Communication - Personal Development - Business

I am amazed at people that email me with work problems where they choose to take NO responsibility for finding out more, or clarifying a situation. Do they just expect leaders and their company to read their mind?

In this age of computers, email and voice mail, we have lost the focus of personal responsibility and I personally am tired of it. Whether you are a leader or an employee, learn how to communicate well, ask questions and listen to the input. Check out my web site under articles for more on listening www.MarshaPetrieSue.com. Email me at Marsha@MarshaPetrieSue.com and I’ll send you some great ideas on how to instantly be a better communicator.

Train yourself to take responsibility for getting the new information that will guide you to successful outcomes. Help others do the same. Oh I know many of you do this already, so try to do a little more without driving yourself completely nuts! What do you think?

I think much of the toxicity in people today comes from parents and the educational systems “sanatizing” kids environments. Everyone has to learn how to compete, fail and succeed. Recently a coach had 30 girls try out for a soccer team and had slots for 10. Afraid of what the 20 kids and parents would say if their kids didn’t make the team, the coach TOTALLY rearranged the schedule to make “room” for all of the kids. What kind of lesson is that? Real life brings success AND failure. We are setting up the next generation for a huge let down when they get into the real world.

One of my clients no longer announces promotions because some of the managers don’t want to “explain” to the other people why this ONE person got the job. So why should good employees who enjoy public recognization even strive to be successful?

Lesson here: learn to communicate. The real world is not sanitized! Yikes - this is very scary and you should be very afraid!
