 Idea of the Month: Deserving

Most people think they deserve something if they worked hard for it, or if they want it very badly, or if they have the money to buy it. And often they use this "deserving" as a reason why someone else should give them something.

However, the only relevant factor in "'deserving" something is being able to appreciate it. if you can fully appreciate something, then you deserve it

I don't deserve a big TV-even though I could buy it-because I don't enjoy watching TV. Even if I bought it and saw it, I wouldn't really have it, because it would mean nothing to me. That would truly be casting "pearls before swine."

But if I can appreciate a painting, I deserve it because I respond to it and find it beautiful. And because I can appreciate it, I can truly have it fully, even when I can't buy it and own it.

If you want to deserve things, learn to appreciate them, and they will be yours.
 

Case of the Month:
Written Communication

How do you inform someone you're angry with him? E.g. because he didn't do something you expected him to do?

Well, you could try it by putting your judgement on paper, or by using profanity (such as "in stead of sitting lazy, …" or "you lying moron, you promised to do … ").

Surprise, surprise, … research has shown that such behavior is not really successful. It offends the receiver of the message and often the whole case escalates and gets out of control. Other alternatives with the same effect are known as character assassination: "While you have a constipation of the brain, …" and as use of absolutes: "Can you never do something right?"

Leadership is a Journey (article)

I think it would be arrogant of me to define the word leadership.  The truth is, I don’t really have a definition I can verbalize.  I don’t have a mantra that I repeat to myself daily, that I can share with you to give you inspiration.  The best I can do is share with you a couple of my core beliefs, some of the lessons I have learned along my leadership journey, and the brilliant words of others.  The compilation of my stories and the lessons I have learned is my definition of leadership.  These lessons build upon each other, so I should really start at the beginning.
 
In high school, I was involved in a myriad of leadership positions: ....

Strategic Planning
(in nonprofit or for-profit organizations)  (article)

Simply put, strategic planning determines where an organization is going over the next year or more, how it's going to get there and how it'll know if it got there or not. The focus of a strategic plan is usually on the entire organization, while the focus of a business plan is usually on a particular product, service or program.

There are a variety of perspectives, models and approaches used in strategic planning. The way that a strategic plan is developed depends on the nature of the organization's leadership, culture of the organization, complexity of the organization's environment, size of the organization, expertise of planners, etc. For example,  ...

 Effective delegation – it’s an art   (article)

most every business owner has too much to do and not enough time to do it in. But there is a solution - let your team members take some of the weight off your back by learning how to delegate effectively.

Are you taking work home every night? Do jobs pile up when you're not at work to do them? Do you feel that if you want a job done, you have to do it yourself?

Are you a manager who constantly complains of having too much to do and not enough time to do it in? Then you either need to start delegating, or if you’re already doing it, delegate effectively. ....

 HR Issues - X:Employees' Rights in the Workplace
 
(article)

I have been an employer advocate for over two decades. In order to assist, guide, and counsel employers, it is imperative that I know about the rights of the employee as well as the employer. Therefore, the reader should not find it odd that I can and often do address the rights of employees in the workplace nor should they wonder about my motives in answering e-mailed HR/ER questions.

Some have expressed a concern, but I assure you that I answer questions primarily to stay on top of issues which are important to employees, and to help employees find solutions to problems that they may be having. Keep in mind that ...
