Management and how it has changed over the years

Good morning my friends and how are we doing this beautiful Saturday.It has been a wild ride for so many people that have been living through this economic roller coaster. 


Faith is a combination of thoughts and actions.

When you apply your faith in yourself, your faith in your fellow man, and your faith in God, the result is a positive course of action that when persistently followed will almost always lead to success. When you believe in your ideas and in your abilities, and you trust in the Infinite Intelligence of the universe, you know that your thoughts and deeds will ultimately lead to a successful conclusion. You cannot fail. 

Let us talk about management and how it has changed over the years. I have had many conversations with managers from different industries and I have to say the stories they have told me have made me cringe and laugh at the same time.



The job of a supervisor or manager is to create an environment that brings the best out of your employees. The best managers to be honest with you believe me the top managers above the lower level ones know who is good at their job and perhaps sometimes they will not admit to themselves for whatever selfish reasons they may have but who cares!! As long as you do your job well.

 These managers should utilize and let them solve their issues. You should allow your people to open up their minds and teach them how to find solutions on their own and once you allow them to do so they will flourish.





How  and when do you encourage people? When you are a true leader and I am not talking  about a manager, I am talking leader and leading. If you are a true leader then your job should be to assure your lower level managers and staff members that their energy is placed in the right direction to assist your organization  achieve the goals.


Today’s top level managers simply must absolutely be great leaders and the truth is that they are not most of them were placed in their positions because they have been with an organization for many years and well hello!! they hinder other to achieve.




What are true management skills simply put find a way to get the job done and sometimes you have to bypass the BS and red tape which means trying to make others feel important or make them feel useful although they are useless in the process of getting the job done!!!


How many of you out there have dealt with this kind of management COMMON BE HONEST with yourself!!!

Raising the bar is something many organizations must do regarding the standards work ethics that are accepted. Too many so called leaders  enable mediocrity.

I’ve seen many organizations and their leaders who believe they know and understand operations avoid trying to raise the bar on standards out of the fear of his or her inability  to teach or train their staff appropriately to rise to the new standards.

Leave me your comments.

"Life Is What You Make Of It"-Luciano The Key Santini

Hello my friends and how are you doing this beautiful Saturday morning. As for me well guess what making the move to Northern California Santa Barbara County where the weather is cooler and a better quality of life I hope YAY!!! Life is beautiful, I just believe that people in general make if difficult when they believe that they cannot change it when in fact they can at any point they choose to do so.

Well back to business and as a coach I am all about Heart. I love engaging people in general whenever I get a chance, and I find great reward in supporting the people around me as I move through making the change  in whatever solution is needed.  As a  Visionary, I am always looking forward to an inspiring future. 

I seem to have found a gift for seeing opportunity and planning for new situations, and I tend to get excited about what lies on the other side of a change.

I see change coming into my life and that is to help businesses in need that perhaps have never asked for assistance because they were embarrassed for whatever reason and to you my friends and future clients I say be who you are be yourself and just invite me for a cup of hot strong coffee and you will have my attention and we can talk about the future.

Last week I had the opportunity to meet the Mayor of Santa Barbara Helene Schneider a very strong woman whom I have the highest respect for. Helene is all about change and bringing new ideas to to her city of Santa Barbara. I want to say thank you to her for taking the time from her busy schedule to stop by and say hello.

 

As a Facilitator, I focus on the specific needs of individuals and specific activities they need to support their day-to-day routines  to lead the change. I know the tasks that need to be accomplished to make measurable progress, and for you to succeed to reach your goals and dreams.

  
 There is always a shortage of people who get the job done on time without excuses or grumbling.

If you really study those who have reached the top of any organization, you will find that they are the people who cheerfully accept challenges, take the initiative, and get the job done. They don’t complain, and they don’t make excuses. Those who never get anywhere in their jobs and careers can’t seem to understand that achievers don’t become achievers after they reach the top. They reached the top because of the way they conducted themselves along the way.

You can easily become one of those individuals who regularly advance in the organization — if you are willing to pay the price. Any good manager will tell you that the type of people who are most in demand are those who can think for themselves, who will take the initiative to do the right thing without being told, and who will stick to the job until it is finished. You can be one of those people if you choose to be. 

Check out this short little video and do not be shy to call me I am here to provide the solutions you need:I have to tell you one of my secrets and that is that everything and I mean every ting whether it is about life or a problem or a project it all fascinates me because I always want to learn something new or try something new!!.

What Kind Of World Do We Live In


Hello my friends and what a beautiful Saturday morning. I believe that life is an adventure and every day is a blessing from all sides of the world and our minds well that is one powerful tool. The mind is one giant muscle because .the more you use it the stronger it becomes.

The other night I fell to sleep and had this strange dream about life,yes it was about my life. I am still picking it apart to find the meaning but so far my only ideal solution that somehow the dream meant to better be prepared: Let me explain. Perhaps just perhaps you have been through a similar situation.

In this dream I met a mentor of mine and he stated to me that I must prepare for this great speech I was to make in a coliseum with perhaps ten thousand people. In this dream I was in a dream in other words a dream within a dream. I woke up in the dream within my dream and started to laugh and stated to myself yea sure ten thousand people OK!!!


Then I find myself sitting in the crowed in the coliseum where I am supposed to speak and I was wearing shorts and a T-shirt!!. I stood up and Zig Ziglar was speaking and as I was walking out to the door I picked up the announcement and list of speakers and guess what my name was in capital letters and gold as the main speaker on life. I ran out the door with paper in hand and I was now walking with my suit and tie over my shoulder to the hotel room.


I placed my clothes neatly on the bed and walked out to see more of the coliseum and suddenly realized that I had half an hour to get ready and be at the podium to speak. I rushed back to the hotel and could not find my room and though I am not a person to panic ever I found myself in a frantic panic. 


I could not find the room so I made the choice to go ahead and look like a fool and get up there in front of the audience in shorts and a T-shirt . On my way up there I totally forgot what my speech was all about.

 I run into my son Quentin and he says ( Dad I have been looking for you and they just called your name and why did you not change) I looked at him and smiled and said Son I have no idea and on top of that I have no idea what my speech was all about) He said WOW DAD! what kind of world do we live in!!


 I said you are a genius that is my speech What kind of world do we live in!! I made my speech on that and then I woke up.


Well my friends in life we will have and face challenges at times that are unexpected and this is a crazy world we live in: High unemployment-Young kids dying and killing themselves families falling apart what a world!!

I guess the moral of this dream is to be prepared at all times for whatever comes your way and deal with the issue at hand and with the truth in mind you will come to a solution and feel like a million bucks doing it. Sometimes we will make fools of ourselves


My son in the dream has always been an inspiration to me ever since he was a child and now as he is growing up I want to be his.Life! what a crazy world we live in!!


Our youth incarcerate why must it be this way when there is always a solution to avoid it. I speak to them from the heart and they understand me and I understand them. Their face of disgust and pain and shame you can see and feel it but if one can come up to me and ask me to help them find that solution to change then guess what I have done my job!!


I have a dream too! To be able to change the world one mind at a time!!!

My friends who own businesses guess what you too will face many challenges may it be in marketing, management, customer service issues, staff issues and guess what there is always a solution for your problems as well: So look me up for your personal needs or your business needs and I am here to serve you that is my business:
