Say it ?

If you prepare someone to become your next future leader, are you going to say to him/her that he/she is your future leaders? Do you tell them that they are potential? Some of my colleagues said that we shouldn’t do that. Since by doing this we give hope to them, make them “greedy” and so on and so on…

Well, I’m not quite agree with this opinion. It is true that when we do it wrong then all bad thing will arise, human is naturally full with ego. But if we do it correctly I think it is good. Motivation is provided externally and internally right? This is one of the most powerful internal motivations, so why don’t we use it? Emotional reward is strong.

I think that if we only one person then it is not good, because he will feel that no one compare to him and starts to become someone that we don’t wanted. So, 2-3 persons will be better. Remember how Jack Welch grooms his future leader? It is true that at the end he lost 2 of his most brilliant personnel because they loss, but well that the price you must pay for it right?

The other is that don’t promise anything, just said that they are good and they have the capabilities and potency to become a future leader. Don’t mess up external and internal motivation all together. External motivation is actually a nasty stuff; it could bring down all the internal motivation in the matter of second. So play nice with it, don’t promise anything, and just say that they are good and potential.

The last thing is that you must remember that their current position and future position are different. We are talking about the way they should think, act and behave. So don’t let them wondering around knowing nothing. They need you as their supervisor to coach them, make them learn about their future challenges. Don’t make them fail and moving from a star into a jerk just by letting them alone. Help them, and coach them.

Internal promotion

Yesterday I was telling one of our staff regarding an internal promotion that will be offered to her. You know what I am surprised how an internal promotion could bring so much happiness to someone. Well many books do write it down and make a good narration about it, but you know nothing is compare to experiencing it by yourself. The happy and cherish moment, hope that overflow around the room and all the joy shining from her face, nothing compare to this experience, none of the books. What she’s feel maybe I could not transferred it to you by this essay, but surely I could emphasized that internal promotion is good if you could manage it well. So, do as many internal promotion as you can to help yourself.

Recovery

Well, it’s recovery allright. Some of the problems are clear now, although still have to wait sometimes to make all the pain and sorrow gone. But surely God lead His way, everything is seems getting better. Thank you for all the hope and courage from all around me. Thanks Adel J

djsadhash$%#$#$%@%$bjbs.....DESPERATE AND NEED HELP !!!! :-(

I lied if I say that today is a great day….I have a terrible day since this couple days L

My mood is not good, something is pressing in my heart…aching and painful…I don’t know how to write it down, I don’t know to whom I could tell my problem, I don’t know, just don’t know. Let’s just hope that God will lead a way, will accompany me in this difficult time, a time when I feel so lonely, desperate and don’t have anybody beside me or whatsoever. This time is nasty, and tomorrow I think I will found another trouble at the office L. Just hoping that it will not going heavier each passing hours.

I’m sure God have a plan; just stick to it…just stick to it.

Here go again.....

After quite sometimes I have time to write again J. My business plan is done and it is quite relieved having finished that out. Now is Lebaran holiday, so I spend my time at home just hanging around and play game haha. However one of my staff is asking to resign late this November. It is a hard decision, it really is. He will resign to build his own business. Up to this moment it seems nice huh? But not when you already go through his plan, it is very risky. Although every business always have its own risk, but to let his job go and start this new business is really not making me comfortable. I really don’t want him to fail and make his family life harder. Well, let just pray that he’s considering any other options that currently available.

Trust and integrity

Do you ever wonder how easy trust is diminishing and how hard it is to get back? This couple day I lost my faith to one of my friend, and I found it so difficult to get it back. Even when I say on and on that I trust him, I trust him, I trust him..still the situations is not the same any longer. Don’t know how long do this problem will exist. But one thing I learn is that when you have trust from any of your colleagues or friend, don’t broke it just for a silly situations or conditions. Their trust is one thing that so valuable in this world, more valuable and is harder to get then a diamond or gold. Keep your integrity, keep their trust. Some of the coming day you shall see that it’s all worthed, it’s worthed then any single thing in the world….

Life is not easy...at all

Late this afternoon I hear a story about one of garbage-man (a man who collects garbage from one house to another). Do you think become a garbage-man is just as easy as become a garbage-man? Well that’s what I thought too just couple hours ago. But well, life is hard my friend…life is hard. To become a garbage-man (red: a man whose salary is so low that he even found a great amount of difficulty just to send his boy to public elementary school) he must give some of his revenue for each day to “centeng” (a man who ask for money without having a authority to do that). Just to get a small amount of money he must suffer from this kind of treatment.

When you say that life is easy, life is fun…think again my friend, there are so many people out there that found that life so so difficult. So my friend, if you thought that life is easy then share your easiness with others. But when you thought that your life is hard, you must admit that your life is easier compare to the garbage-man that I tell you previously right?

Enjoy your life today !!!!
