Learn to reinforce and acknowledge the contribution of every member of your team in recognition of the fact that all the members of the team came on board because of their perceived strengths, not their weaknesses. Organisations don't recruit people because of their weaknesses but on the basis of their strengths. This is the value they have been called to add to the enterprise. So, stop relating with your colleagues on the basis of their weaknesses, or else you will never have the benefit of their best performance and co-operation. Identify with your team members in their pains and in their joys.Even when the Almighty God Himself wanted to create the universe, He did not work alone. He engaged the Godhead-in-council. Jesus came to save the world but He took the time to assemble and work with a team of disciples. The Bible teaches us that one will chase a thousand and two will chase ten thousand. Synergy helps us to get results that are in multiples of effort put in. How awesome! If you attempt to engineer the failure of a member of the team, bear in mind that when the chips are down, he may also have sympathisers from within the team who will eventually administer to you a generous dose of your own medicine. In the event that you carry a Messiah complex that makes you feel that you are the next saviour of the world, do not be deceived, success has never been a solo effort. You need others as much as they need you.5. If you don't share the vision of an organisation, don't work for it! Jesus succeeded because He shared the passion of His CEO. You can only succeed well at something that unlocks your passion. Whatever you do in life that does not unlock your passion can never propel you in the direction of your loftiest dreams. The man does not exist who can sustain enthusiasm without passion. Find your passion and you've found your future. Do what you love, then love what you do! Find your dream job and it won't look like work. Work with a smile, not a frown. If you work for an organisation because that's the only place that can hire you, you're a liability, not an asset. Your commitment to the job is suspect. This is because commitment is nothing but the choice you made when confronted with options. The employer would want to know if you CHOSE to work with him or if you are COMPELLED by adverse circumstances to work with him. The bottom-line questions here are, 'Does your employer fear losing you to the competition' Or would we be very glad to see you go''6. You are a 24/7 advertisement for the organisation you work for.The way you dress on the job is the way you are addressed. Your physical appearance, carriage and comportment speak volumes about your work and your organisation. Always package yourself for the next level. If you are a clerk, carry yourself like an officer. If you are in Officer Cadre, carry yourself like a Manager. When you become Manager, comport yourself like a Director. People meet you before they meet the organisation. If people met you in a taxi in town and later found you at the front desk, would they want to patronise the establishment' How would you feel getting to the front desk of a hotel or any organisation and being greeted by a staff whose mouth odour makes you want to throw up or who obviously had not combed his bushy hair that day' ALWAYS have a positive attitude. Wear a smile as part of your dressing. Treat people the way you would love to be treated if you were them. You were employed to SERVE people, not vice versa.The people who walk through the door in your place of work are the reason your employer is in business! The clients don't come for you. You are there for them! If the people the organisation serves don't think you are good, then you are not. Sadly enough, neither is the company unless it gets rid of you!7. Your personality determines your performance on the job. Every man performs to the degree of the development of his own person. People are not what they do. Rather, people do who they are! This is why we are called human beings and not human doings! Know who you are so that no one will try to sell you a close alternative. Work on your self-esteem. You define the job, the job doesn't define you. Be a leader right where you are. Make a mark.Successful people succeed because they do small things in a great way! If you wait till you get the platform you want before you do your best, you may NEVER have it. Instead, use the platform you have to earn the platform you need' continuedRemember the sky is not your limit, God is!
