MESSAGE
FROM THE PRESIDENT |
|
|
|
 |
Ah, the Super Bowl
A fine American tradition. I love
football. I attended every
football game my high school team (the
Hirsch Huskies) played in and most of
the college games as well.
Last Sunday, I cheered and worried and
screamed. I was thrilled the
Arizona Cardinals were even in the Super
Bowl. (They've stunk for as long
as I've been in AZ.) |
|
|
Right
toward the end, it looked like they might bring
home the trophy, but alas! It was not meant to
be...this year. I have faith
though...2010!

LESSONS |

It seems everyone is
moving at the speed of light these days (except
unfortunately our economy). In the midst
of the hectic lives we lead, we sometimes
neglect the simple things that could help us get
where we want to go.
|
1. Find out what
other people want
You can inspire
and motivate people more easily if you
know what turns them on, what lights
their fire, what keeps them awake at
night. Don't be so frantic that
you forget this 'niceties' in dealing
with others. |
2. Explain the
'why'
It's important for people
to understand why you've asked them to do
something. Some managers are guilty of
just barking orders. But that leaves people
feeling like peons or cogs in a wheel.
You'll get more commitment to producing quality
work when people know that what they're doing
matters and why.
3. Take good care
of yourself
It's tempting to keep your
nose to the grindstone when there is so much
work to be done. However, it's critical
that you 'invest' time in taking care of
yourself. Make sure you get enough rest,
schedule time to workout, spend time with the
family, reward yourself when you've completed
something big.
Even if you're short on
cash, do something inexpensive to reward yourself.
Enjoy an ice cream cone, watch your favorite DVD
movie, exchange back rubs with a friend or
partner. Restore your spirit.
Take these lessons to
heart and take the struggle out of right from
the start!
