We were asked in Jan.2012 by one of our client to take in-depth look at employee engagement and to report on its potential benefits for both company and individual employees. The client encouraged us to examine in particular whether a wider take up of engagement approaches could impact positively.

In the course of last 24 months, we have seen where performances and profitability of the company have been transformed by the employee engagement program. We have witnessed in our studies which show a clear correlation between engagement and performance – and most importantly between improving engagement and improving performance. Today we are putting this practice in more than a dozen clients.

Engagement, going to the heart of the workplace relationship between employee and employer, can be a key to unlocking productivity and to transforming the working lives of many people for whom Monday morning is an especially low point of the week. 
Employee Engagement – What, why and how

How employees behave at work can make the crucial difference between business and operational success or failure along with enough cash, clear strategy is vital.

Engaged organisations have strong and authentic values, with clear evidence of trust and fairness based on mutual respect, where two way promises and commitments – between employers and staff – are understood, and are fulfilled.

What we thought simple at first turned out be tough task. There is not a single  agreed definition of employee engagement – during the course of this review we have come across more than many definitions; many of them rejected and some of them agreed. What we have learned there is no ‘one size fits all’ approach and no master model for successful.

These four enablers of engagement have proved to be useful lenses which can help organisations assess the effectiveness of their approaches.

Despite there being some debate about the precise meaning of employee engagement there are three things we know about it: it is measurable; it can be correlated with performance; and it varies from poor to great. Most importantly employers can do a great deal to impact on people’s level of engagement. That is what makes it so important, as a tool for business success. 

·     There is employee voice throughout the organisations, for reinforcing and challenging views, between functions and externally, employees are seen as central to the solution.

·     A positive attitude held by the employee towards the organisation and its values. An engaged employee is aware of the business context and works with colleagues to improve performance.

·     There is organisational integrity – the values on the wall are reflected in a day  behaviors. There is no ‘say-do’ gap.

·     In particular, engagement is two way; organisations must work to engage the employee who in turn has a choice about the level of engagement to offer the employer. Each reinforces the other.
