Work,Promotions and Politics -What Not At Work!!! -Luciano The Key Santini--SSDE

Good morning everyone and thank you for allowing me to be part of your life. Life is and can be a funny thing at times. We are challenged every day and we will always continue to face challenges each and everyday simply because that is life. I believe life would be pretty boring if we did not have the challenges we face each day whether at home or work. The thing is that we must have the right attitude and create a positive one to takes through the rough times in life.

I will ask all those who read my blog as a business owner or a manager it really does not matter who you are but the answer will matter much in my continued research on the subject of leadership;

In a well-managed business, all promotions are self-made. The employer’s only part in the transaction is to check carefully to make sure the promotion was earned. The question is how many time do people get promoted in organizations and all staff roll their eyes way into the back of their heads and say-here we go again.

I find that there is a science and a formula to really and truly destroy the morale in an organization and that is The perfect formula for destroying morale in any organization is to create a working environment that leads employees to believe that the only way to get ahead is by playing politics. The best-managed businesses are those in which every promotion is earned and every qualified person has an equal opportunity to compete for it.

 If you’re a manager, weigh all decisions involving your employees on the basis of fairness. And if you aspire to be a manager, choose to work for a company that is fair in its treatment of workers. When you’ve earned your position through skill and effectiveness, you have the best job security.

Sound character is our greatest asset because it provides the power with which we may ride the emergencies of life instead of going down under them.
Without Positive Mental Attitude, life might be described as long periods of uncertainty punctuated by occasional emergencies that shake you to the very core of your being. The emergencies may be financial, personal, or health related, but each must be dealt with separately and swiftly. The surest way to deal with any crisis is to focus on solutions, not on the probable cause of the problem or who should be blamed for it. 

Conduct a quick damage assessment, take the time to think through the alternatives and their consequences, and then act to implement the best solution. If you deal with life’s emergencies as they occur — on your own terms — you will be a stronger, better person for having looked them in the eye and conquered them. 

How about at work? I know that sometimes facing issues or conflict can be pretty taunting with some people.

Conflict will happen when you work with people each and every day simply because of the differences we all have. It could be because we call come from different backgrounds or different cultures and we do not have an understanding of that individual.

As a leader on Leadership and Organizational Psychology I can tell you that most people focus on the persons personality instead of the behavior thus for will cause issues because they are to focused on the person and not the event or behavior so say there is an issue state something like next time when this happens and not when you do this! the latter becomes the perspective of someone telling an adult not to do like one would a child thus condescending causing conflict.

Begin with the importance of the issue  and focus on the future and create a plan of action to resolve the conflict.The most important hing to try to accomplish is to keep or create a collaborative attitude of lets make this work.

What about a contingency planning?

First of all what is this plan well it is a  backup plan, activated in the event of a disaster that disrupts a company's production and puts employees in danger. The goal of the plan is to safeguard data, minimize disruption and keep everyone as safe as possible. A company may never have occasion to use a contingency plan, but it is important to have one, keep it updated and train employees what to do if the need arises.You know the old saying if you fail to plan the you are planning to fail.

Minimizes Loss

When a business experiences a disruption, whether it is a power outage or a natural disaster, a contingency plan helps minimize the loss of production. A contingency plan may consist of rerouting data, emergency generators for power, escape routes for employees and supervisory duties for contingency team members. Plans to get production up and running in spite of unforeseen circumstances can be the difference between a company that survives a disaster and one that folds. 

There may be a cost associated with devising a contingency plan and maintaining it, but when measured against the cost of production loss, it will be minimal.

Good communication and leadership skills are essential if you want to be a productive, effective manager. It’s not enough to be knowledgeable about what you do; you must also be able to share your knowledge with the people you manage. Developing your communication and management skills will help ensure that you are providing the type of leadership your employees need to help them succeed.
