Your Solutions Provider In life and In Business

Hello Everyone

 Thought I would say hello personally. Let us talk politics and business and let me hear your comments.

There is old saying that goes round and round in every business and it goes something like this; Politics I do understand politics very well  both in organizational aspect and of course as we all know it politics and candidates.

Never Ever  Ever Sleep with the enemy because sooner or later it shows up somewhere or someone will say something to someone and oh man can it get ugly.

It does not mean literally jumping into bed with the enemy,well sometimes I guess it literally means that. What it means is that one does not need to give up ones morals and ethics to get what one needs or want. 

When I see this happen many many times is when someone is desperate and is reaching out for the last resort and when that does not work simply because it was so predictable what that person or organization is doing then those individuals will just give up and end up loosing the battle. Many time not a pretty sight OOPS!!

It is important for you to realize that no lens, or perspective, is better than the others. I have had much experience with both private and non-profit organizations and have learned that the more perspectives that I was able to get from both staff and clients  about an issue in your organization, then I can create solutions much better and much more effective to address that issue.Integration comes to mind why is it so difficult for so many to make it work.

Often, the most difficult phase in managing change is this phase when leader's work to sustain the momentum of the implementation and adjustment of plans. Change efforts can encounter a wide variety of obstacles, for example, strong resistance from members of the organization, sudden departure of a key leader in the organization, or a dramatic reduction in sales.

 Strong, visible, ongoing support from top leadership is critically

important to show overall credibility and accountability in the change effort.Adapted from “Field Guide to Consulting and Organizational Development”This book was actually used in my business school really really good book.

One of the biggest mistakes is that when an organizations decided to change a system or go and try integration is that upper management treat their staff like children as if they know nothing and the reality is that they know more then upper management because upper management is so far off the trenches that they can only see the WHAT IF"S!!!! and not the truth HELLO!!! While not only treating staff like children but expecting them to act like adults WOW!! and guess what it happens all the time

 Faith

Faith is the element, the “chemical” which, when mixed with prayer, gives one direct communication with Infinite Intelligence.

I am talking about faith in the regular way most people believe in faith no! I am talking in having faith in your self.

What about believing in what you do and your will. What does having a strong will mean? Well lets take a look at what the dictionary says:

 Dictionary definitions of ‘will’ include: the faculty by which a person decides on and initiates action; exertion of control; making something happen by exertion of mental powers – as in, “he willed himself to…”
Synonyms are: resoluteness, doggedness, tenacity, and strength of character. 

There will be many many times when things just do not go your way and you quickly will either blame others for your failure or simply give up because OTHERS just did not pull their weight right. WRONG!! you see my friends we have to stand up and take responsibility for our actions and be accountable for the consequences yes that is correct be accountable for the consequences.

Business is like having a second wife or having an affair one must keep both away from each other or it will destroy your mind and everything in between. I apologize I use these metaphors to keep it real and simple to understand. I know there will be many out there that will cringe at this blog today but you know what? We need to be real about the world we live in and the we must be real to ourselves.

We can lie to the world and we can lie to ourselves as long as we do not start to believe our own lies because that will be the beginning of the end of any business.
