Hello and good day to all my friends and follower who read my blog posts. I truly appreciate all of your feedback because it makes me a better writer and am able to bring important issues to light as I am going today. Today I am going to talk to you about disruption.
What is disruption? Well it is a disturbing word to begin with but also a life changing word depending on how you look at a situation;
tr.v.dis·rupt·ed, dis·rupt·ing, dis·rupts
1. To throw into confusion or disorder: Protesters disrupted the candidate's speech.
2. To interrupt or impede the progress, movement, or procedure of: Our efforts in the garden were disrupted by an early frost.
3. To break or burst; rupture.
Imagine you are in what you might think to be in the perfect business or the perfect job or the perfect situation and suddenly your boss throws a wrench into your perfect situation that is a disruption in your life,because now you have to make adjustments in your life and you have to make new adaptations to your daily routines and if you have a family they have to make the adaptations and the changes as well.
Read again the above because the other truth of the matter is that your boss will probably not care about the changes you have to make and guess what that is just the way it is.
This type of behavior is called changing someone life because you as the boss can make it so simply because you are in a position of power and there is some hidden benefit for them whatever that might be.
Let elaborate a bit more on this subject;
Managers regularly acquire and use
power. They do so deliberately and consciously as well as intuitively
and unconsciously. Power-oriented behavior has an impact on managerial
career progress, on job performance, on organizational effectiveness,
and on the personal lives of employees. It involves the combined topics
of power, influence, authority, and organizational politics. By John P. Kotter. AMACOM, 1979
What I have in bold is very important too understand because it really does impact people lives and though most manager do see it or they choose to look the other way and ignore it.
Let us say that you are this type of manager and you have a great relationship with another manager but you are at a higher level of manager and you make a change; The questions to ask are;
How will this impact me personally and they way I run my organization?
How will this impact our staff?
How will this hurt the relationship?
How will this change the persons life and his/her family?
When someone makes those type of choices for someone else and in all truth they can talk and gripe but will not be able to change it. You see you also have a choice and that choice is either make the change and adapt or move on, but if you love to do what you do then adapt and make the needed changes for you and your family.
In a business environment it is the same thing one cannot control the changes in the economy or who moves into our neighborhood meaning new businesses and so what do you do well the same thing adapt and make the needed changes that need to be made so that you can survive that simple.
These are called disruptions and so we as individuals must make the needed changes to be able to survive and in business you have to do the same thing make the changes and adaptations whether it means to hire someone with a new skill that you may need to make your customer service better then you do it.
"To Do The Right Thing Takes A Special Person To Do What Others Tell You To Do Is Easy Simply Because You Can Blame Them If It Does Not Work"--Luciano Santini
To throw into confusion or disorder: (Example)Protesters disrupted the candidate's speech. I like that to throw into confusion or disorder well this goes on and on all the time. Make the changes and adapt and it will pass my friends in both business and in your daily life.
There is something about truth that makes it easily recognizable by all who are searching for it with open minds.
Cookie mogul Wally Amos is fond of quoting the saying, “The mind is like a parachute. It functions best when opened.” When you open your mind to the possibilities, objectively analyze information, and refuse to allow your personal preferences and biases to influence your judgment, you will be able to perceive great truths that have been overlooked by others. A closed mind, though, will cause you to miss out on some of life’s greatest offerings. If you find yourself disputing the facts, or if you keep attempting to revise them to support your beliefs, ask yourself, “Why am I so unwilling to accept this information? Am I being logical, or am I simply allowing my emotions to cloud my judgment?” The worst mistake you may ever make is trying to persuade yourself to accept a false truth. It is inappropriate to try to fool others, but when you fool yourself, disaster is sure to follow.
