10 Reasons why people leave their jobs

-
  1. You failed to unleash their potential – smart companies align employee passions with corporate pursuits.  Human nature makes it very difficult to walk away from areas of passion. Fail to understand this and you will unknowingly be encouraging employees to seek
  2. You failed to challenge their intellect – smart people don’t like to live in a dimly lit would of boredom. If you don’t challenge people’s minds, they will leave you for some place that will.
  3. You failed to engage their creativity – great talent is wired to improve, enhance and add value. They are  built to change and innovate. They need to contribute by putting their fingerprints on design. Smart leaders don’t place people in boxes- they are free them from boxes. What is the use in having a racecourse if you don’t let them run.
  4. You failed to develop their skills – leadership isn’t a destination- it is continuum. No matter how smart or talented a person is, there is always are room for growth, development and continued maturation. If you place restrictions on a person’s ability to grow, they will leave you for someone who won’t.
  5. You failed to give them a voice – talented people have good thoughts, ideas, insights and observations. If you don’t listen to them, I can guarantee you someone else will.
  6. You failed to care – sure, people come to work for a pay check, but that is not the only reason. In fact , many studies show it is not even the most important reason. If you fail to care about people at human level, at an emotional level, they will eventually leave you regardless of how much you pay them.
  7. You failed to lead – business don’t fail, products don’t fail, projects don’t fail and teams don’t’ fail – leaders fail. The best testament to the value of leadership is what happens In its absence- very little. If you fail to lead, your talent will seek leadership elsewhere.
  8. You failed to recognise their contributions – the best leaders don’t take credit, they give it. Failing to recognise the contributions of others is not only arrogant but disingenuous, but it is as also just as good as asking them to leave.
  9. To failed to increased their responsibility – you cannot talent – try to do so and you will either dissolve into mediocrity or force your talent seek more fertile ground. People will gladly accept a huge workload as long as an increase in responsibility comes along with the performance and execution of said workload.
  10. You failed to keep your commitments – promises are made worthless, but promises kept are invaluable. If you break trust with those you lead you will pay a very steep price. Leaders not accountable to their people, will eventually be held accountable by their people.

Is there any difference between honesty, Integrity or dignity?

-
Reading is my hobby and now writing has taken that place recently. Well I was reading one book the other day and I noticed few words on which I got little confuse so I thought of doing some research on it to get the real meaning. These words are honesty and integrity.  After going through dictionary and some other available sources, I got to know the difference between honestly, integrity, dignity. Though I feel honesty and integrity are the synonyms but I came to know the definition of it, and it changed my perspective.  Honesty is when you tell the truth. Integrity is the validity of the truth (or standing morals). Like many other words, these two represent a whole world of meaning. They are used all the time and most of the time, people tend to understand what you mean if you use these words. Honesty is being honest to someone and integrity is maintaining self-respect and honesty. My opinion is you can be honest without integrity but you can’t maintain you...

Life is hard !!!

-
Trust me!!! On this earth nobody is fortunate enough to have the life without any struggle or trouble. Therefore when we say others are doing better than us or their luck favors them more than us or they have not faced any difficulty, we are making fool of ourselves.   Instead of that the truth is whenever they were going through difficult times they have crossed the hurdles with their determinatio n power and their focus towards their goals was so high, they achieved what they wanted to achieve and came out as a winner. Life teaches us many lesson and life depending on what the person wants to achieve, gives the opportunity to prove one-self. If you want to be a winner, you have to be strong enough to face the difficulty, whatever it may be, to become a winner.

Competition “A Threat or An opportunity?

-
How many of us are comfortable with competition. Aren’t we afraid the moment we hear the word competition? Most of the times, we try to give excuses in the name of competition. So when we say competition is high, we are actually escaping from the reality. Either we don’t want to work or we are so lazy to avoid hard work. If we want to exist in this world, we have to either “perform” or we will be “perish”. If we do not have competitor, we will be doing what we are doing, Competition gives us an opportunity to prove oneself.  My dear Friends, nothing comes free and you all know this, then why we are not ready to face competition. Instead of focusing on competition or what others got, we should concentrate on ourselves. We all have ability to achieve what we want; the only thing which we need is persistence and hardwork to achieve what we want. Many of the times we become so comfortable with whatever we have, we do not want to put extra hard work to do something different an...
