Organization

There come many times when you feel as if you were in a whirlpool in spite of planning and thinking you have everything under control.

Managing a group of people is exciting as it churns out so many interactions between people and usually means doing many things for the first  time time, so we are always on edge.

As a result nervousness builds up and we lose our serenity.
This happens to me about five times a year, in fact.



So what can you do about it?

It may sound strange but getting away from everything for a while always helps. We are all different so it is impossible to state a precise amount of time needed for you to calm down.

I find that there is not one simple solution ever. But what always works is finding a quiet time to think, but it needs to be when I am ready for that quiet time.
It may be at 9 in the morning or 3 in the afternoon.

If you listen to your brain, it will tell you the answers, for sure.

Here is a short article for you to read. It is worth it.

How to Solve Problems with the Subconscious Mind

Working for what...?


Today, for some reason, just turned out to be a time for reflection. It has been a day to think back over where I have come from how I managed to get here today and write this.

Almost all of us are at the mercy of someone else: to be promoted, fired, given a raise... you name it.

So, what about it? 




It is worth thinking about and if you are lucky you will survive.
This is what happened to me:  I was offered a pretty good job and found out a year later that my boss had been thinking of firing me...but never discussed anything with me, in fact.
Logically, she had no management qualification and was directive in nature, stifling any creativity that the emplyees at the time had.
"Luckily" she left and a different kind of Director came in, but not so different.

Does a boss really know you well enough to take decisions that will change your life forever?

I am sure many of you have lived this situation or know someone who has. It is not surprising therefore those organisations that allow their employees to treat others unfairly, will eventually fail.




My advice?
