SELF IMPROVEMENT AND MOTIVATION

Employers seek loyalty and dedication from their employees but sometimes fail to return their half of the equation, leaving millennial workers feeling left behind and unsupported. Professional relationships are built on trust and commitment, and working for a boss that supports you is vital to professional and company success. Employees who believe their company cares for them perform better. What value does an employer place on you as an employee? Are you there to get the job done and go home? Are you paid fairly, well-trained and confident in your job security? Do you work under good job conditions? Do you receive constructive feedback, or do you feel demeaned or invisible? When millennial employees feel supported by their boss, their happiness on the job soars — and so does company success. Building a healthy relationship involves the efforts of both parties — boss and employee — and the result not only improves company success, but also the quality of policies, feedback and work cu...

"Loyal employees are the company's best asset." Richard Branson Loyal employees have the passion for the company to do well. They care about the clients. They care about the team. Yet, loyal people are often mistreated. 1) Many bosses think that loyal employees are not going anywhere because they are loyal. Therefore, they do not need a raise or a promotion. Big mistake - do not push the loyal people to the point where they no longer care. 2) These bosses assign to loyal people work that nobody else wants to do. Loyalty needs to be rewarded, not taken advantage of. 3) Loyal people tell management what management needs to hear, not necessarily what it wants to hear. Some misguided bosses punish honesty. They forget that managers who punish honesty will be eventually surrounded by people who tell them lies. Never punish loyal people for telling the truth! Loyalty and passion need to be cherished, protected and rewarded Agree ?

Yes, there are many possible reasons why a person may choose to quit his or her job. There could be another job offer. They may be starting up their own business. They could be going back to school. They could be going out and seeing the world. They could be opting to focus on their family. It could be a change in priorities, circumstances, or even health reasons. Or maybe...they may simply care too much for the organization they are resigning from. Ironic isn't it? That sometimes the ones who resign are the ones who may actually care for the organization they resigned from the most. But it's true...and it probably happens more often than you think. All organizations have problems - that's a given. But it's how these problems are handled which makes all the difference. More often than not, organizations are indeed aware of the problems they have - if they're any good at what they do, how can they not be? That being said, there are marked differences in how a lot of ...

More than 50% of new managers fail within 18 months, according to a study published in Inc.com. One third of executives in Fortune 500 companies do not make it past 3 years. The main reason - they drive away key personnel. 2 out of every 3 people who quit cite lack of appreciation - according to Forbes.com "People do not leave bad jobs. They leave bad managers." According to Harvard Business Review - treating employees like commodities is even more common now than ever before. For as long as we treat employees like commodities, as a means to an end, we will never get their loyalty. Everyone wants loyal employees, but not everyone is willing to do what it takes to earn their loyalty. It all starts at the hiring process - whether candidates are treated with respect then. --- A recruiter called me once and said that he knows that I have been looking for some time for someone with a rare skill, and that he has someone with that skill. He said he will not charge his recruitment fe...

Though I've been studying happiness for years, some of my most important learnings came from my own experience. There is much scientific research to back these up, but the only way to test them is to give them a shot. Check out three important tips for how to be happier: 1. Stop chasing BIG HAPPINESS Many of us may think that big life events -- getting married, having kids, moving to a big house -- or achievements -- getting a promotion or a raise, finishing a marathon, losing 10 pounds -- are what will result in us feeling happier. But research shows that it's the small, everyday events that have a far greater impact on how happy we feel. Pausing to savor something that is already part of your life is one of the best daily practices you can adopt to improve your mood and live with a more positive attitude. 2. Make everyday routines a tiny bit more special I juggle running a start-up with being a husband to a very active wife and my 2 dogs, so I get what it’s like to be really ...

What authentic people do differently than the rest of us, and how you can too  We tend to value "genuine" people and think poorly of those whom we perceive as being "fake"—but why is that? After all, what motivates "fakeness" is an effort to appear more appealing or impressive, so shouldn’t we find people who care about our opinions more appealing than those who, by definition, do their own thing regardless of what we think? Well, no, we shouldn’t—and for three basic reasons: We are much more likely to trust a genuine person than a fake one because we believe those who are true to themselves are also likely to be truer and more honest with  us . We often associate genuineness with appealing traits, such as strength of character and emotional  resilience —and correctly so, as being true to yourself takes  confidence , tenacity, and often even bravery.  We are attracted to uniqueness and individuality, qualities genuine people usually have in spades...

Always do your best......speak your truth. There are times in our lives that we connect with someone who encourages us, who invites the best in us to come back to life, and who most importantly gives us an opportunity to speak our truth. We all have things that we know about ourselves, about the people we spend our days with, and about our world that we don't acknowledge often enough. This knowledge is kept quietly packed away just beneath our consciousness so that we feel and experience the gap between what we know and what we say. These gaps are the cracks in our ability to take what we know and to use it towards making things better. After all if you know something, and you know it isn't right, and you don't speak about it, then you are a part of the problem. We are conditioned to think that we need to just accept things as "part of life" but dishonesty is not something that you should accept in your life. After all if you can see how things could be better, if...
