Have You Been Beating up the Boss?

Monday, May 31st, 2010

* Transcription

Thank God it’s Monday!™ I just read the statistic from Marshall Goldsmith, PhD in Organizational Behavior, that the average employee spends 15 hours each week complaining about his or her boss. Unbelievable! He thought it was unbelievable too, so he did his own research, looked it up, and found it to be TRUE!

So here’s a thought. Perhaps those same people could re-channel those 15 hours to something
productive!

Let’s hope THOSE people don’t include YOU. Think about it. Your boss KNOWS if you’re boss bashing. At some level, she really does know. Don’t kid yourself. AND, people who listen to you know you can’t be trusted because you’ll bash them. That’s not cool.

But worst of all, you’re cheating you! You will NEVER have a perfect boss. In fact, you certainly won’t make it to boss status because your unkind approach to conflict resolution isn’t going to work.

So why not start today by asking your boss for what you need and leaving others out of it? You’ll flatter him by showing you care. AND, you’ll be amazed how much better your job and life will go.

Have a great Monday!

Sticks and Stones

Monday, May 10th, 2010

* Transcription

Thank God it’s Monday!™ Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me. IF only that one were true. The worst words of all for most people is their self language. In fact, it is estimated that one word of self criticism is ten times more destructive than a negative word from someone else!

You may have already noticed that people who continually say bad things about themselves eventually come to believe those things.

So, watch your language… Stay away from sayings like:

  • I’m so stupid.
  • I’m fat.
  • I’m disorganized.
  • I’m not good at planning.

Instead, make it a habit to say nice things about yourself. Won’t it be fun to hear yourself say, whenever you have a success, “Gosh, that’s just like me to make good things happen out of bad situations.” Or “I’m so smart to have figured that out.” Or, “Wow, I rock at making strategies
happen.”

You MAY just come to believe all these good things because by reprogramming your unconscious
mind, you will in fact, change your patterns.

Let me start that for you… YOU ROCK!

Have a great Monday!

Love on Wheels

Monday, March 29th, 2010

* Transcription

Thank God it’s Monday!™ Are YOU love on wheels? Now, I KNOW you’re a little concerned, when you heard the title, about where this title is going. So, let’s just get started.

We’ve all met that person who is simply, “love on wheels.” He constantly shows he cares. She always goes above and beyond. He sees the possibilities in you. She sees you blew it and affirms
you with a, “I know you’ll get this. Don’t you give up.”

Love is a word that isn’t used much in business and I suspect business would go better if it was. When we choose to always do the loving thing, spread the joy, build up our team members, provide tough love at the appropriate times, we know that not only will our business go well, but life will go well too.

Know that every one of us is called to a higher place of going beyond transactions, to being transformative for our team members and our families.

Set the intention to think of yourself as “love on wheels”—going gracefully through life spreading
your pixie dust on those around you and making the world a better place.

Have a great Monday!

Massive, Corrective Action Plan

Monday, March 22nd, 2010

* Transcription

Thank God it’s Monday!™ Yep, you blew it. It happens to those of us who are mere mortals. We make mistakes… we miss deadlines… we just plain blow it sometimes. Contrary to popular belief, the next step after blowing it isn’t to wallow in guilt and shame.

The next step is to express heartfelt concern to those impacted, and to provide them with your “massive corrective action plan” to get the task back on track or to make sure it never happens again. When you recover with ease, grace, and gusto, you will be trusted, loved and held in high esteem by your team members and clients.

Nobody expects you to be perfect… but they do expect you to show that you care. So be prepared
with your massive corrective action plan next time something goes wrong.

Have a great Monday!
