Add You - Make Your Best Decisions - Use Yes, and No, Very Wisely
Common sense at work: Such qualities as loyalty, energy, intelligence and hard work are certain to be in any consensus of what it takes to build a successful career.“However, there’s another essential ingredient that is too often overlooked,” says Ramon Greenwood, senior career counselor at www.CommonSenseAtWork.com> “That is having fun on the job.”In fact, most of us are downright ambivalent when it comes to the subject o
There is another win. If you offered help to someone and they accepted, how would you feel about it? You would feel a stronger bond to the person who accepted. It's nice to be wanted.
Offering support and having it accepted is a magnificent feeling. By being the one who says 'Yes' you show others that it's OK too. And others ask as well, and accept.
The team grows by development support generously given and gratefully accepted.
This repositioning of 'Yes' and 'No' works in business as well as at home. The simple examples shown here are snippets of what this change in your philosophy can create
Among business it is becoming more necessary to transport staff and clients between points of business for meetings and exhibitions. Today we are looking at the benefits of a corporate coach hire. As flight prices are reduced it looks to be the cheapest option to resort to airline companies as the cheapest option for luxury travel. Many advertisements offer reduced flight packages from major airports that can look attractive travel incentive
Like an on-off switch, we make one or the other - there are no variances to this. Because it's as simple as Yes or No - and so often we get it wrong.
You see it's those times that we say 'Yes', when it would serve us much better to say 'No' and we often say 'No' when there are real benefits in saying 'Yes'.
So, let's take a look at those situations we get ourselves into.
- Saying 'No' More
It is quite natural to say 'Yes'. We do it every day in our lives and it is the least confrontational thing we can do.
Agreeing to the wishes of others pampers to our inner need to be liked, to be loved.
Man is a social animal. We like to be liked by our peers - and so we go along with them.
In business this is no different. It is tough, for most of us, to say 'No'. So we agree - we comply. And with what consequences?
Saying 'Yes', way too often, leads us to complications we could do without. In the worst cases we take on tasks that others ask us to do, without question, which grinds us down, makes us bitter and generates a 'blame' culture.
We agree to things that others, maybe stronger, maybe just more thick-skinned, thrust at us.
Passing accountability to us, who say 'Yes'. Way too often.
One solution to this is simple. At least put off 'Yes' decisions some of the time.
By positive procrastination, we can put ourselves off making the wrong 'Yes' decision in haste - so make it tomorrow by coming up with a few 'let me think about it' phrases.
By training ourselves, on just a few occasions to start with, we build our strength to say 'No' a little more each day. People start to realise we aren't a pushover anymore.
Another solution, is to agree only on our terms. To say 'Yes' with a proviso. That a new ad-hoc piece of work can only be done if something else is dropped. Or on our timescale.
Pushing back on someone else's urgency helps them to realise that there needs to be a different way - and they gradually learn to treat you differently too. New 'boundaries' are set. And everyone wins.
And now the opposite!
- Accepting a 'Yes' is OK!
There is a converse to the saying 'Yes' too often problem.
Sometimes we don't say it enough. Maybe it's a British thing. Maybe our 'reserve' means that whatever happens, we can cope. We can manage. So that when people offer us help. Make a gesture, that we feel we 'shouldn't' accept it.
So we don't. And the problems pile up.
Listen up - accepting help, by saying 'Yes', everyone is a winner again. You win, because you accept help. You show that you are open to support and you model that it's OK - to the rest of your team.

“Example is not the main thing in influencing others. It is the only thing.” Albert Schweitzer1.You set the standard: Work as hard, or harder, than your employees. Be a role model when managing people. Strive to know more than your best employee (or best sales rep) about your product line, industry, and their jobs. This doesn’t mean you have to know everything. Still, educate yourself. I frequently hear in my seminars, “My boss has no id

A California background check is carried out by an employer for a number of reasons, though the major reason is probably the increase in the number of negligent hiring lawsuits being brought before the courts. However, employee screening in California has specific restrictions that all employers should be aware of.If an employee harms anybody in some way as result of their employment, and it can be shown that the employer could reasonabl

If you are involved in the selling of real estate, then your entire business depends upon your clientele. You want people to believe that they could not find or sell their homes without you. Before they can believe in you, they have to know about you. Sending cards via the mail to people randomly is a great way to build your roster of clients and will give you the opportunity to convince them of your worth.In order for a person involved
