Most Business and Life Issues Are People Issues
In today's multi tasking environment, it is really easy to lose
sight of the basics. Most Business and Life issues are directly correlated to
people issues. If you want to have a better life and better business, take a
good look at the people in your life and in your business. Understand their
issues and help them fix these issues. By taking care of your people, by
training and leading your people, then and only then you will see a dynamic
shift in your life and in your business.
If People can not do something there are
two reasons behind it. a) They don't know how, this is easy train and teaches
them they will do it. b) They don't want to do it. Now if they don't want to do
it there are two reasons behind that. a) They don't care this is an attitude
issues, b)They belief strong enough not to do it, this is a value issue.
Attitude: Most problems in business and
life are attitude problems. Attitude is an assessment of situation based on
internal resources and external consequences to deal with the situation. Now a
person's attitude is shaped by her/his model of the world, her/his constant
environment her/his associations and learning. You can not fix an attitude you
can only influence it.
Now Most trainer will teach you what to
do, I am here to say " WHY DON'T YOU?" In toady's information
saturated environment, everyone knows what to do or at least find ways to do
something. My job here is to ask you if you know what to do then
" WHY DON'T YOU DO, WHAT YOU ALREADY
KNOW?", now if you don't know what to do why don't you do something about
it?
Motivation: You see we can not motivate
people? Why? Because to be motivated is an action, we can not make people act,
only they have the freedom and the choice to do so, however what we can do is
to inspire. Motivated action will not be consistent, it will die as soon as the
motivating factor is diminished and gone. Inspiration is a thought that is
turned on inside a person, inspiration is thinking, when you change your
thinking you are changing your neural pathways, a psychical change happens in
mind when we are in inspired state, this will change our actions and behaviors
and ultimately our character and our destiny.
Communication: You see why do people get
unmotivated? Because the motivating factor is no longer there. Lack of
motivation comes from poor communication with self and others.
The IT industry has made people
communicate faster and faster, however if we don't know what to communicate
then we miss communicate faster and in a larger scale. So what is your message
to the world? What do you want to accomplish through your message?
Self Esteem: The other issue with people
is self esteem, the world is struggling with self esteem and confidence.
Positive self esteem results in positive results. Negative self esteem relates
to EGO. Have you seen a human being get happy when another gets into trouble, I
know I am trying to stretch your imagination here, however have you seen one
human being put down another, I am sure you know at least one such person. It
is because those who put down others can not left themselves up so they want to
pull down others, hence they feel secure and better about themselves. Now have
you seen someone that regardless of what you say and how you say it, they get
hurt? This is because they have fragile ego as a child they were not given
enough to work with emotionally. But we were all children at a time and we
still are. Genuine praise, acknowledgement, rewards and positive attitude
towards others will left everyone up, think about it, if you want to be the
bigger person.
Interpersonal issues: Now if you have
mastered the area of communication, I congratulate you, however I am going to
be a little wild and guess that we do not always connect to people on an
interpersonal level, that we do not get across to people and people have
difficulty getting across to us, this leads to lost opportunity,
miscommunication, and lack. Secret is people work and meet with those whom they
feel comfortable with. How do you achieve comfort? By being genuine, interested
and responsive.
Goals: Goals on the other hand are
creating your future in advance. We like to have holistic approach to goals. We
can not set a goal and forget about it, it is like forgetting about your kids'
and family's future! Is that what you really want to do? Therefore it is the
goals that inspire us to act and why not be inspired everyday and check with
our goals daily. Now if we don't get inspired by our goals it means that we
have impotent goals we have to go back and make sure that our goals are aligned
with the person who we really want to be. If the person we really want to be is
the person that we don't see in the mirror; now that is an inspiration to act
now and change our course of actions, and re-evaluate our core values to realize
what is it that we really want and why?. Once you answer this core value
question you will be aligned with your goals and will take steps towards their
attainment.
Leadership: There are no neutral leaders
you are either a positive or a negative leader. Good leaders teach others to
become leaders, bad leaders confine people to be follower, because they are
insecure.
Vision: is seen the ability to see the
invisible and make the invisible real. What we see as Visible is the result of
actions, and actions are the epiphenomenon of our thoughts that are invisible.
When you see through a vision to completion you break the barrier of time and
space altogether and no great discovery has occurred without a great strength
of a clear vision.
Values: Our credibility decides our
profitability, we must develop values not because of profitability rather
because we BELIEF in them. Regardless of people watching or not watching we do
what is right regardless of how hard it may be.
Character vs Reputation: Reputation is a
subjective inventory that others hold true for us. It may be real to the
observer, however it may all be based on a faulty premise. We may have a good
reputation, but that is a subjective reflection, more importantly an objective
view of the person is his character. It is being honest not for the sake of
being watched or to build a reputation, it is because we belief in real and
true honesty. People with honest character they are honest for the right
reason, people who just seek good reputation they may be honest only
conditionally. It is the unconditional love and honesty and truth that inspires
and generates great power. The world is in need of more character not just
inflated persona.
Time: Have you heard of the people say
time comes and goes, time flew, time is running out etc? These statements are
nothing but furthest from the truth. The fact remains that time is an eternity
it neither comes nor goes, it was here before we got here and will be here long
after we are gone, it is neither flying nor running. Time is eternity, it stays
only we come and go. Time is not a substrate of us we are a glimpse in the
realm of eternity. Therefore we can not manage time we can only manage our destinations
in relation to time.
Hence we need to plant the right seed for
the season of our existence.
Thought = Actions = Habits = Character =
Destiny
It is obvious that the campus of our
destiny is our thought patterns. In the season of life you have only one job
that is to sow the right seeds of thought in your mind.
